"Great learning experience! Safe environmemt with good pacing amd rest time inbetween. Instructors followed the manual closely so everything was covered. Instructors were encouraging but also letting you know what to improve. Only downside would be various states of the available bikes and so it is a bit of a lottery. Otherwise overall great!"

"Epic learning experience!!! Conceptual, tactile, visual and hands-on! Very thorough lesson by highly experienced instructors at the perfect pace to allow even the most novice of beginners to grasp the dexterous maneuvers required to take to the road beyond. Absolute must step to getting the m1 license. Huge thanks to Wyatt, Kevin and Steve for helping me pass my test and getting on the road to that horizon. AAAAAAAAA+++++++++"

"Great experience. Instructors were very patient, thorough, and professional. Would highly recommend for anyone who’s never taken a class whether they are a complete novice or an experienced rider they can benefit from a formal overview of the fundamentals of riding."

"WOW!!!! What an amazing experience these guys know their stuff. Everyone has something to learn at pacific motorcycle! All levels will excel with these professionals. I took the level 2 course and I was baffled with how much good techniques I learned. Big thanks to the staff for making this a great experience. If you’re iffy on pulling the trigger……do it! It just might save your life."

"I had an excellent experience during the CMSP basic course with Pacific Motorcycle Training in the Monterey/Salinas area. I have been a passenger on a motorcycle before, but had never rode one by myself. The instructors for our course, Dillon and Chris, were enthusiastic, cared for our safety, and made everyone feel welcome regardless of experience level. They made me even more excited to begin my journey as a motorcycle rider."
- Christopher Hoskins, March 2025
"The instructors- Chris, Alex and Isaac, were incredibly kind and helpful, and made sure everyone in the course got the skills they needed to be more comfortable and informed riders. I could not recommend these guys and this course enough for anyone looking to get into being a safe rider on the road"
