"I had very little riding experience and the instructors did a fantastic job of teaching me. The course and instructors are very safety focused and this made me much more comfortable on a motorcycle. I highly recommend the course and Pacific Motorcycle Training!"

"PMT class was an amazing experience, much better curriculum and instructors than I’ve found through any of the other many classes I’ve taken. Registration was simple. Instructors delivered materials efficiently and in pretty simple terms. Thanks, guys! I’ll come back to you guys for sure when I decide on to move to intermediate and advanced classes. Highly recommend"

"Its taken be seven months to right this review simply because I ve been too busy riding! First time even turning on a motorcycle was at Pacific Motorcycle Training and I was so nervous. Now I m riding Harleys and going on Route 66 tours. I m so thankful to the team (Craig was crazy patient out on the lot) and taking the written test at the DMV was so easy after all the classroom training. I get to experience the road in a way that s unexplainable in complete control and it s one of the most amazing feelings in the world. Thank you guys!!!"

"I really enjoyed my CMSP beginners course in San Bruno. The instructors give good advice, are enthusiastic, and are encouraging. I still have a ton to learn but I feel more confident that I have a good start after taking the course. Thanks Patrick, Q, and Kieran! You guys did a great job."

"Great course even if you have zero riding experience like me. Instructor Dillon struck a great balance between enthusiastic coaching, professional approach and having a good time. Lots of time actually riding and learning to handle the bike. You can bring your own bike if you check with the office first. My partner (who already rides) took this class with me and thought it was a significantly better class than other CSMP courses he has attended in the area. Very fun, highly informative, super recommend it as a way to try out riding and gain handling skills."
