"I was nervous to start the course but I'm really glad I did, trainers were knowledgeable and understanding. After completing the course, I learned everything I needed to know and gain so much confidence on riding. No complaints and would definitely look into the intermediate lesson next👍"

"Had a great experience. Came in not knowing anything about riding a motorcycle and learned a lot. The instructors were great."

"The Pacific Motorcycle Training held by Issac and James was an excellent experience. Both instructors took care in providing specific and clear coaching advice. Doing the online course provided a great deal of preparation for the in person events. The only somewhat feedback I could give was around logistics. The pin included in the email routed me to the spartan race parking area just over the hill. I recommend paying more attention to the turn by turn directions included in the email instead of relying on the pin drop in the email..."

"Excellent motorcycle training course! The instructors explained everything clearly, from basic riding skills to important safety rules. They were patient, detailed, and made learning easy and comfortable for beginners. I learned a lot and feel much more confident riding now. Highly recommended."

"I signed up to this class wanting to overcome past trauma and full filling a life long desire. Walking in with sweating palms, a shaky gate and even fogging up the shield on the helmet I thought everyone could notice the anxiety that was clearly evident. It was my very first time being in control of a motorcycle- there was no need for me to tell the instructors- they already knew. They began to build up my confidence little by little and as the day progressed my body felt more and more at ease..."

"Great experience. The instructors were very knowledgeable with all their instructions. Great class for new riders and a great refresher course for people with some riding expedience."

"All three instructors I had really knocked it out of the park. The training hours felt like time and money very well-spent. I gained concrete skills on the bike and got really good feedback on my technique as I learned. Instructors were direct yet patient and did well managing a variety of skill levels. There were two instructors each day and they did great managing a fairly large group. It never felt like too many people or like I didn't have the chance to ask questions..."
