"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!!!"

"This class was well worth the money. The classroom instructions were applicable and but not overly tedious. The range was a bit remedial in the beginning, but quickly ramped up and was actually quite fun and educational. The instructors, Tim, Chris and Lisa were great. The content was well planned out and rehearsed and there was no wasted time. Well done!"

"Great learning experience. Instructors (Rogge) and Jeremiah were patient, clear and thorough. And having it raining in the second day added a layer of challenge to the drills, solid. I highly recommend to any folks thinking about getting in a bike, to secure a solid foundation with these folks!"

"Taking this class made me so much more comfortable on a bike then I previously was. After taking the online courses and the driving classes I learned more and felt more confident. The instructor was clear and helpful, wasn't afraid to answer our questions."

"Highly recommended. Can’t say enough about this crew. These are the experts. Training courses of multiple skill levels available. Riding needs to be taken seriously and riders need to be prepared for the unexpected to make every ride as safe as possible. PTM has a great team packed with knowledge and experience that can help make every ride that such safer. Classes like this should be mandatory before taking to the roads, no matter where you are. Learn before you ride and let this crew show you how it’s done."
