"Good class. Good instructors. A couple new techniques were learned, break ng and speed shifting. Reenforced advanced riding principles."
- Robert Padilla, July 2025
"This course was a great value! The instructors have a fantastic breadth of knowledge and know exactly how to make their wisdom stick with the students. I would recommend this course to anyone who wants a leg-up on motorcycle safety which, in this day and age with more and more people on the road, is a necessity."

"Doesn't matter if you're a beginner or a seasoned rider - PMT has been taking riders to new levels of riding safety and skill for years. Instructors are patient and effective - can't recommend this crew enough!"
- Miles Riley, November 2023
"I had an amazing experience. I had very little to no experience with riding and so I felt a little anxious about how quick I would learn everything and be ready for the evaluation. Halfway through the 1st day I had already began to feel more comfortable and confident with the bike I was riding. Day 1 and 2 had different instructors but they were all great and I learned a lot. I highly recommend for anyone who is looking to get their M1 to do this course!"

"🏍️ Fantastic Beginner Experience: Boosted Confidence on the Road I recently completed the motorcycle course on April 27-28, and as someone with minimal experience, I can't emphasize enough how valuable this course was for me. Not only was it incredibly enjoyable, but it also significantly enhanced my confidence in handling a motorcycle. The instructors were the true stars of the show. Their wealth of experience was evident, and they adeptly conveyed essential knowledge while making the learning process engaging and fun..."
