"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."

"Dylan, Chris, and Q were all excellent instructors! I genuinely feel so much more safe and confident on a motorcycle now, and definitely recommend anyone thinking of riding (even if you're just riding Revel scooters around SF like I am!) to do the class, totally worth it."

"Absolutely amazing experience with Pacific Motorcycle Training! I am so glad this company is offering classes in San Jose. I have taken classes with mutiple training schools and PMT is the best, by far. Their dedication to making riders better is apparent and the staff is amazing. I believe continuing to take motorcycle classes makes riders the most skilled and safest we can be. Highly recommend!"

"Q, Patrick, and Kieran were outstanding! They made the class very engaging and super fun learning environment. The class consisted of 9 students and the instructors did very well managing the group. They showed us great patience and kindness in class whenever we made mistakes. The instructors made sure that you’re capable of doing the riding exercises as safely as possible and develop good habits from it and hoping you’ll be able to apply those habits when you start riding out in the real world..."
