About Us

Pacific Motorcycle Training

Pacific Motorcycle Training is a motorcycle riding school where students learn the basics and gain confidence to operate a motorcycle safely. We offer motorcycle training classes at 7 great locations: South San Francisco, San Bruno, Livermore at Las Positas College campus, Woodland, Salinas, Cloverdale and Eureka. These locations are easy to find and parking is always hassle-free.

Our basic course is CMSP-approved. This means students who take and pass our course receive a DL389 certificate required to waive the DMV riding skill test. We teach the very latest techniques in safety, accident prevention, cornering, and how to use a clutch as well as proficient braking.

For New Riders

Learn the basics of riding safely in a controlled environment and receive the certificate that may waive the DMV riding skill test. Our friendly basic riding course was designed for people with zero experience on a motorcycle. We provide motorcycles and helmets for you to learn with.

For Experienced Riders

Become a better—and safer—rider using your own motorcycle with our Intermediate Riding Clinic. Or take your cornering and crash-avoidance skills to the highest level with our Advanced Riding Clinics, taught only by the best certified instructors in the Bay Area!

"I strongly recommend this place to every motorcycle learner. All 3 instructors were awesome; White (hopefully I heard his name correctly) was the best. He’s super supportive and energized; “Aim! Throttle!” still lingered in my head. Never touched a motorcycle in my life; the thought to ride a motorcycle came to my mind as my cars are in good shape and there is little chance to replace them at least in the next 5 years. This is the closest class in Trivalley where you get the DMV road test waiver upon successful completion..."

"Fantastic course. Instructors were clear, friendly and efficient. Really helped build a lot of basic skills. Highly recommend. Only downside was the cold and windy weather in South SF!"

"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..."

"🏍️ 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..."
