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.

"Took the class this weekend, Stephen and Seth were awesome. Great tools and education for Me to be safe out there on the road."

"Wow! These folks are true Pro’s. The online training prior to the beginning class was powerful. I learned so much and felt like I was already practicing in my mind before arriving. The in person/on bike part of the class was equally impressive. The teachers read each segment from a book and everything ran with military precision. That might sound boring or stiff, but after they made sure you got what you needed from the book, they added golden nuggets from their own experience..."

"The basic riding portion of the course was great for a beginner like me. Had never ridden a motorcycle before in my life, but was taught the foundational skills necessary to safely ride. Evie was a wonderful instructor. Highly recommend."

"The instructors Zac, Olivia and Mark were all amazing, very patient knowledgeable. I walked away with new knowledge and skills I was never aware of even after riding for years but self taught. So, if you think you know it all. It doesn't hurt to take the class if you haven't done so and just read thru the handbook. Even to refresh. A big thank you to the team."

"I rode a motorcycle a long time ago. I stopped riding in 1992 and about 7 years ago I let my license go . I found it to be very informative. The instructor was wonderful. I'm going to take their advanced class."
