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 and scooter training classes at three great locations: South San Francisco, Livermore at Las Positas College campus and Salinas. 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!

"The instructors are great & the pace was perfect for me. Training on relatively heavy & powerful Sportsters probably sets riders up for success on more bikes than programs that use smaller beginner bikes. My goal was to gain enough skill to continue learning on my own (after many years away from riding). That s exactly what I got from the class."

"George and Chris were fantastic guides. My girlfriend and I took the intro course together. She was getting on a motorcycle for the first time and was very nervous. Those two guys, and another whose name I forget, helped her feel more comfortable on the bike. The two of us are definitely going back for intermediate and advanced courses!!"

"Both the online class and the riding sessions were well run and provided tons of information. Evie was exceptionally good with her demonstrations and at patiently explaining the techniques needed to be a good rider. Overall I had a good time and learned some valuable skills .. Thanks"

"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!"

"This is a good course for those of us new to riding or for those looking to brush up on the basics. Two days of riding and I went from having no idea where the controls are to navigating a basic driving track. Further courses are offered, and I expect to go again once I have time to practice what I've learned so far."

― John Lambros

"I came here knowing very little about riding a motorcycle and finished the course feeling more confident and at ease about riding. They can teach you all the basics for getting around on a motorcycle over a short weekend and still continue to make it fun and engaging. Definitely recommend Pacific Motorcycle Training for anyone looking to learn how to ride a motorcycle confidently!"
