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 had a great experience taking the course over the weekend. It was my first time riding and Evie was so calm and confident I knew I could trust her coaching. The course itself sets you up well as a good rider and will probably take the intermediate and advanced courses in the future."

"I recently took the intermediate course to get my motorcycle license, and honestly, I was a bit nervous about the skills test at first. But the bikes they provided were all new or newer models, super easy to ride, and that made a huge difference. The overall experience was fun, and the day flew by. We had a bit of classroom time, but most of the day was spent riding — which is exactly what I was hoping for. The instructors were very relaxed and easygoing, which helped make the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free..."

I would highly recommend taking the beginner class to learn the basics. It’ll help you become a better rider on the road."
