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.

"The instructors were so patient and the safety training was excellent. I felt much more confident after the sessions ended. Erin, Connor and Lorenzo were great instructors and I totally recommend undergoing the safety training before you take your motorcycle on the roads!"

"I had a great experience! It was fun, approachable, and appropriately suited for beginner riders. The instructors (Jose, Andrew, and Jacob) did a great job educating us, supporting us, and helping us apply proper technique while we learned. They also impressed upon us the real-world dangers that exist when riding motorcycles while teaching us how to actively avoid or manage those risks to the best of our ability. I highly recommend this course to anybody looking to start riding a motorcycle."

"Great learning experience! Safe environmemt with good pacing amd rest time inbetween. Instructors followed the manual closely so everything was covered. Instructors were encouraging but also letting you know what to improve. Only downside would be various states of the available bikes and so it is a bit of a lottery. Otherwise overall great!"

"Had a fantastic time! I went in knowing how to ride and wasn’t planning on learning as much as I did. They made me realize I truly had no idea what I was doing! They taught me so much and gave me advice every-time we did an exercise. I didn’t feel looked over. Olivia was my instructor for both days and I absolutely loved her! She was very patient with all of us and gave amazing feedback. I will be coming back for another class in the future."
