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.

"Great experience. Learned a lot of fundamentals at this course and this made me more confident in my riding abilities. Instructors were very professional and knowledgeable. Instructors also kept it real and gave a lot of 1 on 1 when needed. I will recommend anyone that is trying to get there M1 license to attend this course."

"For never having ridden a motorcycle, the instructors did an amazing job. It was well worth the money, and I had a blast! Would definitely recommend this course to anyone thinking about getting a motorcycle."

"The guys running the course were great! Knowledgeable, relaxed and supportive. Unfortunately there was someone there, the first day, to do some surveying of the company or something. He on the other hand was a complete asshat who did nothing but confuse the students and shout random stuff angrily. I’ve put 5 stars despite that guy. I assume he’s not there often so I would still 100% recommend the company."

"All instructors were fantastic, especially Evie. I felt no pressure, learned at my own pace, got invaluable feedback, and learned the skills necessary to operate a motorcycle. Highly recommended."

"This was a great experience. I'd never even been on a bike before and by the end of day two I could actually manage the bike and learned so much. The instructors were amazing, informative, patient, and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend."

"Couldn’t hope for a more comprehensive way to refresh my memory after not riding for the last ten years, and get my motorcycle endorsement while at it. Super easy to reach (walk through the Tanforan from the San Bruno BART station and it’s right across the street) and incredibly patient and knowledgeable instructors (props to Dillon for his great attitude and humor!)."
