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.

"Epic learning experience!!! Conceptual, tactile, visual and hands-on! Very thorough lesson by highly experienced instructors at the perfect pace to allow even the most novice of beginners to grasp the dexterous maneuvers required to take to the road beyond. Absolute must step to getting the m1 license. Huge thanks to Wyatt, Kevin and Steve for helping me pass my test and getting on the road to that horizon. AAAAAAAAA+++++++++"

"The basic course was a rewarding and positive learning experience with a strong emphasis on skills building and reinforcement with real world application. It is imperative that all new motorcyclists complete this training. As a returning motorcyclist I found it to be a great review that helped me to unlearn bad habits, especially in emergency braking. The instructors are exemplary. I will take the intermediate and advanced courses as soon as I can..."

"Fantastic, I would highly recommend anybody who is contemplating riding or, is riding a motorcycle to attend. The course work and instructors have given me the basic tools required to learn how to ride a motorcycle correctly as well as of course, a taster of how much fun riding a motorcycle can be."

"I am training to be an instructor and it is required to take several classes to get an understanding of the program from a new rider's perspective. I am impressed with how well the program works I have been to 1 class and then I was a student both times I watched Evie teach very new students ranging in age how to ride a motorcycle. She is a great teacher and is very good at giving positive feedback and helping the students if they need help in a certain drill..."

"As a person who rode for 18+ years then took a 35+ year break, the class was an excellent refresher. It helped me remember a lot of things (push steering for one) that I had long forgotten. The instructors were personable, friendly, professional and VERY knowledgeable. All in all, I feel it was an excellent investment in time and money. I highly recommend this class for ALL beginners and those of us that have had a long hiatus from riding."

"When I heard that these guys were opening a Sacramento location, I got three friends signed up who've been gearing up to take a training course on the east side. I wasn't surprised that they enjoyed their experience as much as I did. I would recommend Pacific Motorcycle Training to anyone looking to learn from scratch or just to keep your skills fresh. Very professional, knowledgeable and they keep it fun!"
