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!

"An amazing experience! I went into this class fairly nervous, never have ridden a bike before in my life, wasn’t even sure what a clutch was… But, Zach and Issac were awesome at making everything unbelievably easy to understand, their way of instructing made my nervousness disappear and made everything I needed to know about riding a motorcycle click. Felt like a veteran rider after day 1, and that was solidified even further as day 2 came to an end..."

"I can't thank these guys enough. Such incredible patience and knowledge! We had a class with students from all walks of life and backgrounds, and these guys were able to make everyone's experience a very pleasant one. The classes were super informative and fun. They really do give 110%. Ray, Isaac, and Chris, thank you guys so much. You're absolutely terrific and it's been a pleasure learning from and getting to know you."

"I signed up to this class wanting to overcome past trauma and full filling a life long desire. Walking in with sweating palms, a shaky gate and even fogging up the shield on the helmet I thought everyone could notice the anxiety that was clearly evident. It was my very first time being in control of a motorcycle- there was no need for me to tell the instructors- they already knew. They began to build up my confidence little by little and as the day progressed my body felt more and more at ease..."

"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."

"The instructors are very insightful, nice, and patient. I'm glad I took this course. I would recommend it to anyone looking to learn how to ride a motorcycle. If I decide to pursue any advance motorcycling courses, they will likely be my first consideration."
