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 and scooter training classes at six great locations: South San Francisco, San Bruno, Livermore at Las Positas College campus, Woodland, Salinas and San Jose. 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.

"This course was a great value! The instructors have a fantastic breadth of knowledge and know exactly how to make their wisdom stick with the students. I would recommend this course to anyone who wants a leg-up on motorcycle safety which, in this day and age with more and more people on the road, is a necessity."

"What an amazing experience these highly skilled instructors provide. Instructors take turns leading classroom learning sessions, providing feedback after students perform exercises on the motor cycles and they each perform (ride) demonstrations of the various exercises themselves, showing us how to and not to execute the. This is a top notch organization!!!"

"Took the class from Evie who was, by far, the most professional and knowledgeable instructor I’ve ever had. She’s an excellent communicator and very patient with new riders. My 17yo daughter also took the class and Evie had her riding safely in no time. We are very fortunate to have taken this fantastic course and will be safer riders thanks to Evie."
