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 place to learn how to ride. I came in with absolutely no experience and felt comfortable with all the basics of riding after the course. Instructors were very experienced and supportive. The lecture portion is online and interactive, which is great because you can go through it at whatever pace and repeat chapters as needed."

"What an excellent class. I was expecting when j showed up that many people were going to have a lot of experience on a motorcycle already. Turns out, most of them never been on a motorized bike, we all passed, a couple folks needed some extra time to learn things and that’s what happen. 100% recommend this beginner course for anyone!"
