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!

"MUST ATTEND this training! Evie and her team are phenomenal and will teach you the basics of being a safe and effective rider. They made everyone feel comfortable even if you’ve never touched a motorcycle before. No new rider should just go and get a license without attending a CMSP class. Highly Recommended!"

"Great learning experience! Safe environmemt with good pacing amd rest time inbetween. Instructors followed the manual closely so everything was covered. Instructors were encouraging but also letting you know what to improve. Only downside would be various states of the available bikes and so it is a bit of a lottery. Otherwise overall great!"

"Q and Crusoe are amazing instructors. Honestly couldn’t have asked for anyone better. Both of them teach in an easy to learn way as well."

They emphasized safety at every step and created a supportive environment for learning. The course was well-structured, and I left feeling confident and prepared to ride safely. I highly recommend Pacific Motorcycle Training to anyone looking to get started on two wheels."

"Highly recommended if you want to get your motorcycle license. Wyatt, Evie and Lorenzo are awesome instructors. They were very patient and made sure that we are properly trained before we go on the road."

"Quite a few of the nine riders in this class were skeptical that we would learn all that much. By the end, we all agreed that we benefitted. I’ve already been applying the cornering skills I learned there. One more thing: Evie was a great instructor. She demonstrated each maneuver flawlessly, and you could just tell she was an excellent rider. But she was also a great teacher. Positive, observant, insightful, and exceedingly helpful. Kudos Evie!"

"Zac & Isaac took the time to explain not just how to ride, but why each technique matters—from proper clutch control and braking to situational awareness on the road. They created a comfortable learning environment where I felt supported, never rushed, and always safe."
