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!

"The experience was lit! I'm a total greenhorn, never laid hands on a motorcycle before. The instructors were fire! They were chill and their teaching method was dope! Big ups to Steve, Crusoe, and Dylan for being so rad. Much appreciated! My main vibe? Cruising on a motorcycle so can’t wait to level up and hop in on more classes down the road."

"As a brand new rider with 0 experience I felt like I gained skills and knowledge for real world scenarios. The instructors were clear, patient, knowledgeable and did not hold back with the real risks of driving a motorcycle. I would strongly recommend ALL new or beginner riders to take this class. I can’t wait for my intermediate level!"

"I had an excellent experience during the CMSP basic course with Pacific Motorcycle Training in the Monterey/Salinas area. I have been a passenger on a motorcycle before, but had never rode one by myself. The instructors for our course, Dillon and Chris, were enthusiastic, cared for our safety, and made everyone feel welcome regardless of experience level. They made me even more excited to begin my journey as a motorcycle rider."

"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..."

"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..."

"10/10 - I HIGHLY recommend them. This group is incredibly knowledgeable, and care deeply about the training they provide. I cannot recommend this organization any more highly. Erin(1), Erin(2), Steve, and Dillon were all PHENOMENAL instructors!!"

- James Frieberg, March 2024

"Had a great experience with Pacific Motorcycle Training. The instructors were professional, patient, and very knowledgeable. 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."
