"As a person who rode for 18+ years then took a 35+ year break, the class was an excellent refresher. It helped me remember a lot of things (push steering for one) that I had long forgotten. The instructors were personable, friendly, professional and VERY knowledgeable. All in all, I feel it was an excellent investment in time and money. I highly recommend this class for ALL beginners and those of us that have had a long hiatus from riding."

"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!"

"The class was very informative and well put together. The teachers were awesome, (there's always 2) and this was my 2nd time taking a M1 safety class to get my M1 license after not riding for 3 years.. and needed to renew my M1 lic. It made a lot of sense to take the course again just in case I'd forgotten important safety tips, and I'm VERY glad I retook the course. I didn't realize I'd accumulated a few bad habits over the years that made me not as safe of a rider..."

"I had an amazing time at Pacific Motorcycle Training in San Bruno! I had no experience with motorcycles before, but I left with a solid foundation and a clear understanding of how to ride one. Our day 1 instructors, Dan and Mike, were super helpful and informative. They showed us how to get familiar with the bike and its controls, and they taught us the basics of riding. I left day 1 feeling really good and excited for day 2. To my surprise, Our day 2 instructors were different, and we were told that’s usually not the case..."

"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."

"The beginning video and set your pace online intro was well done for visual based learners. The in person class was great! The instructors Jacob, Chris and Isaac were always more than willing to answer any questions at any time."
