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!

"A must for anyone thinking of riding. The instructors are amazing and actually care about you learning vs just trying to get you through the lesson. The exercises are useful and to the point, none of the time is wasted on anything you wouldn’t use on the road."

"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."

"I had a great experience taking the course over the weekend. It was my first time riding and Evie was so calm and confident I knew I could trust her coaching. The course itself sets you up well as a good rider and will probably take the intermediate and advanced courses in the future."

"Very good experience, 10/10 would recommend. The trainers are very experienced and are nice, they made everything easy to follow and complete, and they are super patient with you no matter what. Definitely worth it if you are a new rider or looking to see if you would like to ride a motorcycle some day."

"I had an amazing experience. I had very little to no experience with riding and so I felt a little anxious about how quick I would learn everything and be ready for the evaluation. Halfway through the 1st day I had already began to feel more comfortable and confident with the bike I was riding. Day 1 and 2 had different instructors but they were all great and I learned a lot. I highly recommend for anyone who is looking to get their M1 to do this course!"

"Super patient and Likable instructors. Don't come thinking you know everything, do not be late, bring healthy snacks, listen and pay close attention to more experienced riders. What you pay to participate in the course is so worth it in the end. Morning class Feb 28 - Mar 1."

"Had a fantastic time! I went in knowing how to ride and wasn’t planning on learning as much as I did. They made me realize I truly had no idea what I was doing! They taught me so much and gave me advice every-time we did an exercise. I didn’t feel looked over. Olivia was my instructor for both days and I absolutely loved her! She was very patient with all of us and gave amazing feedback. I will be coming back for another class in the future."
