"Fantastic course. Both Isaac and Craig were great instructors, very lively and engaging. Overall, the course was very informative, and the practical portion of the course left me with a much greater understanding of how to be a better, safer rider."

"Instructors were friendly and gave good constructive criticism about how to fix your issues. I was a total beginner when it came to riding a bikes and by the end of the class I was quite comfortable with the maneuvering. My only wish is if the course completion certificate and form for the DMV was given faster or in person rather than mailed so we can get our license faster."

"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."

"Erin, Crusoe and Eevie have been very patient with me. I had zero experience with gear shifting and they made it very easy to learn. They are very knowledgeable about the courses. They made it very easy to learn and understand on how to be a safe rider. Thank you guys so much for this opportunity and I highly recommend them if you were to learn how to ride motorcycle and to become a safe rider."
