Elevate the Ride & Expand Your Possibilities

Welcome to Pacific Motorcycle Training, the top school in the San Jose/South Bay area, where riders can take their motorcycle riding to a new level. Take in some new techniques, experience professional coaching and stretch yourself in an experience that will help you fine tune your skills and follow your path to mastery. At our San Jose site we offer both intermediate and advanced course for licensed riders.

Total Control® Intermediate Riding Clinic

Developed by Total Control Training, the Intermediate Riding Clinic is the perfect next step for newer riders who are looking to improve their skills as well as riders that have recently returned to riding after years off. This course includes both classroom and on-cycle instruction. The IRC is based on the most current research in rider safety, utilizes modern training methods and has been proven to enhance student outcomes. (This is not a licensing course —you must have your M-1 to participate in the IRC at the San Jose location. For the Intermediate Riding Clinic / CMSP 1-Day Premier Course with licensing option, please see our class offerings in Livermore and Salinas.)

Total Control® Advanced Riding Clinic

Whether you want to become a more proficient and safer rider on the street—or a faster rider on the track—mastering advanced riding techniques is crucial and should not be postponed until it is too late. Unfortunately, most advanced riding courses in the country are only offered in high-speed racetrack environments. The fear of crashing at high speeds and the pressure of other riders flying by are too intimidating to most motorcyclists so they never take this important step forward. During our Advanced Riding Clinics, every drill is performed one at a time, and at street-legal speeds, in a controlled environment. After each run, you will receive professional, concise coaching on the specific skills you need to work on to transform your riding. From cruisers to sportbikes, all types of motorcycles and riding styles are welcome to attend. This course is based on Lee Parks' best selling book Total Control: High Performance Street Riding Techniques.

We welcome all San Jose residents as well as future riders from neighboring towns such as Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, Cupertino, Fremont, Morgan Hill, and more. Become a better rider and have fun with us!

"I am so impressed with this company I felt enthusiastically inspired to express this as a recommendation to all who have even the slightest interest in bicycles, e-bikes, motorcycles of all kinds and even drivers. We all share the road, and though there are more divers than motorcyclists, becoming aware of the safety for all vehicles, and human lives traveling in or around them, is such a key cornerstone anthem we should always be striving for. This class did just that. Pacific Motorcycle Training team were so helpful. It was so easy to sign up. Not only did I become familiar and successful completing the online e-rider course, the two days of hands on experience operating and learning with expert instructors supporting me the whole way through, this journey has made all the difference in the world to feeling more confident excited to explore such an exhilarating experience of motorcycles. I was so impressed with their skill, knowledge, patience and their ability to teach the material in a very digestible and memorable manner. I am so grateful I signed up for this course. As a 38 year old woman I now feel empowered to ride knowing that I’ve gained so many skills and abilities to be as safe as I can in real life without the anxiety of getting into a situation and panic instead of calmly reacting appropriately and safely. Some people love 4 wheels and some prefer 2 wheels, yet both deserve respect , consideration, and concentration of all who participate in sharing the open road. Thank you Pacific Motorcycle Training and team for all your guidance and encouragement and I am very much looking forward to continuing this journey taking classes to the next level and continue striving towards gaining even more skills and knowledge in how to be the best rider I can out there. Thanks 🙏 I appreciate you all. -Ruthie"

"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."

"Great way to learn how to ride. The course left me with much more confidence being on a bike then coming in. Learned about how to ride and the risk that come with it. Would gladly come again to take the more advanced classes."

― Christopher Vera

"Such incredible instructors. Learned an insane amount in just three days. Recommend 1000 times over. If you want to ride, do yourself a favour and take the course."

"Instructors (Chris and Sheila) were awesome, knowledgeable but also used humor and personal stories to help us remember things better. Learning how to ride on the range was much more intense than I expected - went from learning what the clutch and throttle is on the bike to practicing weaving around cones, taking a quick turn, upshifting and then swerving past an obstacle in the road. Great class overall!"

― Zohaib Khan

"They did a great job. Cool instructors and students. The only thing they can improve is their lot to make it more realistic to everyday riding conditions. But they did a great job with what they have and everything is practical, useful and safety oriented. Thank you guys"

"I completed the basic safety course this past weekend with Thomas and Erin. Great instructors - patient and really helpful! It was my first time riding a motorcycle so I was pretty intimidated at first but much more confident and comfortable by the end of day 2. Huge thanks to the instructors for their time, patience, and dedication. Highly recommend!"
