"I have completed my Advance Level 1 and Level 2 training with them. Professional instructors, good class size. Great feedback and immense progress during the day. Livermore is a convenient location. Appreciated the water and snacks provided. I will go back to attend more training, I feel so much safer on the road having completed their courses!"

"I came to the class very nervous and very worried because I'm an anxiety prone person when it comes to something that I know there's a test for afterwards. The instructors, Steve and Wyatt, were able to calm my nerves with their ability to clearly state and show through live demonstrations what was needed to be done. By the end of the course, I felt very confident that I learned enough to be able to ride a motorcycle in practice sessions without much fear of getting into an accident..."

"Took a training class here and was extremely impressed by the instructors. I had quite a few questions and they answered them all quickly and logically. Being a newbie rider I didn't have a ton of confidence at first, but halfway through the course I felt like I was riding like a pro. Will send my friends here and definitely recommend PMT for anyone getting into riding!"

"Great experience. Instructors were very patient, thorough, and professional. Would highly recommend for anyone who’s never taken a class whether they are a complete novice or an experienced rider they can benefit from a formal overview of the fundamentals of riding."

"Pacific Motorcycle Training will provide the basic tools needed, preparing new riders to get out there and mix it up safely with the four-wheeled masses. The numerous instructors are very knowledgeable and give an appropriate dose of confidence to new riders, while offering valuable reminders and safety tips to the more seasoned rider. They also offer more advanced riding classes. Totally worth the time, money, and your life"

"Highly recommended. Can’t say enough about this crew. These are the experts. Training courses of multiple skill levels available. Riding needs to be taken seriously and riders need to be prepared for the unexpected to make every ride as safe as possible. PTM has a great team packed with knowledge and experience that can help make every ride that such safer. Classes like this should be mandatory before taking to the roads, no matter where you are..."
