"Absolutely amazing experience with Pacific Motorcycle Training! I am so glad this company is offering classes in San Jose. I have taken classes with mutiple training schools and PMT is the best, by far. Their dedication to making riders better is apparent and the staff is amazing. I believe continuing to take motorcycle classes makes riders the most skilled and safest we can be. Highly recommend!"

"Great beginner course. Straight to the bikes and no classroom instruction which i like the best. Hands on is the only way to go. Both instructors did an excellent job building confidence for all students. After some basic riding experience, will return to take the next level course!"

"Quite a few of the nine riders in this class were skeptical that we would learn all that much. By the end, we all agreed that we benefitted. I’ve already been applying the cornering skills I learned there. One more thing: Evie was a great instructor. She demonstrated each maneuver flawlessly, and you could just tell she was an excellent rider. But she was also a great teacher. Positive, observant, insightful, and exceedingly helpful. Kudos Evie!"

"5 stars for the program! I ve learned a lot just by attending this short 2 day course. Both Chris and Isaac are great instructors. They bring lots of real life experience and humor when they teach. They make the classes fun both inside the class room and on the range. Highly recommend them!!"

"A very thorough course for beginners. The instructors were very knowledgeable and taught the class well. 100% recommend this course."

"I’m still in shock. I was actually able to ride a motorcycle and (!!) it was fun. It was my first time on a bike and first time using a clutch. The course breaks the drills down to baby steps that build on each other. I felt uneasy the majority of the first day but never unsafe. Chris and Dylan deserve all your money if you want to learn to ride. They are excellent coaches who balance constructive criticism and encouragement. Every bit of coaching made me feel safer and more confident on the bike..."

"Zac & Isaac took the time to explain not just how to ride, but why each technique matters—from proper clutch control and braking to situational awareness on the road. They created a comfortable learning environment where I felt supported, never rushed, and always safe."
