"I had ridden motorcycle back in India and was getting back into it again here in the US. The training was very educating and the staff was super friendly. They had helmets and even gloves so that helped too. The bikes were very good and didn't pose any issues. The instructors, Anthony, Erin, and Tony were very nice and helped us immensely during the two day program. I loved the experience and would love to take intermediate lessons some time in future."

"An amazing experience! I went into this class fairly nervous, never have ridden a bike before in my life, wasn’t even sure what a clutch was… But, Zach and Issac were awesome at making everything unbelievably easy to understand, their way of instructing made my nervousness disappear and made everything I needed to know about riding a motorcycle click. Felt like a veteran rider after day 1, and that was solidified even further as day 2 came to an end..."

"If you’re looking for an amazing experience to start your riding career, this is the place. The instructors are patient, friendly, knowledgeable and know how to relay that knowledge. Evi was a fantastic instructor in particular. Once the class was done they offer an intermediate class at a discount (it never expires) which I didn’t hesitate to sign up for. 👍"

"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."

"The beginning video and set your pace online intro was well done for visual based learners. The in person class was great! The instructors Jacob, Chris and Isaac were always more than willing to answer any questions at any time."

"Pacific Motorcycle Training was a superb class. Even though I had ridden a motorcycle before, they still taught valuable habits and lessons in the beginner course. The instructors are friendly and knowledgeable, and the whole experience was immensely valuable. I would highly recommend to anybody interested in riding a motorcycle!"
