"This outfit has an extremely personable and energetic staff. Their instruction was very clear and easy to understand but not sugar coated. Both my daughter and I learned what we needed to, had lots of fun and we re definitely coached when we screwed up. They teach with passion and want you to succeed but make sure you are capable to move on. They are a top notch crew and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Of you re on the fence, definitely go with them you will not be disappointed!"

"The instructors are very insightful, nice, and patient. I'm glad I took this course. I would recommend it to anyone looking to learn how to ride a motorcycle. If I decide to pursue any advance motorcycling courses, they will likely be my first consideration."

"This place embodies people 1st mentality! Nothing except top tier instruction and training. This is the only place I would recommend that teaches the confidence, competence and skills you can use for a lifetime."

"Couldn’t hope for a more comprehensive way to refresh my memory after not riding for the last ten years, and get my motorcycle endorsement while at it. Super easy to reach (walk through the Tanforan from the San Bruno BART station and it’s right across the street) and incredibly patient and knowledgeable instructors (props to Dillon for his great attitude and humor!)."

"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..."

"A great experience learning the basics of Motorcycle riding. Evie and team are fabulous. Two packed days of 5 hrs each was well structured and executed. Highly recommend this training for anyone planning to get on a motorbike."

"I had never ridden a motorcycle before this class, and now that I have completed the full course (online and in person, on bike, portions) I can't imagine learning to ride without it. The online classes were comprehensive and much more real world than I was expecting. The on bike training was solid, and our instructor knowledgeable, patient, upbeat, but also firm. I appreciated her immensely. HIGHLY recommend."
