Become a better—and safer—rider using your own motorcycle with our Intermediate Riding Clinic. Or take your cornering and crash-avoidance skills to the highest level with our Advanced Riding Clinics, taught only by the best certified instructors in the Bay Area!


"The instructors were fantastic! Thomas, Erin, and Maya were all incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about motorcycles. Their enthusiasm was contagious, which made the course fun and engaging. They were patient and always happy to answer questions, no matter how basic. I felt comfortable making mistakes and learned a lot from their clear explanations and demonstrations."

"I struggled a lot with the weight of the bike and fell a couple times. Q gave me helpful tips on balancing the bike and offered a lighter bike. All the teachers were very helpful, knowledgable and patient. The first day was hard learning the basics but by the end I learned how to ride the motorcycle and was able to pass the class."

"The Beginner course is great! A lot of good safety and basic motorcycle operating procedures covered in the theory classes. PMT provides bikes for people who don't own one yet to practice with. The instructors on the course are very helpful and provide continuous feedback to correct riding posture and other nuances. I would definitely recommend taking this course for people who aren't comfortable or used to riding a motorcycle."

"Helpful staff. Knowledgeable instructors. You will definitely come out more confident in riding a motorcycle if you are a newbie. A con though: You better pass the written test the first time, or else they will charge you $75 to re-take it. I personally did not see the reason why. I mean, I took it during their business hour."

"Took this training course and never been on a motorcycle. I took the classroom portion on eRider prior to practice riding range. This made it easy as it was going at my own pace. Really get to focus on what was being taught. The first day of riding portion, they’ll teach you where the controls are on the bike and a lot of slow maneuvering and Taking corners. Thomas and Mark was very patient. I was tentative but they kept reminding me to trust the process. Second day I was exited to get back on the bike to learn more things at the same time scared of failing on test day. I’ve gained some confidence at this point. This day we had Evie and Erin. They were awesome. Went over stuff that was going to be on the test and would explain to you what you need to do better. They just didn’t tell us. They ask you to pull off from training course and EXPLAIN. That was a relief. I believe all but one past the test. I bought my first motorcycle and confident enough to ride around town. If you’re thinking of getting your license or even need the course to get an insurance discount or just need to be a better rider this course is a must."
