Motorcycle Riding Courses for Experienced Riders

Pacific Motorcycle Training

We offer three different options for riders who want to become better and safer on the road.

For New Riders

Learn the basics of riding safely in a controlled environment and receive the certificate that may waive the DMV riding skill test. Our friendly basic riding course was designed for people with zero experience on a motorcycle. We provide motorcycles and helmets for you to learn with.

For Experienced Riders

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!


"Fantastic. Option of classroom study online before the training so the field days are all riding. Zach was a great instructor. Use them for your license training!"

"Chris is an amazing teacher and really customizes his instruction to your specific needs. I learned so much in the first class, and I will be continuing my education with them so that I can be the best rider possible. Would highly recommend to anyone at any skill set!"

"Fantastic class. I thought I knew about riding a motorcycle. I learned so much more. I highly recommend taking this class. The instructor takes his time with each student to ensure you understand. Well worth the money."

"This was my second experience with Pacific Motorcycle Training. Both classes were conducted with the highest level of professionalism and care for each student. I noticed that every member of this most recent class signed up for a followup class. I would highly recommend this outfit for motorcycle training on all levels. As they said the class, these skills are perishable and require on-going practice and re-learning to maintain."

"Truly my "ride or die" cycling course. From the moment I signed up for the beginner's course at Pacific Motorcycle Training, I was met with professionalism and enthusiasm. The quality of the instruction I received was outstanding; my instructor demonstrated extensive knowledge and a passion for riding that was truly infectious. Each lesson was clear, concise, and built confidence as well as skill. I was impressed by the meticulous attention to safety and the way the instructors emphasized its importance throughout the training..."

"I had an excellent experience during the CMSP basic course with Pacific Motorcycle Training in the Monterey/Salinas area. I have been a passenger on a motorcycle before, but had never rode one by myself. The instructors for our course, Dillon and Chris, were enthusiastic, cared for our safety, and made everyone feel welcome regardless of experience level. They made me even more excited to begin my journey as a motorcycle rider."
