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!

"The basic riding portion of the course was great for a beginner like me. Had never ridden a motorcycle before in my life, but was taught the foundational skills necessary to safely ride. Evie was a wonderful instructor. Highly recommend."

"Absolutely fantastic training for the newbie!! I was riding a motorcycle by the end of the day- it was fabulous! The teachers, both in the classroom and on the range, are all very experienced (10+years) riders. They stayed calm even when I didn't. The classroom instruction is thorough but not excessive; I would have loved a few more hours on the range since I was SO new. I will definitely be taking more classes with them!"

"I wanted to advance my skills as riding around the Bay Area can be challenging from a safety perspective. I took the intermediate class, advanced class and then the first-ever advanced class and Track Day experience (Sonoma Raceway, six 10-minute track sessions on the technical Karting Track with review and classroom lectures in between) to tie all the newly learned skills together. Excellent learning experience, very attentive staff and the support you receive makes you a better rider..."

"Really enjoyed this 2 day course, gave me a great insight on handling the motorcycle and its limits. Seth and Steve were outstanding instructors on relaying information clear and in detail. I appreciated the demonstration’s that were shown on course material. And the honest observation they bring to your attention. Thank you Seth and Steve for a wonderful weekend with you both."

"Absolutely amazing. Wyatt and Lorenzo are excellent instructors. Gave plenty of breaks and lots of verbal instruction. The bikes are different sizes for many body types and it's a great community effort allowing you to get to know other new riders. I highly recommend."
