Elevate the Ride & Expand Your Possibilities

Welcome to Pacific Motorcycle Training, the top school in the San Jose/South Bay area, where riders can take their motorcycle riding to a new level. Take in some new techniques, experience professional coaching and stretch yourself in an experience that will help you fine tune your skills and follow your path to mastery. At our San Jose site we offer both intermediate and advanced course for licensed riders.

Total Control® Intermediate Riding Clinic

Developed by Total Control Training, the Intermediate Riding Clinic is the perfect next step for newer riders who are looking to improve their skills as well as riders that have recently returned to riding after years off. This course includes both classroom and on-cycle instruction. The IRC is based on the most current research in rider safety, utilizes modern training methods and has been proven to enhance student outcomes. (This is not a licensing course —you must have your M-1 to participate in the IRC at the San Jose location. For the Intermediate Riding Clinic / CMSP 1-Day Premier Course with licensing option, please see our class offerings in Livermore and Salinas.)

Total Control® Advanced Riding Clinic

Whether you want to become a more proficient and safer rider on the street—or a faster rider on the track—mastering advanced riding techniques is crucial and should not be postponed until it is too late. Unfortunately, most advanced riding courses in the country are only offered in high-speed racetrack environments. The fear of crashing at high speeds and the pressure of other riders flying by are too intimidating to most motorcyclists so they never take this important step forward. During our Advanced Riding Clinics, every drill is performed one at a time, and at street-legal speeds, in a controlled environment. After each run, you will receive professional, concise coaching on the specific skills you need to work on to transform your riding. From cruisers to sportbikes, all types of motorcycles and riding styles are welcome to attend. This course is based on Lee Parks' best selling book Total Control: High Performance Street Riding Techniques.

We welcome all San Jose residents as well as future riders from neighboring towns such as Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, Cupertino, Fremont, Morgan Hill, and more. Become a better rider and have fun with us!

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!


"10/10 - I HIGHLY recommend them. This group is incredibly knowledgeable, and care deeply about the training they provide. I cannot recommend this organization any more highly. Erin(1), Erin(2), Steve, and Dillon were all PHENOMENAL instructors!!"

"I am a complete beginner when it comes to bikes. But if I knew there was a class out there like PMT, I would have jumped on a bike a long time ago. All of the instructors are incredible. They make the classes enjoyable and comfortable while maintaining structure and delivering a wealth of knowledge. It seems like they have all been in the game for a while. The tall Craig was absolutely awesome. I wanted to go have a beer with him or something! The rest of the students in my class were great and we bounced a lot of ideas off each other. If you are at all interested in learning to ride, just go with PMT."
