Fantastic experience: I’ve been riding dirt bikes and ATVs for almost 2 decades, but riding on the street is a whole new world. This class and experience made the transition to the street seamless. The entire CMSP team does a fantastic job in teaching the skills needed to be as safe as possible on the road.
Fantastic experience: Instructors were very helpful and thorough!
Fantastic experience: 100% recommended Awesome instructors & a great program! Thank you!!
Fantastic experience: Pacific Motorcycle Training instructor Evie was so thorough and she got all of us "first time on a motorcycle" riders in our small class of 6 to learn how to start and ride with basic skills literally in the first 2 hours of class. None of us ever fell and all of us passed our tests. I am grateful and happy I got to learn with PMT and I will always remember my first time riding! The course was always safe not to hard or easy and I had so much fun learning. I highly recommend!!
Fantastic experience: That was an intense learning experience but I am so proud of myself for doing it. I have always wanted to learn how to ride and Evie and the rest of the team made it as easy and relaxed and as fun as possible. I went from afraid to even sit on a motorcycle to confident I can ride any. That huge transformation in just a weekend. It's work and effort, you have to pay attention, you have to try, you have to trust yourself, but it's worth it. I'm writing this review the day after passing and my entire body is sore, I'm exhausted, I'm fried, everything hurts, but I'm limping with pride. I can't wait to start shopping for bikes!
Fantastic experience: Randy and Jeremiah where amazing instructors they gave clear direction, demonstrations where clear and were able to understand what we had to do, safety was there top priority and followed proper safety measures to keep everyone safe.

Fantastic experience: Great learning experience. Instructors (Rogge) and Jeremiah were patient, clear and thorough.

I highly recommend to any folks thinking about getting in a bike, to secure a solid foundation with these folks!
Fantastic experience: Thoroughly and with patience, both the instructors helped me to get out of my old habit to learn the right one for riding in the States. They made the learning experience easier through on ground showcase of how to do it. Completely structured and well planned. Instructions ver clear and in detail. Overall, great job on their side
Fantastic experience: Both instructors were great. Evie and Tony had lots of patience with the new riders
Fantastic experience: Enjoyed the experience for the most part. Difficulty hearing the instructions at times due to wearing a helmet, the motorcycle and the nearby freeway traffic.
Fantastic experience: Pacific Motorcycle Training is great! Easy sign up for a class. Zoom for the classroom portion had interesting teachers and was very efficient. Their goal of helping everyone learn to be safe was first and foremost and their love of riding was evident as well. The course training, on the bike, was perfect. They teach a skill then have students practice, building proficiency with each one. The teachers give feedback so you can work on improving on each try. It was a lot of fun and I have so much more confidence about getting on the street to ride now. Thanks. Well done!
Fantastic experience: Did better than I thought I would do and with their help and training I’ll get a chance to get my M Class license if you follow their instructions you’ll get completely Comfortable riding a bike asp
Fantastic experience: Evie was an AMAZING instructor! She has the right combination of feedback and encouragement to make students succeed.
Fantastic experience: I have been riding for 46 years. The PMT staff are exceptional and the class and course structure is also exceptionally planned out that benefits the student. The riding portions is where I learned how to correct all my bad riding habits, which could have saved my life if I encountered a hazard situation with my bad riding habits. Highly recommend this training to new and to experienced riders!
Fantastic experience: Excellent instructors that really showed an interest in improving our skills as riders. Would definitely reccomend to riders looking to improve! Plus Laguna Seca was a blast!
Fantastic experience: The instructors go above and beyond with their techniques of teaching. I plan to take more classes.
Fantastic experience: I had lots of fun and learnt a lot in the Advance Motorcycle Class. And I have taken both the beginners and intermediate classes with Pacific and they are awesome!! I highly recommend them.
Fantastic experience: Had a great time learning the fundamentals! Tony and Evie did a fantastic job being patient and making sure to nail down the important bits of practical riding. If I were to consider a school for additional training, PMT will certainly be my first choice.
Fantastic experience: The course is really good and the the instructors are amazing. Despite being a rider over a number of years now, I learnt a lot of useful things to help increase my safety on the roads. Highly recommend this course to everyone who is planning to ride in the future.

Fantastic experience: Instructors where really helpful, the class was also really fun. Highly recommend class to anyone who's trying to get there motorcycle license.
Fantastic experience: Good instructors, helped me become more confident on learning how to ride a motorcycle.
Fantastic experience: No prior experience needed
Fantastic experience: Never been on a bike prior to taking this class. Instructors are great at what they do, they explained everything in detail and made the whole experience fun. 10/10 would highly take this course if you’re on the fence about it.
Fantastic experience: Both Prima and Tony were amazing instructors and made the whole process easy.
Fantastic experience: Very useful classes, instructors very helpful
Fantastic experience: This class was excellent! I’ve learned a lot but have also gained some experience. I have never been on a motorcycle before and this class helps you build motivation to learn and also it was fun at the same time! I highly recommend this class to everyone! Thank you guys for the knowledge and experience!
Fantastic experience: 100% recommended
Fantastic experience: My experience with My instructors was very stress free and informative. I’ve never drove a car with a clutch this was my first time on a bike I think for my first time ever I did pretty well.I passed I’m proud of myself. Thank you so much
Fantastic experience: I was scared at first but I got over it. The purpose of being in the class is to learn and be safe as a rider. The instructors Tony and Tex made it comfortable, fun and easy for everyone to learn. They gave feed back that made me feel confident to keep trying hard. I would recommend this company to everyone that wants to learn how to ride a motorcycle safely.
Fantastic experience: I have ridden dirt bikes in the past but not recently, I got my permit by taking the written test at the DMV. Riding on the road is quite different from riding on dirt/gravel tracks and paths and requires different speeds, knowledge and techniques. After a few weeks of riding on the road I decided I would take the basic course to learn some new skills and hone old ones, also because you don't know what you don't know unless you get some professional instruction. The course was thorough and very good, the instructors were excellent. I saw people who had never ridden a bike or even a vehicle with a clutch progress and pass. I learned new skills to make me a safer and more rounded rider. If you have some riding experience I would still recommend taking this course, the first few hours on the range may be boring for you, but after that there are certain skills that you practice that could save your life. Counter steering, swerving, emergency braking, and low speed tight maneuvers to name a few. If you are a new rider this course is essential. In short, highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: Committed to excellence. Highly recommend!!
Fantastic experience: Had a really great time and learned so much the instructors are more than helpful
Fantastic experience: Greta instructors, super friendly and informative class!
Fantastic experience: Overall the novice motorcycle course instruction and skills gained were definitely worth it! I went from 0 motorcycle knowledgeable, to feeling fairly confident on a bike after the course. Tex and Jeremiah were very knowledgeable and helpful during the physical motorcycle training. They continually maintained a positive attitude as they were training. Just be prepared that online/physical classes may go over by up to an hour, so don't plan something immediately following.
Fantastic experience: Tex, Tim, Jeremiah, Tony did well in making sure we were educated, informed & as well as skilled to be safe enough to practice our crafts comfortably on the roads! Appreciate the team!
Fantastic experience: Tex was supper nice and very patient definitely going to do the intermediate training in a few months.
Fantastic experience: Tex is a Competent and polished instructor. The information is plentiful but still digestible. Range time is a blast. Highly recommend the basic safety course.
Fantastic experience: The instructors were all professional and took there time explaining and answering questions. I recommend this class for entry or experienced level motorist. Thank you Rex and Tex for your step by step instructions and taking the time to answer any questions or concerns a student had.
Fantastic experience: I did the basic motorcycle course in Salinas. All the coaches knew their stuff, kept the class on track, and finished on time. I feel 500% more comfortable on a bike after taking the class. Special shout-out to Tex Long, who was exceptional!
Fantastic experience: I LIKED THE CLASS. I LEARNED A LOT. THE INSTRUCTORS WERE GOOD. I THINK TEX DID A GREAT JOB.
Fantastic experience: Awesome experience to re-learn riding again after 10 years (last rode 2011 in the Philippines). Their inputs were all usefull and made me realize there's a lot of things I didn't know about safety and manuevering. Instructors were very knowledgeable and really patient with us. They made sure we can pass the skills test and the written part by pushing us to do our best. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND TAKING THIS CLASS INSTEAD OF JUST JUMPING INTO AN MC LEARNING IT YOURSELF - THEY'LL CORRECT YOUR BAD HABITS! Thanks Tim, Tony, Tex(?), and Avie and the cool-looking written test proctor. I was in the AM riding class January 29 & 30 at Northridge Mall, Salinas.
Fantastic experience: Went in there knowing nothing about riding and left knowing how to safely and properly ride a motorcycle. Tex ,Tony, and Evie are very professional and patient when it comes to teaching. I learned a lot from them and also from the gentleman teaching the class which I believe his name is Rob. Highly recommend this place.
Fantastic experience: The experience with PMT was great. The instructors are patient and friendly. They are very knowledgeable and encouraging. They definitely show you how to be safe rider out on the road. I will recommend their classes to anyone who’s interested in getting into the fun world of motorcycle riding. I completed my safety course on 1/16/2022.
Fantastic experience: This is Julie Conrad- Tex, Ray and Tony were very patient and knowledgeable. They helped me learn the mechanics of the clutch, throttle and brakes. I look forward to leaning more. Thanks!
Fantastic experience: The instructors emphasize that riding safely is truly fun, having accidents is not fun. My instructors shared their love to ride, and how they ride safely. The fact that it can and should be done safely will rub off on you, as that is their message.
Fantastic experience: Great course with great instructors!! They were super patient and explained how to ride in a way VERY easy to understand!! Our whole group were first time riders, and by the end of the course we could all navigate obstacles with speed and accuracy! SO MUCH FUN!! I’m anxious by nature, but the instructors are very personable and have great energy! 10 out of 5 great experience!! Special thank you to Evie, Payma, and TEX!!!
Fantastic experience: Tex and Tony were both exceptional instructors. You can tell they love what they do and genuinely want everyone to succeed. There were riders of all skill level in my class and they provided feedback and encouragement to every rider to help improve their skills. There were riders that had never ridden a bike and by the end they all rode with confidence. Highly recommend this course for all riders that have not taken a CMSP course. Lots of great information and training/practice drills to improve skills and promote confidence.
Fantastic experience: Wish I would had taken this course earlier In my riding career. Instructors were extremely knowledgeable and supportive. Will be returning for the more advance courses.
Fantastic experience: Pacific motorcycle training was excellent on all fronts. Not only were the classes well structured but every single teacher was enthusiastic about what they do. Even working with 4 different people(two on zoom and the same two while riding) each one was beyond helpful and encouraging. My nerves were through the roof on the first day of riding. but as we went through the process(even through my newbie mistakes) the instructors were patient ,understanding , and help guide me to the next level from where I was at.I would recommend this course to anybody interested In learning or improving their riding skills. As I move forward with my own riding I hope to return to learn even more from this great program.thank you guys for everything!
Fantastic experience: Everyone on this team is completely committed to ensuring your safety and success. Starting from the initial process of getting signed up to take the class to the instructors and the administrative support team, this was by far an experience that exceeded all of my expectations.

Fantastic experience: I took the beginner course. It was a fun, informative experience! I loved my instructors, Tex, Tony, and ?Jeff?. They were all very enthusiastic and really helped me learn how to ride in a safe way. I would definitely recommend this to anyone interested in riding motorcycles.

Fantastic experience: This was an amazing experience. Highly recommend course. All the trainers were excellent and friendly. I had a fun time. Cy is the guy!
Fantastic experience: CY and all the guys were great. Very knowledgeable and friendly. I actually felt like they cared about helping to make sure we all understood everything they were teaching us. I’d definitely recommend this class for anyone wanting to learn how to ride safely.
Fantastic experience: Get taught by expert riders that are patient, fun and always make everyone feel comfortable .I really had fun learning the basics of riding. I feel more safe and comfortable on the motorcycle
Fantastic experience: All of the instructors were really amazing they gave really good they gave really good criticism and helped correct our mistakes and the classroom gave very good information I'm very proud that I chose this school I recommend this school to anyone my wife and nephew and brother will be going next
Fantastic experience: GREAT CLASS! I have been riding motorcycle for 35+ years. I am amazed at how much new information AND the skills I gained in this course. The classroom portion contained some great and sobering info. The data on injuries and the benefits of protective gear were truly motivating. Even after riding all these years, the riding training really surprised me with how much I did not know. Cy is one of the best teachers I have ever worked with, in any field. He truly wants students to get it. He watches and gives correction and advise to each and every student. He is really committed to students leaving the class with strong skills. I highly recommend this class, certainly for new riders, and if you are an experienced rider, go surprise your self. It will make you a much BETTER and SAFER rider. Good luck and ride on!
Fantastic experience: All the instructors were great, passionate about riding, and really cared about teaching as much as possible. Huge focus on safety and skills. I feel very prepared to ride on the street after taking this class.
Fantastic experience: It was an excellent experience, all the instructors did everything they could to make you feel comfortable.I’ve ridden motorcycles pretty much all my life and I learned quite a few things I didn’t know.I’m sure in the future I will take more courses and would highly recommend Pacific Motorcycle Training.
Fantastic experience: Had an amazing time the instructors were awesome and very informative and detailed
Fantastic experience: I took the class for the benefit of only having to sacrifice a single day rather than 2. I'm a single dad with a limited schedule and this helped. The instructor was very knowledgeable and able to convey information easily. The ability to be in the classroom and then go straight out to the bikes for application worked REALLY well for me. I'm very much a hands on learner so this worked. I will honestly say that I witnessed each of the other 5 riders come in at a skill level and leave riding better. It was truly remarkable to watch. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS CLASS FOR ALL LEVELS OF RIDERS. NEVER A BAD IDEA ON FRESHENING THOSE SKILLS!!!
Positive experience: Took the class in Salinas. Instructors were great. They were clear in their instructions and honed in with specific corrections for each student. Only negative at the class was the noise from Highway 1 and I observed one student struggling with gears throughout the first day and it was realized that the bike needed repair on the second day. After you pass the course they hang on to your certificate unless you pay a fee to expedite it. This is unnecessary and dissatisfying. I take a lot of courses that have to meet stare requirements, audits, etc. I've never had anyone hang onto a certificate this long. Would rate them higher if not for this.
Fantastic experience: I took this course and I had a very good experience. I learned a lot of things that i didn’t know that are very helpful! I’d recommend it a lot if you’re interested in driving a motorcycle and learning more about safety.
Fantastic experience: Great instructors. They were firm, helpful, and clear. This was my first time on a motorcycle with more than 50CCs and my first time riding in at least 9 years but the instructors and the other students made me feel confident and excited to ride. I had a lot of fun and absolutely recommend taking the rider courses. I myself just registered to take the intermediate course later this year!
Fantastic experience: Earl and Ofir are excellent instructors. They were: enthusiastic, knowledgeable, patient, articulate in explanations, friendly, and professional. Also they were humble and not haughty, they were involved and not isolated or show disinterest. Truly superb quality folks. I took the basic class a few months ago (which was also fantastic), and this intermediate class was even better. The combination of the instructors’ abilities and my willingness to TRUST them and my bike, resulted in me making significant strides in control and maneuvers in low speed and higher speeds. I gained much confidence after this invaluable course, and would highly recommend this to others. I would want Ofir and Earl to be my instructors again as I plan on pursuing the advanced class in the future. WELL DONE.
Fantastic experience: Took this course with my dad no knowledge on riding a motorcycle. They are great !! I can say now I can ride a motorcycle I would 100% recommend to anyone interested in learning!!! Teachers are great they take there time with you make the learning process fun not stressful and they are patient patient with you.
Fantastic experience: Fun easy program to learn safety riding,by the time I left I was not only knowledgeable in riding but also in motorcycle situations to avoid or how to get around a potential hazard.The instructors were amazing and tony was very helpful and I appreciate him for starting me on my road to be a safe expert rider.
Fantastic experience: I was apart of the AM class and both days the instructors were energetic and intentional. They were very clear with all their instructions and patient with all different-leveled-riders.
Fantastic experience: I came here knowing very little about riding a motorcycle and finished the course feeling more confident and at ease about riding. They can teach you all the basics for getting around on a motorcycle over a short weekend and still continue to make it fun and engaging. Definitely recommend Pacific Motorcycle Training for anyone looking to learn how to ride a motorcycle confidently!
Fantastic experience: I had Tony, Primo and Tex as my instructors and they were all amazing!!! They gave me confidence that riding a bike can be easy. They were nice about the mistakes and just told me how to correct we were all beginners and they knew that!!
Fantastic experience: Great instructors! Course content and on-bike exercises were just what needed.
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience. There was ample time on the motorcycle for practical experience with overall excellent instruction. However, there were some of the exercises or drills that or a little difficult to understand. What I thought the exercise was and what it actually was, a couple times were different. That was especially true for the turn drills.The instructors walked the path, not just demonstrated on the motorcycle, which brought clarity for me. Our instructors were flexible, responsible, respectful, supportive and able to effectively transmit their enthusiasm as well as knowledge. I highly recommend this course. I look forward to taking the intermediate course in the future.
Fantastic experience: I had an amazing experience. The instructors were so good, kind and caters to each one by identifying the strengths and areas to work on. I would recommend the program to anyone who is desiring a motorcycle license.
Fantastic experience: What an incredible experience ! Ray is a character, funny and laid back for the online zoom portion. And Psy and Mica (forgive my spelling on names) were great instructors explanation and the whole nine yards. i was nervous going in but now much more confident on the mechanics of a motorcycle and the art of riding.Im ready to sharpen my skills cause I've got a lot more to learn. much appreciated! -Paul M
Fantastic experience: As a beginner rider with about 6 months of novice experience under my belt, I anticipated not learning a whole lot. I couldn't have been more wrong. The class was absolutely invaluable and anyone who intends to ride motorcycles on or off the street should take at least the introductory/beginner class. Great experience!
Fantastic experience: Wonderful instructors and very knowledgeable, taking the time to teach all the course step by step, Kudos.
Positive experience: Had an excellent trainer, small groups made it possible to practice longer, the only complaint is that I wish they had some lowered Honda Groms for the women, it’s less intimidating with smaller bikes.
Fantastic experience: The instructor was very knowledgeable and professional. I was very nervous about riding but now I feel confident in my ability!
Fantastic experience: Instructor Colleen was the best instructor! Made everybody feel comfortable, willing to answer any questions, and was very happy to help! Showed nothing but Patience and was always asking if we had any questions. Very great course!!!
Fantastic experience: Excellent instructors!!! always answered all of our questions, if you live by the bay area and what to start riding a motocycle definelty the place to go!!
