    Just finished my motorcycle training class (June 2025 - Santa Rosa) and I couldn't be happier…read more To start, the enrollment/registration process couldn't be any easier. Once you get your dates, everything can be done online. NorCal Moto does an excellent job in keeping you informed with emails, materials and requirements. You're in great hands with Cynthia Gutierrez because she is incredibly responsive and helpful. The training class has gear requirements for your own safety, so please follow their guidelines. It truly is not about inconvenience but it's to ensure that you are riding safely and to protect from unnecessary injuries. The class reading materials and quizzes are very helpful and the scores are part of your success. That data on motorcycle riding is very serious as you will discover. This also applies in the riding portion of your class, especially for beginners. I have previous riding experience, but this class forces you to think/process more critically to avoid bad habits. We all need practice as your skills can diminish over the years. The riding portion of the class is incredibly fun and supportive. Our instructors - Marcelo and Dan - are both passionate in helping you learn. You are going to make mistakes but the coaching is just tremendous. You will experience challenges but that's how you will learn to be (smooth) in your approach. You will learn to be more vigilant as required for real street riding... (BTW - The motorcycles they have are very forgiving and easy to ride in class.) You will have every opportunity to do well if you pay attention. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience as this is a top notch certified training facility. For Marcelo/Dan: "Obrigado!!!"

    This was a great class. It's full of really good information. The instructors (Bob and Ricky) were…read moreboth amazing. Both instructors had great abilities to help with problems areas with each rider. I felt they knew what I was doing wrong and how to correct quickly. Allowing a rider to correct themselves and gain confidence with riding. With each ride my confidence and abilities just grew. By the time Sunday came around I felt I would have no problem passing (maybe??) I highly recommend this class, it was super fun.

    Do it! I received my training here, NEVER ridden a motorbike before. And after the course, I left…read morefeeling that I know enough not to injure myself and others, and even confident enough in my own skills, imagine that! They're fantastic teachers. Gotta give a fair warning though. The bikes are in so-so condition. There's one bike, a blue one, numbered 38, that is a pain in the ass. Do not go for the pretty blue bikes, as we all do, and hence they have the most mileage and need more maintenance. Go for the little or "ugly" Grey ones, those ride well. My first day I got on a grey one. Perfect, I felt like champ. Second field day, I got a blue pretty one, but it kept dying on neutral. I understand I'm the inexperienced one, and that it may have been me who was messing it up, but there was a significant difference between the two bikes. My bf took the class a month before I did, and he also rode a blue bike, which he said was "troublesome." Maybe he was trying to make me feel nice, or maybe that one bike isn't the best to start off with. So, just a fair warning. Anyway, back to the cool stuff: the instructors are awesome! I was fortunate enough to be under the care of: Kenneth Wong, Dale Croy, and Walter Champion. Read the booklet, pay attention in the class setting: look more, push more! And as always: enjoy! COVID update: you must bring your own helmet. (It Agar Defoe them to properly disinfect between users) And one must bring a mask to wear when helmets are not being used. I saw the bikes being disinfected between classes.

    I took this course at the College of San Mateo and had a really great time!…read more As for my riding experience coming into the course, I just had a few years of dirt experience but knew nothing about riding on the street. However, with the classroom training, I was able to begin to get into the mindset of street riding and came to the first in-person class feeling excited and prepared! James and Dale are awesome instructors who make sure you are comfortable doing the exercises and understand their instructions before sending you off to practice. They are always happy to answer any questions you may have and are great guys. Overall, I highly recommend the Norcal Moto Training course and couldn't be happier riding around my new Triumph Bonneville. Thanks!
