potential course Jan 30 2025 if we get enough interest!

2025-Jan-23
We'll be back in full swing mid march, but if you're willing to brave the cold and I get enough people committed, I'll be happy to throw a course together sooner....rain or shine, but we would have to postpone if it gets slippery. Jan 30 - Feb 2 maybe?

Course running January 9, 2025

2024-Dec-29
It would would appear that ICBC is not planning to run any motorcycle testing until Spring of 2025, so We've decided to run a course January 9....Thursday January 9 and Friday January 10 6-10PM for theory, Saturday and Sunday January 11 and 12 all day, times to be discussed in class. We go rain or shine, but slippery may require a delay for the riding days. If you had a trip planned or want to get your MST done, give me a call! 250-619-7201.

Mid winter course

2024-Nov-27
Due to popular demand, we will run an MST safety course December 5, 6, 7, 8.. Weather permitting, we will ride both sat and Sunday rain or shine, but if it's frosty or snow, we will postpone those days. Also, since it's a non scheduled off season, I don't think it's unreasonable to raise the price a little to offset the insurance. 1100 plus gst.

2024 is over...mostly

2024-Oct-08
Sadly, the weather is starting to change, the phone's not ringing like it was, and Santa's packing his sleigh.....The bike insurance has lapsed, so the MST safety courses are done until March of 2024....weather permitting, February??? If you still want to do a traffic course, we can still do that though. 250-619-7201

The MST safety course runs Thursday and Friday evening 6-10PM, and Saturday and Sunday are 9-5PM....sometimes we vary the time we start to accommodate cold mornings or hot afternoons.

Christmas gift certificates

2023-Dec-01
We're going to have to raise the rates from 850 to 900 next year to accommodate extra costs....Hey, we haven't raised our rates in four years....anyway, if you want to take advantage of this years rates, maybe consider buying yourself or your loved one a gift certificate for next year. You MUST have an ICBC issued learners permit before the course, and it's non refundable, but if you're sure you are coming next year, then why not? 250-619-7201

Contact times

2023-Jul-18
If you're trying to call, I won't answer when I'm teaching Thursday evening, Friday evening. I may be able to answer the phone on Saturday or Sunday during the day but obviously the students I'm with have priority. Leave a msg. I'm also pretty exhausted Saturday and Sunday evening, so either leave a message, and I'll get back to you Monday, OR drop me an email....randy @cedarmotorcycle.com. (remove the space) Same though, I'll get back to you when I can. Usually, that's Monday or Tuesday.

Nanaimo Traffic Courses

2023-Jul-18
We now have traffic courses in Nanaimo on WEEKENDS!! Our new instructor Kelly is well versed in Nanaimo's specific difficulties. We also have courses available in Victoria by request.

Traffic courses in VICTORIA

2023-Jul-25
We're excited to welcome our newest instructor Jamie. He's very familiar with the Victoria area, and a very experienced and knowledgeable motorcycle instructor. We provide the Bluetooth communications and coach you as you ride. Many of you may already know Kelly, who's been doing traffic in Nanaimo for a while now. If you're planning to do the road test in Victoria, this three hour ride with Jamie , or the three hours in Nanaimo with Kelly, Randy or Katrina , or Courtenay with Katrina, (plus a coffee stop) will help you immensely not to make obvious mistakes. As they say, ICBC will never "trick" you, but they do take you to some tricky spots that if you're not familiar could cause some confusion.
