one last course again Oct 22 if there is enough interest

2026-Sep-25

Despite a lot of rumours regarding ICBC changing the rules for motorcycle licensing, so far it's just rumours. ICBC has NOT made any official announcements, except to say that changes are coming. People are speculating, but nothing official as of now. That said, before it does change, this would probably be the best time to get it done before the changes make it more difficult. The October 15 class is now full, but We're going to add one more course for October 22 as long as we get at least five names. If you're considering it, get your learners asap and call me...Randy, 250-619-7201. Alternately, send me your name, age, phone and email to randy@cedarmotorcycle.com and send the non refundable registration fee to admin@cedarmotorcycle.com...If it doesn't go, we'll refund of course.

2026 season end last MST course

2026-Sep-14

Katrina and Randy are on a very wet riding vacation in Alberta so I may not answer phone and email right away but if you want to get your MST done this year here's how to sign up for the last course of 2026. Our last course this season is scheduled for October 15th. To sign up send me your name. Age. Phone and email to randy@cedarmotorcycle.com, then send the registration fee to admin@cedarmotorcycle.com of 425 non refundable, then the remaining 467.50 is due Oct 13. Of course if you prefer you can send the full amount of 892.50 all at once. You can try calling me but cell service is spotty.. 250-619-7201

upcoming courses

2026-Apr-17

I can see the end of the riding season approaching fast, but we still have some space for the MST safety course on the September 3 and September 24 weekends. If the phone rings enough, we'll consider running another MST course mid October. In the meantime, we have an experienced rider course scheduled for October 3 and 4...bring your own bike, and prepare to challenge yourself…give me a call!! You MUST have your learners permit before enrolling. We teach as long as the phone is ringing or the "boss" says "We're going camping". If you're married, you'll understand....btw, if we're camping we love company! Give me a call to sign up or ask about the process....250-619-7201 Randy

2026 season start

2026-Jan-24

We have set February 26th weekend as the first course of the year (weather permitting) ...we ride rain or shine but slippery would cause a postpone of the riding portion....then march 15 weekend, and pretty much all weekends after that. Just call and ask...you may be the first one on a course...Don't hesitate to call anytime...you need your learners before you can ride of course...

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

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.

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.
