NEW UPDATE, 06/10/20, I have been notified again for the recovery of the 2nd bike, the Suzuki DRZ400SM. Back in my possession, woohoo. Not too often you hear of this happening, so I am ecstatic about this. It even got a fresh paint job, lol. UPDATE 12/09/20 I have been notified by the RCMP that they have recovered one of the motorcycles, the red CBR Honda. Thank you to the RCMP for this, doesn't sting as much now. Between the hours of 12am and 345am, the area where I do my t...raining was broken into. They got into my classroom and took a couple helmets, and a laptop, tried to rip the tv off the wall... unsuccessfully. But worst is they got two bikes and some keys for other motorcycles. If you have been thru this then you know how it feels. To be violated, stolen from, when all I am trying to do is make a living, helping others become successful in their riding skills. If anyone has any informaton leading to the recovery of these bikes, any help would be appreciated. Please contact myself or the RCMP, file #2020-32996. Looking for a 2012 Red and silver trim Honda CBR 250cc, cosmetic damage, no abs. The other one is a 2008 Black DRZ 400cc SM, fmf pipes and stickers, and a devil face sticker on the back fender area behind the seat. also has black bark busters over the grips. They both will have sticker residue from their unit numbers, #4 on the CBR, #2 on the DRZ on the front and rear fenders. Security Pictures to come.

Did you know that L and N drivers are not allowed to use electronic devices at all, even hands-free? That includes streaming music, using maps or GPS. When youre behind the wheel, #LeaveYourPhoneAlone http://ow.ly/Hpco50Bmj1C

Count down to toy run! Oh yeah. 18 days and counting

Could you make it through without hitting a cone?

Just a reminder to be safe out there. Lots of crashes on the island. https://public.tableau.com/profile/icbc#!/vizhome/BC-CrashesinvolvingMotorcycles_0/MotorcycleDashboard

*PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT* If you see a motorcyclist moving from left to center to right in the same lane....they're not drunk or high. They are finding the best position to ride in based on many circumstances that constantly change. That manhole cover? That oil spot? That small puddle? That asphalt repair patch? The grass somebody mowed out into the street? Those things mean nothing to you in a car or truck but can be a life threatening hazard to a motorcyclist. And they... are putting themselves in the most visible position to the cars around them, which changes! When a motorcyclist suddenly speeds up, goes past you and then slows down? They're not signaling that they want to race you...they're trying to stay out of your blind spot. I know there are some motorcyclists who ride like idiots (just as there are idiots in cars and trucks). They're out there and they make others look bad. But one thing we all want is to make it home alive. Vehicles are much bigger than motorcycles. Please keep that in mind. And please PUT YOUR PHONE DOWN and LOOK more than once. P.S. Please USE YOUR TURN SIGNALS for lane changes and turns! Please share

May is Motorcycle Awareness Month, be safe out there, look twice, save your life. Come and learn the Right way, with a high level of safety knowledge, giving you the confidence to ride safely. Classes are still rolling along with the COVID-19 outbreak, and students can currently still hand in the Certification Form at ICBC. This will have their Class 6 Learners updated after taking our ICBC certified approved course, to remove their first 2 restrictions.

ICBC has announced they will start Limited Knowledge testing and Skills testing for Class 6, as early as May 11th, by appointment only. A step forward Icbc.com

Please watch CTV Vancouver Island News tonight. I'll be on there doing a piece on Motorcycle awareness.

With ICBC not testing at this time, know that I can still test you for the Skills Test at the end of the course. I would like to ensure everyone that is thinking of training, that I am still running courses weekly. Social distancing will be enforced, and class sizes will be limited. I am asking any current students, if you feel any possible symptoms to please reschedule any existing appointments.... Be safe, ride hard, live free.

Happy St. Patrick's Day. Lucky to be alive, Lucky to have such a loving wife, kids, family and friends I wish you all a happy day, stay calm, be at peace and enjoy the world.

Fyi, ICBC has cancelled all Road Testing until further notice. Go to ICBC.com for any information regarding your test. ... Classes are continuing for now. I have been cleaning and trying to ensure there will be no issues. Be safe out there everyone and wash your hands
