Who Is Start Right Motorcycle Training

I, Michael Hohn, am a Certified Instructor, Registered with ICBC. Bonded & Insured. I have lived in the Nanaimo area for over 30 years and my love for riding has taken me to new places, made new friends and has now brought me to this point. I look forward to sharing my passion in the Joy of Riding a Motorcycle. I am committed to ensuring that you get the best possible training here at SRMT. It is my goal to help you Start your own riding experience in a safe, relaxed & friendly learning environment.

Start Right is an ICBC Certified Motorcycle Skills Assessment School. Why wait to go to ICBC to do your Skills Test? We don’t just run you through the Skills test to practice all weekend, we teach you the skills you need to safely operate a motorcycle on all roadways, all at one convenient location. We do the Assessment with you at the end of the training, getting you on the road with No Supervisor or Speed Restrictions as early as 14/30 days after passing your knowledge test. After successful completion of the skills assessment, 2 of 4 restrictions will be lifted. We can do your training and testing for the skills before your earliest skills test date it says on your learners license. On said date you hand in a certification form to ICBC to have your restrictions lifted, or within 90 days.

Have you heard the news?? BIG changes are coming next spring 2026!!! They may be instituting the Motorcycle Learners Program. What does this mean? Right now it is a 1 year learners license for a fully licensed class 5 licensee. 2 week wait to do your skills test at ICBC, and then minimum 2 weeks to do your road test. (If you are a 8L, 2 year Learners permit, its 30 days for the skills test and after skills is done, 1 year minimum to do road test)

It may become a 3 year learners license, MLP. This will be similar to the GLP for class 5. It will be a minimum 9 months to wait to do your skills test at ICBC, and then 18 month minimum wait to do your road test. This time will be reduced to 6 months to do the skills test and then 12 month wait to do the road test IF you have done training at a certified school. There will also be a minimum mandatory gear requirements for all riders in the MLP. I am hoping to still be able to train and test before earliest skills test date on your learners permit, probably will be within 3 months before test date on your permit.
