Idaho STAR Motorcycle Safety Program

05/29/2026

It was a busy week for STAR! Our director, Sunshine Beer, 30-year instructor, Tom Berry, his daughter, Katelyn Berry, and 20-year instructor, Brian Eichler (chairman of the Motorcycle Safety Task Force of Idaho, MSTFI) joined other motorcycle safety professionals for a media event at Carl's Cycle Sales. Media coverage was outstanding, and we always appreciate the opportunity to promote motorcyclist safety.

Sunshine, also an Idaho Traffic Safety Commissioner, participated in a commission meeting yesterday where some truly enlightening presentations were made by EMS and Idaho Office of Highway Safety and Idaho Idaho Transportation Department staff.

Besides offering training courses, Idaho STAR takes other outreach and education efforts seriously. Riders - we're in your corner!
