Compared to a car, you don’t sit in a motorcycle, you become part of it. Not as a passive driver, but as an active rider arcing into a string of smooth corners, playing along with the rhythm of the road; shifting, accelerating, and braking with precision. Whether you ride to and from work or prefer you, and supports the concept that, the camaraderie of a group ride on the as the Motorcycle Safety Foundation weekend, motorcycling engages all your says, “Safe riding depends as much senses and creates an invigorating sense on the mental skills of awareness and of freedom. judgment as it does on a physical skill of Along with that freedom comes maneuvering the machine.” responsibility.

PREPARING TO RIDE 5 What you do before you start a trip goes a long way toward determining whether or not you’ll get where you want to go safely. Before taking off on any trip, a safe rider makes a point to: 1� Wear the right gear� 2� Become familiar with the motorcycle� 3� Check the motorcycle equipment� 4� Be a responsible rider� WEAR THE RIGHT GEAR a helmet kept a rider from spotting danger.

  • Rider Education Recognition Program (RERP) Sponsors, Administrators and Motorcyclist Safety Training Community Members
    TO: All Rider Education Recognition Program (RERP) Sponsors, Administrators and Motorcyclist Safety Training Community Members FROM: Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) DATE: May 1, 2020 RE: MSF Interim Recommendations for MSF Basic RiderCourse and 3-Wheel Basic RiderCourse Training, Level II Classroom This is an update to MSF’s previous March 12 & March 17 guidance memos regarding motorcyclist safety training during the COVID-19 emergency. MSF’s ultimate goal is, and will always be, the safety and well-being of motorcyclists. During the COVID-19 emergency, that has meant protecting RiderCourse students and RiderCoaches by recommending the suspension of motorcycle rider safety training. MSF continues to recommend a suspension of motorcyclist safety training activities. We are extending our “no training” recommendation through May 15, 2020. By staying home a while longer, we are following best available guidance, and supporting the life-saving work of medical responders across the country. At the same time, we are looking ahead. When the time is right to resume training activities, we recognize that it will not suddenly become “business as usual.” Things will be different, and will remain that way for some time. Different parts of the country will be ready at different times. As of the end of April, MSF is aware of ongoing training activities in a small number of states. In response to requests from programs that have chosen to proceed with in-person rider training and education, MSF has developed the attached recommendations for interim MSF Basic RiderCourse and MSF 3-Wheel Basic RiderCourse training. For training sites and sponsors that elect to continue or resume training, RERP and curriculum standards are unchanged.

    Motorcycle Safety The Colorado Department of Transportation November 2006 Facts from NHTSA Motorcycles are more likely to be involved in a fatal collision with a fixed object than are other vehicles Helmets are estimated to be 29% effective in preventing fatal injuries and 67% effective in preventing brain injuries While 20% of passenger vehicle crashes result in injury or death, an astounding 80% of motorcycle crashes result in injury or death Facts from NHTSA Motorcyclist fatalities have increased each year since reaching an historic low of 2,116 fatalities in 1997. In 2001, 3,181 motorcyclists were killed, an increase of over 50% between 1997 and 2001. Without this increase, overall highway fatalities would have experienced a marked reduction of about 2.5% over this same time period.

  • U.S. Military M1030 Motorcycle Restoration Story
    U.S. Military M1030 Motorcycle Restoration Story By Allen Foley Part 1 Background Part 2 The Search Part 3 Mechanical Part 4 Electrical Part 5 Paint Part 6 Reassembly Part 7 Completion Part 1 - Background Like most of us we love mechanical things. At age seven I learned how to drive on 1955 Ford tractor during the summers spent on the family farm. As a young teen in the late 1960’s my dream was to buy a Rupp mini bike. But this dream turned into the classic case of “champagne tastes on a beer budget”. Then at age thirteen a neighbor was getting rid of a Bridgestone 90cc motorcycle. It didn’t run but was only $25. After getting it home and making some repairs and I was “Born to Be Wild”, (not really). That started my love of cars, trucks and motorcycles which still exists today. Over the years I have owned many rare, classic or show cars. I eventually gravitated to primarily collecting military vehicles. While military vehicles are fun, I got the urge to own a military two wheeler. Around the year 2005 there was a military Harley Davidson 45 WLA for sale listed in the local Craigslist. The seller had turned into a bobber and painted it flat black. I purchased it and restored it back to WWII specifications. The bike ran good, was easy to start but it really felt uncomfortable while riding. Between the suicide shift, so-so brakes, too much engine heat and the potential of coil overheating problems, it was time to “Let Go”.
