 Summertime is considered to be a fun time, and for many service members that means putting your motorcycles back on the road. Remember it's important to have the necessary training and equipment to ride safely. All sailors and Marines are required to take the basic motorcycle rider's course and wear gear like helmets and gloves, as well as reflective and protective clothing that are vital to your safety. Risk management still applies when you're on the road, so take the appropriate steps to remain safe. Visit the Navy's motorcycle rider website to register for a safety class near you, or update and review scheduled motorcycle safety training. For more information on motorcycle safety, check out the Naval Safety Center website. From the Defense Media Activity, I'm Petty Officer Jen Blake.
