 Motorcycle riders listen up. Spring is here and summer is just around the corner. It's time to clean off and tune up the motorcycle that has been hibernating all winter long. Military bases around the globe are preparing for summer by scheduling motorcycle safety courses. The Navy's motorcycle safety campaign aims to prevent motorcycle-related deaths and train sailors in proper riding techniques and the importance of safety gear. Motorcycle safety training is mandatory for all military personnel in accordance with the Navy traffic program. The Basic Riders course is a prerequisite for riding motorcycles on any naval station. Sailors must retake this course every three years. Even the most seasoned rider can overlook minor defects with safety gear or bike maintenance. Remember to always wear your safety gear and practice proper riding habits to stay safe on the road. For online registration, go to navymotorcyclerider.com.
