15. SIGNIFICANT INTEREST Population, Age, Training, Alcohol, PPE,
Unknown total motorcycle operator population
Average age was 27 for Class A & C mishaps
Average since last known training to mishap was 3.2 years for both Class A & C mishaps
41% unknown training, no data on length of wait for training
No QA of current training courses
No/limited PPE use in numerous Class C mishaps
Alcohol listed in 3 Class A’s. Greater frequency of alcohol use in Class C mishaps
- A few inputs on graphics, illustrations, etc.
-- First, everybody loves a picture, especially of a mishap scene, a broken wing, or some other “piece of evidence.” However, only use them if they contribute substantially to the content of your briefing. And do not over-do it!
-- Try to use high quality stuff (JPEG, GIF, etc) but remember that graphics are very memory-intensive and may bog down your brief.
-- Throughout this template, there are several “good” examples of how to use pictures, images, and other stuff to accentuate your briefing.
-- Avoid stock clipart-type graphics. Use actual photos of the mishap, evidence, or other actual images when possible. Images of darts or light bulbs don’t tend to meet muster.
-- And please, use common sense when displaying actual photos from the crash scene (i.e. practice good judgement, avoid excessive gore).

16. RECOMMENDATIONS Population
Coordinate through Pass & Id total motorcycles registered on base, semi-annually through host SEG
Coordinate with unit’s to enroll members into sport bike program
Training: Life-long learning, supplemental material
Initial, MSF Basic Rider Course
Refresher, MSF License Waiver Course (ERC suite)
Recurring for all motorcyclists
0, 18, 36, 72 month cycle.
Sport bike, 36 months after refresher
All motorcyclists, 72 month cycle
12 month window for scheduling (6 prior, 6 post)

17. RECOMMENDATIONS PPE already covered in existing courses
Alcohol awareness is already covered in existing courses
Toolbox for motorcyclists’
ORM self assessment for individual to asses risk level, and what can be altered to lower risk

Must not appear to be directed from AMC/SE
SE merely facilitates recommendations by those in motorcycle rider training
Fund a Rider Coach Trainer (RCT) to accomplish the following
Serves as example for others
QA installations and Rider Coaches during a class
Track number members trained, cost, accidents
Assists in investigating PMV2 Class A mishaps
Hold bi-annual Rider Coach learning centers

20. RECOMMENDATIONS Sport Bike Proficiency program
Enrolled through unit MSR
Type training, date trained,
Next training due and date
Provide handbook from host SE
Complete initial, refresher, recurring training.
Recurring at 36 month interval
Substitute another course at members expense
