RESEARCH BACKGROUND
Unable to determine rate• No registration numbers for sport bike operators vs non-
sport bike operators• Motorcyclists first, sport bike operator second
2005, had 6 fatalities• Male, young, same type of motorcycle
Query• Single, Collision
Collision is one or more vehicle, animal, human contacted or caused PMV2 to lose control
Must be clear indication rider was at fault (PMV2 attempting to pass a PMV4 which was passing another PMV4)
• Type of training is broken into BRC, ERC, RSS, Unknown Unknown is no known training, or type training / date
• Mishap location Curve, straight, intersection

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
16Enabling the “Global” in “Global Vigilance, Reach and Power!”
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)
17Enabling the “Global” in “Global Vigilance, Reach and Power!”
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
• Presentations on cornering, braking Tools completed
• ORM rider assessment sheet
• Four-part Cornering presentation
• Braking presentation
• New motorcyclist pamphlet Tools in development
• Observed ride checklist for mentors
• Developed / commercial-off-the-shelf handout
18Enabling the “Global” in “Global Vigilance, Reach and Power!”
RECOMMENDATIONS
Sport bike program has foundation in existing motorcycle training
• Motorcyclist first, sport bike operator second
• Support existing program via funding TDY for Rider Coaches to AMC installations to reduce backlog
Toolbox items completed
• ORM rider assessment sheet
• Four-part Cornering presentation
• Braking presentation
• New motorcyclist pamphlet Toolbox items in development
• Observed ride checklist for mentors
• Developed / commercial-off-the-shelf handout
19Enabling the “Global” in “Global Vigilance, Reach and Power!”
RECOMMENDATIONS
Need to make motorcyclists WANT to do the program
• 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
20Enabling the “Global” in “Global Vigilance, Reach and Power!”
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
