RMV kicks off safety campaign after Governor Deval Patrick declares Massachusetts Motorcycle Safety Awareness Period from March 24 to April 30, 2008.

The push is on to get motorcycle riders to ride responsibly and drivers to check twice to save a life-two major educational campaigns to reduce motorcycle fatalities and injuries on the Commonwealth's highways and back roads. The RMV's Motorcycle Rider Education Program (MREP) launched the drive last year in response to rising motorcycle deaths.

Current Blog: Spring Forward, But Get Your Wheels Ready

By Gene Carabine, MREP Coordinator

3/28/08

It's in the air. I still feel the cold in the morning, but it doesn't bite quite so deep anymore. I know spring is on the way even without the calendar telling me. And I'm excited. It's time to pull the motorcycle out of the shed and shake off the winter doldrums.

But before hitting the open road again there's one thing I ask myself--am I ready? In what has become a spring ritual as important as turning the clocks forward, I give both my iron steed and the rider in me a thorough inspection.

The Motorcycle Safety Foundation is a good place to start to find a comprehensive check-list to get your motorcycle in top cruising shape. It will increase the life of your machine and ward off breakdowns that could leave you stranded beside the road and exposed to traffic.

My bike's not the only thing that can get rusty over the long winter. Every spring, I also take a realistic look at my ridership skills. Do I need a rider course? If you have never taken a course maybe this is the year to take the Experienced RiderCourse. The course is only half a day and once you pass you can save a limited 10% on your motorcycle insurance. What better way to practice the skills you need and on the motorcycle you ride on our streets.

Last year more than 8,000 riders took a Basic RiderCourse at one of 13 locations around the state. More experienced riders than ever took the advanced course. It's just one weekend of time, but it will help you ride safer on the roads.

Here's another number that may convince you to take a course-51 riders died in crashes last year. If past statistics hold true nearly three quarters of those killed had no motorcycle training. Remember, Rider Responsibility starts with the Rider!
