GA-D Participants Practice Skills

On April 18, 2009, Tommy Martin, with the assisatance of Chuck Reed (Region A Rider Educator), Dave Andrade, and Bill Hatfield, cuducted a 'Parking Lot Practice' for the Participants of Chapter GA-D. In addition to learning and/or practicing riding skills, great weather was enjoyed for all those that participated

Tommy is currently in process of certifying facilitators throughout the State. By having facilitators around the State, sanctioned PLPs will be more readily available to Chapter's that desire this training.

If your Chapter is in need of a PLP, don't hesitate to contact Tommy. His contact information is available on our Staff Page.

What is the Rider Education Program?

The GWRRA Rider Education Program (REP) is intended to make the motorcycle environment safer by reducing injuries and fatalities and increasing motorcyclist skills and awareness.  The REP does not propose to have all the answers.  However, our close-working relationship with the Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF), as well as additional GWRRA programs and studies, has provided a wealth of information for use in establishing a comprehensive Rider Education Program.  Through Commitment, Education and Application, we can reduce our accident rate significantly. Listed below are several benefits of a fully implemented GWRRA Rider Education Program at the Chapter level:

Increased rider knowledge

Increased rider safety skills

Prevention of accidents

Reduced injuries

Reduced fatalities

Improved general public image of motorcyclists

Enhanced enjoyment of motorcycle riding

 The motorcycle community is already realizing many positive benefits from the GWRRA Rider Education Program.  Through the efforts of the Rider Education Officers and participation of the membership and others, we will reach our goal of establishing the safest motorcycle environment possible.
