Air Force Advises Rider Precautions (Safety)

US Air Force takes safety beyond duty activities on base to include soldier's motorcycle riding safety off-base. Capt Andrew Schrag states: "Riding a motorcycle is an inherently dangerous activity ... We are committed to lowering our motorcycle incident rate and ensuring the safest possible riding experience for our members." The article states: Airmen are encouraged to re-evaluate basic safety tips, such as the "3-GPS" steps.

Check: -- Gear: Motorcycle condition, drinking water, personal protective equipment. -- Plan: Weather, route, letting a friend or family member know your route. -- Skills: ask yourself if you've had enough experience or training and whether you're rested enough.
