The Military Riders Academy – Cycle Safe
The Military Riders Academy – Cycle Safe - has been developed for Harley-Davidson Military Sales with one goal in mind…the safety of military riders. This program has been designed to reduce motorcycle crashes and related injuries through continuing rider education. Over 50% of motorcycle crash fatalities are alcohol related.
But even if you take those crashes out of the mix, motorcyclists are still five times more likely to be killed in a crash than their counterparts in automobiles. Twenty-five percent of motorcycle crashes involve riders with six months of riding experience or less.
Our Cycle Safe program includes a comprehensive introduction video to some basic safety principles. Many of these same principles are taught in almost every motorcycle safety program. The goal of Cycle Safe is to create Safety Awareness within the military riding community. If it helps to save one person, or prevent one accident…that goal has been accomplished.
We encourage motorcyclists to continue their education; to take motorcycle safety classes whenever and wherever they can, and re-take classes they have already attended. They should practice what they’ve learned until it is second nature.
Our company also pays for motorcycle training for our customers. We urge motorcycle riders to enroll in live programs such as those offered by the U.S. Military, the Motorcycle Safety Foundation, and through Harley-Davidson dealers.
Choose any accredited Motorcycle Safety Foundation, Harley-Davidson Riders Edge or any affiliated motorcycle training course in the USA and receive up to a $200 reimbursement.
Upon completion of the course, send your original receipt along with a copy of your Safety Course ID card or certificate of completion, to the following address for reimbursement, and we will send you a special edition Military Riders Academy patch and pin. The basic riders training course may be mandatory at your base and may be offered free of charge. For more information, contact your local on-base safety office.
