What's a mandatory check ride?
Oh, and take your rain gear.
LOL I thought of packing it..
So in the military (since safety is always FIRST lol).. we have to do a check ride every few months to make sure everyone is aware of the military regulation on motorcycle and also to make sure everyone is confident in their riding capability..
I take it as a get out of work and ride day
how weird is that, what is "military regulation" on a motorcycle that's different and if you don't ride a bike nothing? This in lieu of getting a regular state drivers license or something?

I'm assuming he's talking about adhering to community of standards and also for checking to see if you're riding correctly. Community of standards can be anything from wearing a certain color reflective vest, headlights on at all times, no horns in certain areas, etc.

Military regulation for motorcycles is we are required to at least wear semi protective gear. Helmet, full fingered gloves, over ankle shoes /boots, long sleeve shirt at a minimum, and pants. Daytime riding requires bright clothing, nighttime requires reflective materials.

if you are in the armed forces is required that you do a check ride at least twice during a normal riding season also take safety classes, that will include traffic state laws and proper gear. The regulation also says that the Basic MSF course is mandatory before any soldier can ride their bike, while the experience course is mandatory every 3 years. Every course is free for soldiers and available on every military post.
Yep all the above are correct! We need full gloves, DOT helmet (no sticker), ankled boots, long sleeves, all the required courses.
No special license.. If you violate the regulation and crash your medical is not covered.
Not much different than most states but in Hawaii where the outside rules are so laxed, we need to reinforce the rules to everyone.

Have fun...
Ah ha, its because of the medical insurance! Makes sense. Proper gear is a great thing to promote anyway. Not to mention the two free days of riding a year! Maybe one day we can have bike force fields that would be cool lol

Agreed. I run the motorcycle program at my command and with so many tourists and squids out here in Hawaii not wearing gear because of hot weather and going for the "beach" look, our guys get caught up in it too. We do command rides once every month. Day off for riding.

WTF time do you go to work? camera sounded great especially at speed. Where is the mic? Trying to figure out where you were. You on the westside heading into the city? Need one during the day
