Motorcycling has become increasingly popular in the Army with 33,425 motorcycles currently registered on Army installations. one result is that motorcycle accident rates have increased proportionately. As the accident rate goes up, leaders must find ways to improve motorcycle safety within the Army. The Chief of Staff, Army, now requires the Six Point Program developed by the combat Readiness Center be used by all Army units. Like any sport, motorcycling can be very dangerous. Although we cannot totally prevent motorcycle accidents, through proper training and preparation we can reduce them. Therefore, our actions can make riding motorcycles fun rather than fatal.

We must first ask some pertinent questions if we truly desire to improve Army motorcycle safety.

Some basic questions are:
.How safe is motorcycling?
.How does it compare to driving an automobile?
.Are there any special precautions to be observed?
.What are the causes of crashes, and how can crashes be reduced?
