Rider education is one of the many reasons to join GWRRA. There is an incredible collection of seminars and training available, all by provided by trained volunteers at no cost, or at a minimal charge, just to cover expenses. This wealth of training goes to the heart of what GWRRA is all about ... Friends for Fun, Safety and Knowledge.
GWRRA encourages members to join the Rider Education Levels Program. The Levels Program is designed to encourage participation in the Rider Education Program (REP) and is intended to make the motorcycle environment safer by reducing injuries and fatalities and increasing motorcyclist skills and awareness. This is a pretty tall order and while we don't have all the answers, we do believe training will help.
The Levels Program has four basic levels:
- Level I: Safety by Commitment
- Level II: Safety by Education
- Level III: Safety by Preparedness
- Level IV: Safety by Enhanced Commitment and Preparedness
Please ask any of your Chapter Officers about the program, or check the GWRRA website for more information. Look under Rider Education -> "REP Levels Program".
