LEVEL I - SAFETY
BY COMMITMENT (SAFE MILES)
- A one time join level - After joining ,
you will be a Level I participant as
long as you are a paid up GWRRA Member
-
No renewal for Level I is necessary.
-
To join, you must complete the GWRRA REP
Level I form, have it validated by any
GWRRA Officer, and mail it to the
address indicated, along with a $6.00
fee for each registrant.
-
You will receive a "Safe Miles" Patch,
Rider or Co-Rider rocker, and mileage
pin indicating how many safe miles you
have ridden since joining GWRRA or since
your last accident. If you have an
accident of any type, whether you are at
fault or not, your safe miles pin should
begin at zero and count forward from
that time. New members will begin the
task of completing their first 5,000
safe miles and receive a 5,000 mile pin
getting them started in the program.
-
You may receive additional Safe Mileage
Pins as you accumulate safe miles by
having your miles validated by a GWRRA
Officer. Complete the Level I form
(again) and send it with $2.00 to the
address shown on form. You will receive
your new mileage pin to display on your
"Safe Miles" Patch. Rockers are
available for increments of 100,000
miles to be displayed under your patch.
Pins are available in 5,000 mile
increments.
-
Aside from the obvious benefit of being
committed to safe operation of your
motorcycle, you can receive a possible
premium reduction in your GWRRA endorsed
motorcycle insurance. Other insurance
carriers may give similar reductions in
price.

Level III -- Safety by Preparedness
(CERTIFIED TOUR
RIDER/CO-RIDER)
It
would be great if we could achieve the
coveted goal of zero accidents, however, we
know realistically this is hard to attain.
Since accidents will and do occur, it is
important that
we be fully prepared to lend
aid to unfortunate accident
victims. We
should
always be prepared to save a life.
The Level III of the GWRRA Rider Education
Program was
developed to deal with such
circumstances by recognizing and encouraging
proper First Aid or CPR training. CPR, a
level III requirement has been used to save
many lives. Being trained to
render CPR or
give First Aid is a tremendous asset.
