LEVEL I - SAFETY BY COMMITMENT (SAFE MILES)  

  LEVEL I REQUIREMENTS:

  • 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.
