The event is designed to promote motorcycle safety, awareness, and comradery among active military members.
acronym that acts as a pre-trip inspection routine. It stands for tires and wheels, controls, lights and electronics, oils and other fluids, chassis, and stands.
All military members are required to take official training from an MSF-certified program before they are allowed to ride a motorcycle on base. Buck McHenry manages the on-base program as the occupational safety manager for JBER’s Safety Office. With over 300 base personnel who ride motorcycles, McHenry’s efforts are crucial to safety on and off base.
“[It’s] a chance for these guys to build some resiliency and contacts to hopefully give them somebody to ride with and maybe, you know, practice safety together and ride safer,” McHenry said. “We don’t want to see anybody get hurt — or worse.”issued in late 2021, Alaska’s four motorcycle-related fatalities in 2020 accounted for nearly 6% of all fatalities in the state that year. Half of those fatalities involved riders not wearing a helmet.
Following inspections, riders took part in exercises designed to prepare them for the road — like weaving through obstacles and stopping quickly — before setting off for a loop around the base. The dozen-plus rumbling engines then provided ‘rolling thunder’ down the Old Glenn Highway to Palmer, where the group enjoyed a barbecue lunch.“It was still fun to get out there and do that,” McHenry said.
