As We View ItAs We View It


Key Points1. MSF is a national, not-for-profit organization with a world

view and U.S. focus.2. Up are motorcycle sales, crashes, and demand for safety

training.3. MSF develops curricula, certifies instructors, establishes

standards, recognizes sites, and assures quality.4. Rider education and training is an effective safety

countermeasure, and is a key piece in the puzzle toward a motorcyclist safety system.

5. MSF is involved in program development, licensing, research, and communications.

6. Primary issues are effective training, licensing, alcohol use, use of protective gear, and riders making the right choices.
