Motorcycle Training in the DC Area - How to Get Started
Posted January 5, 2009 · 1 Comment
My wife provided the inspiration to realize my childhood dream of riding. Friends provided guidance about starting with used bikes. And eBay provided a ample supply of bikes of all shapes, sizes, ages, and costs.
But all of that still left me with the fundamental dilemma, how do I get a motorcycle license with no experience, and how do I get experience on the road with no license? How do I even get the bike home, after buying it!?
The answer for the Northern Virginia area seemed to be Virginia’s Rider Training Program. For those who have driven around this area on the weekends during the spring and summer, you’ve probably seen them: lines of motorcycle riders moving slowly through bright orange cones in the college parking lots.

Virginia Driving Deaths Lowest in 40 Years
Posted January 2, 2009 · 3 Comments
Richmond - Virginia could set a record low for traffic fatalities in 2008.
Virginia State Police say 803 had died on Virginia’s roadways through Tuesday. That’s 218 fewer than 2007 and would be the least in more than 40 years the agency has tracked highway deaths.
The lowest number of deaths a year is 839, set in 1992.
One reason for the decline is a drop in motorcycle-related deaths. So far in 2008, 76 people have died in motorcycle wrecks, compared with 126 last year.

08NR30 - MRF News Release - Biker Magazine Erroneously Reports on the Current Status of the MRF
Posted December 10, 2008 · Leave a Comment
In the February 2009 Issue of Biker Magazine it has been erroneously reported that the MRF will no longer be engaging in issue advocacy or lobbying of any kind and that the MRF has been “reorganized” into a charity. “Nothing could be farther from the truth, our 501c4 status remains firmly in place, and we remain as focused as ever to being the Washington D.C. voice exclusively devoted to the street rider that champions the cause of rider safety and rider freedom” stated MRF President Kirk “Hardtail” Willard.
