From the Marne Rider Courier Editor
I hope you enjoy the new
format of the “Marne Riders Courier” and the contents of the newsletter
which contains contributions from fellow Marne
Riders, and articles of interests from various
sources.
The newsletter was created utilizing Microsoft Publisher and saved as a PDF
file.
The benefit of having the
Marne Riders newsletter
sent via a PDF file is that
we will not be limited to the
amount of pages and pictures due to snail mail
postal weight. This will allow us to email the newsletter and keep hardcopies
and reduce postage mailing costs.
I am looking at inclusion
of other articles of interests like a members profile, member bike trips
highlights, and etc. So, if
you would like to contribute, please write an article, include pictures and
send to me for inclusion
in the next news letter.
remember, it is your
newsletter and the contents depends on what
you would like to see.

Special to the Frontline
Fort Stewart-Hunter Army Airfield is
conducting safety awareness training
and policy enforcement regarding motorcycle safety requirements.
Motorcycle riders wishing to ride on
Stewart-Hunter must comply with Department of the Army Regulations and
installation guidelines.
For access to the installation, motorcycles or mopeds, 50cc or higher must
be registered, according to IMSESTW
Regulation 190-5, dated Feb 14, 2011.
Applications for registration of motorcycles and mopeds (50cc or higher)
will be processed in the same manner
as provided for other motor vehicles.
Soldiers operating motorcycles or mopeds (50cc or higher) are required to
complete an accredited Motorcycle
Safety Foundation Course from any
military installation or outside agency
prior to permanent
registration being issued.
All registration decals consist of the
DD Form 2220, an installation identifier
tab, and a rank insignia (if applicable),
and will be placed to be easily identifiable.
Military personnel who operate a privately or government-owned motorcycle/moped are required to attend and
complete an approved Motorcycle Defensive Driving Course prior to operation of the motorcycle/moped on or
off the installation.
Upon completion of the course, personnel will be provided with a MDDC
card. Personnel are authorized
to operate their motorcycle/moped on
the installation for the purpose of attending the Motorcycle Safety
Course. Attendance may be verified by
contacting the Installation Safety Office.
Operators of privately or Government
owned motorcycles
and mopeds must be currently licensed by civil authorities to operate
motorcycles or mopeds on public
roadways. Mopeds will not carry passengers unless specifically designed
to do so. Headlights must be kept
on at all times. A rear view mirror will
be attached to each side of the handlebars.
 Operators and passengers
will wear a properly fastened protective helmet, proper eye protection
and high visibility garments (bright
color for day and reflective for night).
A motorcycle or moped windshield is
not proper eye protection.
 Military personnel will wear brightly
colored reflective safety vests at all
times when operating motorcycles/
mopeds while wearing the Army
Combat Uniform. (ACU). Reflective
safety belts are not authorized in lieu
of the safety vest.
 All riders will wear full fingered
gloves, long trousers, long sleeved
shirt or jacket, and leather boots or
over the ankle shoes while operating or riding on or off the
installation.
NOTE: For military personnel, the
failure to wear required safety equipment while operating a motorcycle
and/or moped either on or off of FS/
HAAF, in addition to possible UCMJ
and/or Administrative action,
could also result in an unfavorable
line of duty investigation
finding, if it is determined that the
Soldier's misconduct of not wearing
the equipment contributed
to the Soldier's injuries.

Maintain your bike so it is safe
too. Keep records of the intervals when you replace tires,
chains, clutch cables, batteries,
brakes, etc. You don't want an
equipment malfunction to contribute to a motorcycle accident.
Practice riding under all kinds of
traffic situations. Ride with a
buddy if at all possible. Avoid
riding long distances alone.

In 1905, he started the railroad

than 100 miles out into open water,
requiring trailblazing techniques and
backbreaking labor by a crew that
sometimes numbered more than
4,000 men.. The railroad was comppleted in 1912 with great fanfare. The
fanfare of the railroad came to an abrupt
halt with the 1935 Hurricane known as
the Labor Day Hurricane.
