Road
Captains
There is always
a need for Road Captains in our Chapter. If you are interested in becoming
a Road Captain, please contact the Head Road Captain or Safety Officer
for an application.
Road Captain Requirements
- You must be a Shiawassee MI Chapter member and have a motorcycle endorsement.
- Have at least two years of recent riding experience.
- Lead six rides with a Road Captain to coach you. (Expect some constructive criticism). You may not be comfortable starting with a Chapter Dinner Ride and may make arrangements with the Safety Officer or Head Road Captain to organize a group ride to gain experience.
- Receive a vote of confidence from the Road Captains involved in your six ride seasoning period.
Road Captains are Expected to:
- Always be ready to lead a variety of rides.
- Attend Road Captain meetings whenever possible. Road Captains are, however,
required to attend at least three scheduled Road Captain meetings each year.
During each year a minimum of four Road Captain meetings will be scheduled
at a time other than the first Monday of each month. This will enable those with conflicting
schedules to attend.
- Arrive early for rides to help line up bikes and familiarize yourself with the route.
- Help insure non-members in your group have signed the appropriate waivers.
- Help make sure all riders are familiar with the basic hand signals, formations and intervals.
Road Captains are encouraged to:
- Attend a M.S.F. or H.O.G. approved safe rider class. The Safety Officer will make the Chapter aware of classes offered in our area.
- Attend other classes like "Downed Rider" or "Mature Rider" that may be scheduled for the Chapter by the Safety Officer.
- Attend First-Aid and CPR classes scheduled by the Safety Officer.
- Participate in the Group Riding Skills class organized by the Safety Officer.
