Marines Face Strict New Motorcycle Rules

Week of May 05, 2008

Marines who own or intend to purchase a motorcycle are now required to notify their commands prior to making a purchase. The requirement will ensure that Marines are aware of the responsibilities associated with owning a bike, including registration, training, and personal protective equipment. Any Marine who currently owns a motorcycle must notify their command and register their bikes at the provost marshal's office, regardless of whether or not the Marine rides on base. The Marine must also maintain a valid driver's license with a motorcycle endorsement. Marines who do not possess all required documents will be prohibited from riding a motorcycle. The new requirements are outlined in ALMAR 014/08.
