Navy Announces Bike Course

Week of June 23, 2008

The Naval Safety Center (NSC) and the Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) unveiled the new military sport bike course (MSBC) designed specifically for high-performance motorcycles. The MSBC began in fleet-concentration areas earlier this month, including San Diego, Camp Lejeune, N.C., and Jacksonville, Fla., and is expected to spread rapidly throughout Navy and Marine Corps installations worldwide. The one-day, eight-hour course, focuses on the speed and cornering characteristics of sport bikes with three hours of classroom instruction followed by four hours of range exercise. Students are able to apply the skills they have just learned under strict supervision in a controlled atmosphere. The MSBC is limited to 12 students per class.
