Looking for Ideas: Motorcycle Safety Training Baltimore / Washin

  • February 16, 2013 12:28 AM PST
    I am trying to cooridnate motorcycle safety training for Soldiers and Sailors in the Baltimore / Washington DC area to kick off the spring riding season. I am currently working with the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA) which has agreed to come up and speak.

    I was hoping to find a nearby track that would agree to host a track day so these guys could get a feel for the road before jumping back into the anarchy that is DC driving but I haven't gotten any traction on that front. The tracks have no issue but they aren't free which is what I was hoping they would offer as I have no bugdget.

    I am looking for any ideas people on CycleFish may have.

    Thanks!!!

    This is a good idea. The only suggestion I can give is to solicit local Cycle Dealers for some donations.

      Me too.   I would hit every manufacturer.  Once you get one brand the others won't want to be left out!

    There a number of considerations involved,perhaps gaining some legal insight may be required to avoid legal liabilitys about the venture also.Perhaps finding a local insurance company/biker insurance companies to help sponsor it could be another avenue? kill two birds w/one toss,eliminate liabilities for sponsorships perhaps.
    Hope this helps a bit
    stay safe n enjoy the ride !!!
