2. Motorcycle Safety Policy: This motorcycle policy outlines safety standards for operating
motorcycles on and off AZARNG installations. Under this policy, a motorcycle is defined as
any motor vehicle having a seat or saddle for the use of its operator and/or passenger and
designed to travel on not more than three wheels in contact with the ground, e.g. motorcycle,
motor driven cycle, speed-limited motor-driven cycle, moped, motor cycle, motorized or motor-
assisted bicycle, trikes, Can-Am Spyders, or motorcycles with side cars.
3. Applicability: This policy applies to all AZARNG military personnel in a duty status; AGR
personnel, at any time, on or off an AZARNG installation and to all DA Civilian personnel in a
duty status. Although adherence to the safety constraints cited in this policy is encouraged by
all, this policy does not apply to off-duty M-Day personnel, off-duty DOD civilians, non-DOD
civilians, state employees, retirees, and dependents operating motorcycles on or off AZARNG
installations. Subordinate commands will not modify this policy without my consent.
4. Motorcycle Operations: Before operating a motorcycle on or off the installation, all service
members assigned or attached to the AZARNG will:
a. Within 30 days of assignment to the AZARNG or acquisition of a motorcycle, show
proof of completion of, or enrollment in, an approved Motorcycle Safety Foundations (MSF)
course.
