Welcome to the District 13 Motorcycle Safety Website. This site is focused primarily on Motorcycle Safety. It has no brand bias of any kind. Indeed, by 'motorcycle' we mean any motorized two or three wheeled vehicle. It is our intention to provide Coast Guard and DoD policy and information regarding motorcycle safety that affects the Coast Guard member that chooses to ride. We hope to significantly reduce your odds of having an accident while riding your motorcycle.

In addition to safety concerns, the site will attempt to provide information on motorcycling events and riding tips to enhance your riding experience. If you have ideas for articles or other items to be included here, please contact the District Motorcycle Safety Officer. Also, please register in the "Rider Registration" area of this site.

Also, review the documents in the "Policy" section to better acquaint yourself with District and CG-wide policy.
