EWMA’s moto is “Friends for Fun, Safety and Riding”.
There has not been much about “Safety” as folks been getting the organization
up and running; but Safety has taken some steps.
Everyone knows what Fun is, everyone knows how to Ride, but
what about Safety? It has taken awhile, but the Safety part is maturing.
EWMA Safety Mission Statement
To promote an atmosphere and
space to encourage the sharing of safety tips, education and on bike skill
exercises for the riders and co-riders. We will do this through EWMA developed presentations,
on bike games, skill exercises, First Aid/CPR training and promotion of safety
talks and tips.
EWMA Presentations - “Eagle
Wings Motorcycle Association presentations created by and for Eagle Wings
Motorcycle Association members”. The Presentations are complete and out to
the Safety / Ride Coordinators. Thus, the Presentations can be given by ANY
EWMA member if they are comfortable with giving them. The Presentations are design
to be informational and jump start the discussion with our members.
EWMA Skill Exercises – The
Skills are designed to be done at a Chapter level for members to hone or work
on their skills. There is no “coaching” or ”instructing” allowed. We are calling them Parking Lot Practices and
consists of 13 individual skill exercises. These should be completed and
provided to the Safety / Ride Coordinators by the end of March, hopefully sooner.
If further proficiency is wanted, consider taking an MSF course.
EWMA on bike Games – The
“On-Bike Games” are FUN exercises, conducted mostly at Chapter and
District levels. The Games will be provided as they are completed, not waiting for ALL
the games to be documented. The “On-Bike Games” will be in a constant update as
more are provided. If you know of any, please send through your Chapter Safety /
Ride Coordinator.
First Aid/CPR training – EWMA
offers continued FA/CPR training. There are NO levels in EWMA. However, we
offer FA/CPR training to keep up your certification and help our fellow members
and the general public.
