Vermont Castings MOTORCYCLE Manual page 3

THE COMMISSIONER OF MOTOR VEHICLES
The motorcycle is a popular and powerful machine which demands skill
and attention. As motorcyclists we must exercise extra caution in
preparing to ride and while riding. The motorcyclist is exposed
throughout the entire ride and is subjected to the hazards of weather, road
conditions and the actions of other drivers.
This manual will help you become a more knowledgeable rider, make
you aware of your limits and those of your motorcycle and increase your
safety awareness.
To learn to be a safe, defensive driver I would encourage all riders,
especially beginners and those riders who haven't ridden in some time, to
take the State-sponsored Vermont Rider Education Program (VREP).
VREP is a 15-hour comprehensive rider-training program designed to
teach the basic skills necessary for safe motorcycle operation. VREP also
has a program for advanced or experienced riders. This course will help
build upon your experience and hone skills that you may already have.
Both programs follow nationally recognized safety and training standards
and involve both classroom and on-cycle training. Upon successful
completion of the 15-hour course, the DMV skills test is waived and a
motorcycle endorsement is provided by the Department. For course
information please call 800.529.2535 (Vermont only), or check the
Vermont DMV website at: dmv.vermont.gov.
This manual was produced by the Vermont Department of Motor Vehicles, and printed in
Vermont at a cost of
returning this manual or passing it on to another future rider.
