Special Note; Safety is our utmost priority. Every effort possible is made in planning and executing the PGR mission statement in a manner that minimizes dangers of riding a motorcycle, including riding in groups of all sizes and any situation. While the NCPGR and it’s riders have a remarkable safety record in the execution of our missions, infrequently members have been injured in unforeseen accidents. In an effort to mitigate the risk of preventable accidents, All Attendees Who Wish To Ride In A Patriot Guard Escort OR Ride Are Asked To Attend The Pre – Mission Briefing. It will include a safety briefing, and any unique ride information known to the RCIC that may be specific to the mission. Member safety and well-being is always a principal ongoing concern, our RCIC’S are asked to stand – down from any mission that cannot be accomplished in relative safety or unreasonable risk. This includes both rides and flag lines in inclement weather and conditions. It remains each individual PGR members responsibility to ride within their own comfort zone and be cognizant of their surroundings and skill limitations as well as any physical need or limitations. If the ride/or mission conditions present challenges beyond your skill, comfort, or needs you are expected to exercise good judgment in forgoing any planned participation.
