Motorcycle Support Vehicle SOP

So, you’ve been asked by your favorite motorcycle chapter or club to help support a fund-raising bicycle event and are now wondering what you should do to support such an event.

For years, I have personally witnessed and supported these events and I have seen some confusion amongst motorcyclists who want to help to the best of their ability, but often there is little direction given to the motorcyclists and often there is a lack of communications between the motorcyclists and/or the event coordinators.

Therefore, I assembled a short two-page Motorcycle Support Vehicle (MSV) Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) that can be used by motorcyclists providing support for these events.

This SOP was developed using the input of experienced event support personnel such as the amateur radio community who routinely provide operations coordination through their communications at these events. In addition, many years of trial and error, field-tested development was used to create this SOP.

The goal here is that we will all have a safer, productive support model as well as allow all to better understand their role as a Motorcycle Support Vehicle (MSV).

I hope you find this SOP useful and have a safe event.
