I agree with you Sam and Rick however; It would be nice if every one followed the established rules. (I guess I am just getting old. I do remember when I was young ) As far a Motorcycle rules on Base/Post it would be nice if they were enforced consistently from one day to the next. No, the rules are not oppressive but some common sense when the rules are established, and common sense, consistent enforcement, should be the goal, With real motorcycle safety being the primary goal. For instance a person wearing a black long sleeve Tee Shirt with a orange road guard vest, jeans, ankle high tennis shoes, cruiser style black pot helmet, summer golf gloves, and sunglasses will be able to get on base. I in my gray riding Stitch with armor, riding gloves with knuckle armor, motorcycle boots, full face white helmet with visor, will not be able to get on base/post. All becouse I don't have the orange Dork Vest. If it is about motorcycle safety, who is more safe?. It is all about command CYA. The bright color VEST might help but I have a hard time believing the cage drivers can't see you at 35mph.(Base Max MPH) With head light on and faring and windshield on the bike, it does not matter what color Jacket/Vest the rider is wearing. It cannot be distinguished from the front, head on. Safety test have proven that. Helmet color has more bearing then Vest color.
Anyway I am retired, retired and I don't ride on base much anymore. And when I do I have what I am suppose to have. I should not get upset over this but the inconsistencies have bothered me for years.
