Last updated on Tuesday, February 14, 2017

(INDIANAPOLIS) - Ride Safe Indiana (RSI), the State of Indiana’s motorcycle safety program, will be the official co-sponsor of the Biker’s Showcase at the Indiana Motorcycle Expo this weekend, February 17-19, at the Indiana State Fairgrounds. RSI will also will also host a booth in the Exposition Hall during the event.

Ride Safe Indiana was created not only to train motorcyclists, but to remind all motorists to share the road and help decrease motorcycle accidents and fatalities. RSI offers basic rider courses and advanced rider courses from 17 providers across Indiana. In addition to conventional motorcycle safety courses, RSI is expanding its motorcycle safety courses to include three-wheeled motorcycle training courses due to growing popularity of three-wheeled vehicles.

"We are coming off a record year of enrollment with RSI providers training more than 7,800 riders in 2016," said Bureau of Motor Vehicles Commissioner Peter Lacy. "I encourage all riders, beginning and experienced alike, to stop at the RSI booth in Exposition Hall and sign up for one of our safety courses."

In addition to hosting a booth at the Indiana Motorcycle Expo, the BMV will have a booth and mobile license branch in the Marsh Blue Ribbon Pavilion at the Indiana State Fairgrounds during the Boat, Sport and Travel Show, February 17-26. Customers can complete transactions, speak to BMV staff and try the driving safety simulator.
