Welcome to the ACC Texas MS 150 Motorcycle Marshal Program!

The ACC Texas MS 150 Motorcycle Marshals play a critical role in the safety and success of the event.  The primary mission of the Motorcycle Marshals is monitoring the welfare of bicycle riders along the route, rendering aid to riders in distress, and, and alerting the Command Post of more serious cases.  Additionally, Motorcycle Marshals provide communications, alert the MS Command Post about accidents or other hazards on the route, and other duties as needed. Many Motorcycle Marshals help bicycle riders change flat tires and other minor bicycle repairs.  

Motorcycle Marshals must be at least 25 years old, have a valid drivers license with a motorcycle endorsement, and proof of insurance covering the motorcycle to be ridden in the Texas MS 150.  They should be an active rider for the past two years with at least 5000 miles riding experience.  Motorcycle Marshals often ride at low speeds (15-20 mph) in close proximity to bicycles, so good motorcycle handling skills at these speeds are essential. An MSF course or equivalent is required.

The National MS Society will require all motorcycle volunteers submit copy of vehicle insurance and copy of operator's driver license.

Motorcycle Marshals are required to wear DOT approved helmets while on the ride and may only ride solo.  Motorcycles ride in close proximity to bicycles, so trikes, sidecars, or any other motorcycle variation with more than two wheels is not allowed, nor are trailers towed behind the motorcycle. 

Part of our mission is to help provide the bicycle riders with an enjoyable experience.  Most riders do not appreciate extremely loud pipes during their ride, so we do our best to accommodate this.  Stock pipes are fine, but extremely loud pipes are not welcome on bicycle rides.
