SAFE RIDING TIPS / GUIDELINES
NOTE
If you are an inexperienced rider we recommend that
you obtain formal training on correct motorcycle riding
techniques and become thoroughly familiar with the
operation of your motorcycle. New riders should gain
experience under various conditions while driving at
moderate speeds.
Pay strict attention to road surfaces and wind conditions.
Any motorcycle may be subject to the following up-
setting forces :
H
Wind blasts from passing vehicles.
H
Rough or uneven road surfaces.
H
Slippery road surfaces.
These forces may affect the handling characteristics
of your motorcycle. If this happens, reduce speed of
the motorcycle to a controlled condition. Do not apply
brake abruptly.
„
Operate your motorcycle defensively. Remember
that a motorcycle does not afford the same
protection as an automobile in an accident. One of
the most common accident situations occurs when
the rider / driver of the other motorcycle / vehicle
fails to see or recognise a motorcycle and turns into
the oncoming motorcyclist.
„
Wear an approved helmet, clothing and footwear
suited for riding a motorcycle. Bright / light colours
are best for greater visibility in traffic, especially at
night. Avoid loose, flowing garments and scarves.
