FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH
THE MOTORCYCLE
Your riding skill and your mechanical
knowledge form the foundation for
safe riding practices. We suggest that
you practice riding your motorcycle in
a non-traffic situation until you are
thoroughly familiar with your machine
and its controls. Remember practice
makes perfect.
KNOW YOUR LIMITS
Ride within the boundaries of your
own skill at all times. Knowing these
limits and staying within them will help
you to avoid accidents.
BE EXTRA SAFETY CONSCIOUS
ON BAD WEATHER DAYS
Riding on bad weather days, espe-
cially wet ones, requires extra cau-
tion. Braking distances double on a
rainy day. Stay off the painted surface
marks, manhole covers and greasy
appearing areas as they can be espe-
cially slippery. Use extreme caution at
railway crossings and on metal grat-
ings and bridges. Whenever in doubt
about road condition, slow down!
RIDE DEFENSIVELY
The most common type of motorcycle
accident occurs when a car traveling
towards a motorcycle turns round cor-
ner in front of the motorcyclist. Ride
defensively. Wise motorcyclist uses a
strategy of assuming they are invisible
to other drivers, even in broad day-
light. Wear bright, reflecting clothing.
Turn on the headlight and taillight
every time even on a bright, sunny
day to attract driver’s attention. Do not
ride in another driver’s blind spot.
LABELS
Read and follow all the labels on the
motorcycle. Make sure you under-
stand all of the labels. Do not remove
any labels from the motorcycle.
