RIDING
WARNING:
Never ride the
motorcycle when fatigued or
under the influence of alcohol or
other drugs.
Riding when under the influence of
alcohol or other drugs is illegal.
Riding when fatigued or under the
influence of alcohol or other drugs
reduces the rider’s ability to maintain
control of motorcycle and may lead to
loss of control and an accident.
WARNING: All riders must be
licensed
to
operate
the
motorcycle.
Operation of the
motorcycle without a licence is illegal
and could lead to prosecution. In
addition, operation without a licence
is dangerous and may lead to loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
WARNING:
Always ride
defensively and wear the
protective
equipment
mentioned
elsewhere
in
this
foreword.
Remember,
in
an
accident,
a
motorcycle does not give the same
impact protection as a car.
WARNING:
This Triumph
motorcycle
should
be
operated within the legal speed limits
for the particular road travelled.
Operating a motorcycle at high
speeds can be potentially dangerous
since the time available to react to
given traffic situations is greatly
reduced as road speed increases.
Always reduce speed in potentially
hazardous driving conditions such as
bad weather or heavy traffic.
WARNING:
Continually
observe and react to changes
in road surface, traffic and wind
conditions. All two--wheeled vehicles
are subject to external forces which
may cause an accident. These forces
include but are not limited to:
S
Wind draft from passing vehicles.
S
Uneven or holed road surfaces.
S
Bad weather.
S
Rider error.
Always operate the motorcycle at
moderate speed and away from heavy
traffic until you have become
thoroughly familiar with its handling
and operating characteristics. Never
exceed the legal speed limit.
