How to Ride the Motorcycle

Considerations for
High-Speed Operation
Warning
This Triumph motorcycle should be
operated within the legal speed limits
for the particular road traveled.
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 consideration of weather and traffic
conditions.
Warning
Only operate this Triumph motorcycle
at high speed in closed-course on-road
competition or on closed-course
racetracks. High-speed operation
should only then be attempted by
riders who have been instructed in the
techniques necessary for high-speed
riding and are familiar with the
motorcycle's characteristics in all
conditions.
High-speed operation in any other
circumstances is dangerous and will
lead to loss of motorcycle control and
an accident.
Warning
The handling characteristics of a
motorcycle at high speed may vary
from those you are familiar with at
legal road speeds. Do not attempt
high-speed operation unless you have
received sufficient training and have
the required skills as a serious
accident may result from incorrect
operation.
Warning
The items listed below are extremely
important and must never be
neglected. A problem, which may not
be noticed at normal operating
speeds, may be greatly exaggerated
at high speeds.
