Safety First

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:
Wind draft from passing vehicles
Potholes, uneven or damaged road
surfaces
Bad weather
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.
Handlebars and Footrests
Warning
The rider must maintain control of the
vehicle by keeping hands on the
handlebars at all times.
The handling and stability of a
motorcycle will be adversely affected if
the rider removes his hands from the
handlebars,
resulting
in
loss
of
motorcycle control and an accident.
Warning
The rider and passenger must always
use the footrests provided, during
operation of the vehicle.
By using the footrests, both rider and
passenger will reduce the risk of
inadvertent
contact
with
any
motorcycle components and will also
reduce the risk of injury from
entrapment of clothing.
