Motorcycle Safety
Important Safety Information
Your motorcycle can provide many years of service and pleasure – if you take
responsibility for your own safety and understand the challenges you can meet
while riding.
There is much that you can do to protect yourself when you ride. You’ll find
many helpful recommendations throughout this manual. The following are a
few that we consider to be most important.
Always Wear a Helmet
It’s a proven fact: helmets significantly reduce the number and severity of head
injuries. So always wear an approved motorcycle helmet and make sure your
passenger does the same. We also recommend that you wear eye protection,
sturdy boots, gloves, and other protective gear (
Take Time to Learn & Practice
Even if you have ridden other motorcycles, take time to become familiar with how
this motorcycle works and handles. Practice in a safe area until you build your skills
and get accustomed to the motorcycle’s size and weight.
Because many crashes involve inexperienced or untrained riders, we urge all
riders to take a motorcycle operator course approved by the Motorcycle Safety
Foundation (MSF). See
Ride Cautiously
Ride cautiously and keep your hands on the handlebar and feet on the footpegs.
Ride Defensively
The most frequent motorcycle collision happens when a car turns left in front of
a motorcycle. Another common situation is a car moving suddenly into your
lane.
Always pay attention to other vehicles around you, and do not assume that other
drivers see you. Be prepared to stop quickly or make an evasive maneuver. For
other riding tips, see the booklet,
You and Your Motorcycle Riding Tips,
