Off-Road Safety
Learn to ride in an uncongested off-road area
free of obstacles before venturing onto
unfamiliar terrain.
●
Always obey local off-road riding laws and
regulations.
●
Obtain permission to ride on private property.
Avoid posted areas and obey “NO
Trespassing” signs.
●
Ride with a friend on another motorcycle so
that you can assist each other in case of
trouble.
●
Familiarity with your motorcycle is critically
important should a problem occur far from
help.
●
Never ride beyond your ability and experience
or faster than conditions warrant.
●
If you are not familiar with the terrain, ride
cautiously. Hidden rocks, holes, or ravines
could spell disaster.
●
Muffler is required in most off-road areas.
Don’t modify your exhaust system.
Remember that excessive noise bothers
everyone and creates a bad image for
motorcycling.
