SAFE RIDING TIPS / GUIDELINES
NOTE
If you are an inexperienced rider we recommend that
you obtain formal training on correct motorcycle riding
techniques and become thoroughly familiar with the
operation of your motorcycle. New riders should again
experience under various conditions while driving
moderate speeds.
Pay strict attention to road surfaces and wind
conditions. Any motorcycle may be subject to the
following up-setting forces :
Wind blasts from passing vehicles.
Rough or uneven road surfaces.
Slippery road surfaces.
These forces may aect the handling characteristics of
your motorcycle. If this happens, reduce speed of the
motorcycle to a controlled condition. Do not apply
brake abruptly.
Operate your motorcycle defensively. Remember
that a motorcycle does not afford the same
protection as an automobile in an accident. One of
the most common accident situations occurs
when the rider / driver of the other motorcycle /
vehicle fails to see or recognise a motorcycle and
turns into the oncoming motorcyclist.
Wear an approved helmet, clothing and footwear
suited for riding a motorcycle. Bright / light colours
are best for greater visibility in traffic, especially at
night. Avoid loose, flowing garments and scarves.
