PRACTICE AWAY FROM TRAFFIC
Your riding skill and your mechanical
knowledge form the foundation for safe
riding practices. We suggest that you
practice riding your motorcycle in a non-
traffic situation until you are thoroughly
familiar with your machine and its con-
trols. Again, consider taking one of the
MSF's Rider Courses. Even experts will
be pleased with the caliber of the infor-
mation presented in these courses. As
the MSF says: "The more you know, the
better it gets!"
