Important Message To Parents - Honda CRF100F Owner's Manual

Important Message to Parents

MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL MATURITY
are requirements for safe riding. Does your
youngster think through problems and come to
logical solutions? On a bicycle, does your
youngster obey safe riding rules? Be honest!
Young people who take unnecessary risks,
make bad judgments, and don't obey rules are
not ready to ride this motorcycle.
Instruction and Supervision
If you decide that your youngster is ready to
safely operate this motorcycle, make sure both
of you carefully read and understand the
owner's manual before riding. Also be sure that
your youngster has a helmet and other
appropriate riding equipment and always wears
it when operating the vehicle or sitting on it.

Motorcycle Safety
GOOD INSTRUCTION is an important part of
hands-on training. The teacher can either be
you or another responsible adult who has
experience with off-road motorcycle riding.
(For help in finding a qualified instructor, talk
with your Honda dealer.) Even if you're not the
main teacher, it's up to you to ensure your
youngster's safety. Remember, learning to ride
a motorcycle is a gradual, step-by-step process.
It takes time, patience, and practice many
hours over a period of weeks or months.
