Safe Riding Practices
• Do not ride when you're fatigued or under the influence of alcohol, prescription drugs,
over-the-counter drugs or any other drugs. Fatigue, alcohol and drugs can cause drowsi-
ness, loss of coordination and loss of balance. They can also affect your awareness and
judgment.
• If your motorcycle operates abnormally, correct the problem immediately. See the VIC-
TORY Service Manual or an authorized VICTORY dealer.
• Ride defensively, as if you are invisible to other motorists, even in broad daylight. A
motorist's failure to see or recognize a motorcycle is the leading cause of automobile/
motorcycle accidents. Ride where you're clearly visible to other motorists, and observe
their behavior carefully.
