First Time Out - BMW K 1200 LT Owner's Manual

Safe motorcycling does not
depend on the motorcycle and
equipment alone.
Your own skill and common-sense
are needed too.
The key to genuine safety on the
road is a sensible balance bet-
ween the motorcycle's technical
features and the rider's skill, so
that together they form a single
efficient unit.
Riding safely in traffic calls for a
sense of responsibility to your
passenger and to other road
users.

First time out

W
D o not ride the motorcycle
after drinking alcoholic
beverages. Even small amounts
of alcohol or drugs, particularly
if taken in conjunction with
medicines, will adversely affect
your perception and your ability
to assess situations and make
decisions, and also slow down
your reflexes.
Take to the road now by all means,
but think carefully about every-
thing you do.
