Triumph Explorer Owner's Handbook Manual page 9

Warning
This Triumph motorcycle should be
operated within the legal speed limits
for the particular road travelled.
Operating a motorcycle at high speeds
can be potentially dangerous since the
time available to react to given traffic
situations is greatly reduced as road
speed increases. Always reduce speed
in potentially hazardous
conditions such as bad weather or
heavy traffic.
Warning
Continually observe and react to
changes in road surface, traffic and
wind conditions. All two-wheeled
vehicles are subject to external forces
which may cause an accident. These
forces include but are not limited to:
• Wind draft from passing vehicles
• Potholes, uneven or damaged road
surfaces
• Bad weather
• Rider error.
Always operate the motorcycle at
moderate speed and away from heavy
traffic until you have
thoroughly familiar with its handling
and operating characteristics. Never
exceed the legal speed limit.
Warning
Banking to an unsafe angle may cause
instability, loss of motorcycle control
and an accident.
