AND USING BOTH BRAKES INTERMITTENTLY.
WHEN DRIVING DOWNHILL, NEVER RIDE WITH THE ENGINE TURNED OFF.
WHEN RIDING ON WET SURFACES OR SURFACES WITH POOR GRIP (SNOW,
ICE, MUD, ETC.) USE MODERATE SPEED, AVOID SUDDEN BRAKING OR MA-
NOEUVRES THAT MAY CAUSE TO A LOSS OF TRACTION AND POSSIBLY TO
A FALL OR CRASH.
