Motorcycle riding requires special efforts on your
part to ensure your safety. Know these requirements

Safe Riding Rules

1. Always make a Pre-ride Inspection (page 32) before
you start the engine. You may prevent an accident
or equipment damage.
2. Many accidents involve inexperienced riders. Make
sure you are qualified before you ride. NEVER lend
your motorcycle to an inexperienced rider.
3. Many automobile/motorcycle accidents happen
because the automobile driver says he/she did not
"see" the motorcyclist. Make yourself conspicuous
to help avoid accidents.
• Always ride with the headlight on.
• Wear bright or reflective clothing and helmet.
• Do not ride in another motorist's "blind spot".
4. Obey all national and local laws and regulations.
• Excessive speed is a factor in many accidents.
Obey the speed limits, and NEVER ride faster
than conditions warrant.
• Signal before you make a turn or lane change.
• The size and maneuverability of your motorcycle
can surprise other motorists.
5. Do not let other motorists surprise you. Use extra
caution at intersections, parking lot entrances and
exits, and driveways.
6. Keep both hands on the handlebars and both feet
on the footpegs while riding. The passenger should
hold on to the motorcycle or operator with both
hands and keep both feet on the passenger
footpegs.
7. Never leave your motorcycle unattended while the
engine is running.
8. Always adjust the rearview mirrors (page 63).
