::
PLAYING IT SAFE ::
:: HAZARDS OF THE ROAD
::
- Most motorcycle accidents occur at intersections.
Being alert can avoid an accident.
- Watch for wet or oily road surfaces. They
can cause drivers to lose control of the motorcycle very quickly.
- Leaves, sand, gravel and other obstructions are
out to get you.
- Watch out for road construction. It poses
numerous hazards to driver and allows little time to react. It's
best to slow down, even under the best conditions.
- Don't drink and drive. One beer on a
motorcycle can be one to many.
- Watch out for other drivers. Most drivers
who hit motorcycles claim they never saw the rider. Its' hard for
drivers to properly judge the speed and distances of a motorcycle.
Riders must be alert to traffic and drive defensively.
|
:: DRESS FOR
SUCCESS ::
- Use protective clothing and equipment:
- Head protection: Use either Department of
Transportation or Snell approved helmets. Never wear damaged
helmets; the helmet should have a sticker or label on it to alert anyone
administering first aid to not remove your helmet. Only medical
personnel should remove your helmet in the event of an accident.
This prevents damage to the head and neck.
- Foot protection: Foot and ankle protection
is very important. Over-the-ankle leather boots are required.
Make sure that the soles are in good shape and will slide on the
pavement when needed.
- Gloves: Wear full-finger leather gloves
when you ride. Motorcycle gloves provide the best protection,
leather gloves afford some protection and cloth gloves almost none.
- Eye protections: Proper eye protections is
a necessity. Face shilds or motorcycle goggles are best. If
you wear sunglasses, make sure they are shatter proof. A bug
hitting regular sunglasses at 50 miles an hour can cause drivers to lose
their eyesight.
- Outer garments: Outer garments made for
motorcycle riding afford the best body protection. If you don't
have special motorcycle garments, wear a jacket and have sleeves and
pant legs rolled down.
- Make sure that what you wear can be seen.
Bright colored outer garments and a reflective belt or vest can save you
from an accident.
- Passenger Safety: Before taking a friend
for a ride, make sure they too are dressed properly. This includes
a helmet, gloves, eye protection, long sleeved shirt, long pants and
leather boots. Make sure they know how to be a good rider.
Tell them how to lean during turns and then take a short slow test drive
to let them get used to riding.
|
:: PREPARING THE
MOTORCYCLE ::
- Make sure your motorcycle is also ready by
performing the following checks:
- Lubrication: Check all lubrication
requirements and ensure exposed lubricated equipment is clean as well as
lubricated.
- Engine tune up: Keep the engine tuned up
and running properly.
- Lights: Make sure all the lights are
working and the headlights are one when riding.
- Tires: Tires are very important. Make
sure that you have the right type of tires for the type of driving you
are planning.
- Don't ride on the road ways h slicks or balding
tires as they will hydroplane across wet roads. Check tires often
as they wear out quickly.
- Mirrors: Mirrors must be mounted on both
sides of the bike. Make sure both mirrors are clean and properly
adjusted.
- Maintenance checks: Check the owner's
manual for other maintenance requirements the motorcycle may need.
- Make necessarily periodic adjustments of the
cables, chains and other equipment for safe operation of the motorcycle.
