THE SPORT OF

MOTORCYCLING

Your motorcycle and this owner’s man-

ual have been designed by people like

you who enjoy motorcycling. People

become motorcyclists for many rea-

sons. For starters, street riding is fun

and invigorating. But no matter why you

became a motorcyclist, or how experi-

enced you are, you will eventually face

some challenging situations.

In preparing for these challenges, you

will be fine-tuning your coordination,

concentration, and attitude. Learning

the skills and strategies associated with

motorcycling is the basis for safely par-

ticipating in this sport. Many motorcy-

clists find that as they become better

riders, they also get more enjoyment

from the freedom unique to motorcy-

cling.

Please remember:

1-3

MOST ACCIDENTS CAN BE AVOIDED

The most common type of motorcycle

accident in the U.S. occurs when a car

traveling toward a motorcycle turns left

in front of the motorcycle. Is that

because other drivers are out to get

motorcyclists? No. Other drivers simply

don’t always notice motorcyclists. Ride

defensively. Wise motorcyclists use a

strategy of assuming they are invisible

to other drivers, even in broad daylight.

Pay careful attention to other motorists,

especially at intersections, because

they may not be paying attention to you.

Select a lane position that gives you the

best view of others, and other motorists

the best view of you. Wear bright,

reflective clothing. Put reflective strips

on your helmet.

IF YOU DON’T HAVE A HELMET - BUY

A HELMET, AND WEAR IT EVERY

TIME YOU RIDE

Most accidents occur within a few miles

of home, and almost half occur at

speeds of less than 30 mph. So even if

you’re just going on a quick errand, be

prepared-strap on your helmet before

you take off.

Helmets do not reduce essential vision

or hearing. Generally, helmets do not

cause or intensify injury if you crash.

Helmets simply help your skull protect

your intelligence, your memory, your

personality, and your life.

Your eyesight is equally valuable. Wear-

ing suitable eye protection can help keep

your vision unblurred by the wind and

save your eyes from airborne hazards like

bugs, dirt, or pebbles kicked up by tires.
