ALWAYS WEAR A HELMET
The operator and passenger (if any) of this vehicle should always wear a helmet
approved by agencies such as the Department of Transportation (DOT), Safety
Helmet Council of America (SHCA), or Snell Memorial Foundation (SNELL). Most
accident fatalities are due to head injuries. The operator should also wear face
shields or goggles, boots or closed-toe shoes, gloves and other appropriate
protective clothing.
TAKE TIME TO LEARN AND PRACTICE
Take time to get to know this vehicle. The operator’s ability to operate this
motorcycle safely is largely dependent upon the operator’s ability to exercise proper
judgment. The operator must be of sufficient age, understanding, mental capacity,
and physical capability to safely operate this vehicle. This vehicle should only be
operated after sufficient practice in a decongested area. Safe operation includes
responsibility for the safety of a passenger (if any). We recommend that any
inexperienced driver should take a certified course approved by the Motorcycle
Safety Foundation (MSF).
RIDE DEFENSIVELY
A common accident happens when a car suddenly moves into your lane. Most
motorcycle collisions happen when a car turns left in front of a motorcycle. Pay extra
attention to other vehicles around you and never expect that they can see you.
MAKE YOURSELF VISIBLE
Make yourself more visible by wearing bright reflective clothing. Use your horn when
it helps others see you and before turning use your turn signal.
RIDE WITHIN YOUR LIMITS
You should not ride beyond your abilities and never faster than the posted speed
limit. NEVER OPERATE THIS VEHICLE WHILE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ALCOHOL,
DRUGS OR MEDICATION OF ANY KIND. SUCH OPERATION COULD BE DANGEROUS
TO YOURSELF AND/OR OTHERS.
KEEP YOUR VEHICLE IN A SAFE CONDITION
Proper maintenance will ensure a safe ride. Perform all recommended maintenance
and inspect your vehicle before each ride. Never modify your vehicle in any way to
make it unsafe.
