KNOW YOUR LIMITS
Always ride within the boundaries of your
own skills. Knowing these limits and staying
within them will help you avoid crashes.
A major cause of crashes involving only a
motorcycle (and no other vehicles) is going
too fast through a turn. Before entering a
turn, select an appropriately low cornering
speed and appropriate cornering angle.
Even on straight roads, ride at a speed that
is appropriate for the traffic, visibility and
road conditions, your motorcycle, and your
experience.
Riding a motorcycle safely requires that your
mental and physical skills are fully part of
the experience. You should not attempt to
operate a motor vehicle, especially one with
two wheels, if you are tired or under the
influence of alcohol or other drugs. Alcohol,
illegal drugs, and even some prescription
and over-the-counter drugs can cause
drowsiness, loss of coordination, loss of bal-
ance, and especially the loss of good judg-
ment. If you are tired or under the influence
of alcohol or other drugs, PLEASE DO NOT
RIDE your motorcycle.
