Foreword - Safety First
Riding
Warning
Never ride the motorcycle when
fatigued or under the influence of
alcohol or other drugs.
Riding when under the influence of
alcohol or other drugs is illegal.
Riding when fatigued or under the
influence of alcohol or other drugs
reduces the rider's ability to
maintain control of the motorcycle
and may lead to loss of control and
an accident.
Warning
All riders must be licensed to
operate the motorcycle. Operation
of the motorcycle without a licence
is illegal and could lead to
prosecution. In addition, operation
without a licence is dangerous and
may lead to loss of motorcycle
control and an accident.
Warning
Always ride defensively and wear
the protective equipment
mentioned elsewhere in this
foreword. Remember, in an
accident, a motorcycle does not
give the same impact protection as
a car.
Warning
This Triumph motorcycle should be
operated within the legal speed
limits for the particular road
travelled. Operating a motorcycle at
high speeds can be potentially
dangerous since the time available
to react to given traffic situations is
greatly reduced as road speed
increases. Always reduce speed in
potentially hazardous driving
conditions such as bad weather or
heavy traffic.
