How to Ride the Motorcycle
75
Considerations for
High-Speed Operation
Do not park on a soft or on a steeply
inclined surface. Parking under these
conditions may cause the motorcycle
to fall over causing damage to
property and personal injury.
Petrol is extremely flammable and can
be explosive under certain conditions.
If parking inside a garage or other
structure, be sure it is well ventilated
and the motorcycle is not close to any
source of flame or sparks. This
includes any appliance with a pilot
light.
Failure to follow the above advice may
cause a fire resulting in damage to
property or personal injury.
The engine and exhaust system will be
hot after riding. DO NOT park where
pedestrians and children are likely to
touch the motorcycle.
Touching any part of the engine or
exhaust system when hot may cause
unprotected skin to become burnt.
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 consideration of weather and traffic
conditions.
Only operate this Triumph motorcycle
at high speed in closed-course
on-road competition or on closed-
course racetracks. High-speed
operation should only then be
attempted by riders who have been
instructed in the techniques
necessary for high-speed riding and
are familiar with the motorcycle's
characteristics in all conditions.
High-speed operation in any other
circumstances is dangerous and will
lead to loss of motorcycle control and
an accident.
