Riding
Warning
Never ride the motorcycle when fa-
tigued or under the influence of alcohol
or other drugs.
Riding when under the influence of al-
cohol or other drugs is illegal.
Riding when fatigued or under the in-
fluence 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 licenced to operate
the motorcycle. Operation of the mo-
torcycle without a licence is illegal and
could lead to prosecution.
Operation of the motorcycle without
formal training in the correct riding
techniques that are necessary to be-
come licenced is dangerous and may
lead to loss of motorcycle control and
an accident.
Warning
Always ride defensively and wear the
protective equipment mentioned else-
where 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 op-
erated within the legal speed limits for
the particular road travelled. Operating
a motorcycle at high speeds can be po-
tentially dangerous since the time
available to react to given traffic situa-
tions is greatly reduced as road speed
increases. Always reduce speed in po-
tentially hazardous driving conditions
such as bad weather or heavy traffic.
Warning
Continually observe and react to
changes in road surface, traffic and
wind conditions. All two-wheeled vehi-
cles are subject to external forces
which may cause an accident. These
forces include but are not limited to:
- Wind draft from passing vehicles
- Potholes, uneven or damaged road
surfaces
- Bad weather
- Rider error.
Always operate the motorcycle at mod-
erate speed and away from heavy
traffic until you have become thor-
oughly familiar with its handling and
operating characteristics. Never ex-
ceed the legal speed limit.
