Safe Riding Practices
Follow these general safe riding practices:
• Before each ride, make the checks described in the Pre-Ride Checks section beginning on
page 85. Operating the motorcycle without completing the pre-ride check may cause
damage to the motorcycle or result in an accident.
• Until you’re thoroughly familiar with the VICTORY motorcycle and all of its controls,
practice riding where there is little or no traffic. Practice riding at a moderate speed on
varying road surfaces and under varying weather conditions.
• Know your skills and limits, and ride within them.
• Allow only licensed, experienced operators to ride your motorcycle, and then only after
they have read this manual and become familiar with its controls and operation.
• Do not ride when you’re fatigued or under the influence of alcohol, prescription drugs,
over-the-counter drugs or any other drugs. Fatigue, alcohol and drugs can cause
drowsiness, loss of coordination and loss of balance. They can also affect your awareness
and judgment.
• If your motorcycle operates abnormally, correct the problem immediately (see the
VICTORY service manual or contact your authorized VICTORY dealer).
