Wear Proper Gear: Always wear protective gear such as a helmet, gloves, jacket, pants, and boots designed for motorcycle riding to ensure safety in case of accidents.
Perform Pre-Ride Checks: Before each ride, check your motorcycle's tires, brakes, lights, fluids, and controls to ensure everything is in proper working condition.
Ride Defensively: Be aware of your surroundings and anticipate potential hazards, such as other vehicles, road conditions, weather changes, and pedestrians.
Maintain a Safe Following Distance: Keep a safe distance from vehicles in front of you to allow for enough reaction time and braking distance, especially in traffic or at higher speeds.
Use Turn Signals: Always use your turn signals to indicate your intentions to other motorists, whether you're changing lanes, making turns, or merging into traffic.
Obey Traffic Laws: Follow speed limits, traffic signals, signs, and road markings to ensure safe and legal riding practices, reducing the risk of accidents and citations.
Stay Visible: Make yourself visible to other drivers by wearing bright or reflective gear, using headlights during the day, and positioning yourself in a visible lane position on the road.
Practice Smooth Riding: Use smooth throttle, brake, and clutch control to maintain stability and control of your motorcycle, especially when cornering, braking, or accelerating.
