Learn

More than 90% of riders involved in accidents had no formal training. Take a Motorcycle Rider Course to develop good basic riding techniques.

Get Licensed

Nearly half of all motorcycle riders involved in accidents are unlicensed or improperly licensed.

Prepare

Wear appropriate gear for comfort and protection.

Be Seen

Stand out. Wear bright clothing and use reflective material.

Be Awake

Fatigue and drowsiness can impair a motorcyclist's ability to react.

Plan

When riding in a group, determine your route in advance and coordinate it with the other riders.

Inspect

Conduct a safety inspection of your motorcycle before each ride.

Ride Sober

Alcohol and other drugs affect judgment and do not mix with motorcycling.

Obey the Law

Don't speed; know the local traffic laws and rules of the road.

Be Courteous

Be considerate on the road; show courtesy and respect to other drivers.
