Motorcycling is a unique experience. Compared to a car, you don’t sit in a motorcycle, you become part of it. Not as a passive driver, but as an active rider arcing into a string of smooth corners, playing along with the rhythm of the road; shifting, accelerating, and braking with precision. Whether you ride to and from work or prefer the camaraderie of a group ride on the weekend, motorcycling engages all your senses and creates an invigorating sense of freedom. Along with that freedom comes responsibility. All states require some form of license endorsement demonstrating you possess a minimum level of skill and knowledge. This booklet and other motorcycle publications can help prepare you to be successful. You might also consider taking a formal hands-on training course, even if your state doesn’t require that you complete one. You’ll learn how to improve your riding skills and mental strategies, so you can be a safer, more alert rider. Wear the Right Gear When you ride, your gear is “right” if it protects you. In any crash, you have a far better chance of avoiding serious injury if you wear: • A DOT compliant helmet. • Face or eye protection. • Protective clothing KNOW YOUR MOTORCYCLE There are plenty of things on the highway that can cause you trouble. Your motorcycle should not be one of them. To make sure that your motorcycle won’t let you down: • Start with the right motorcycle for you. • Read the owner’s manual. • Be familiar with the motorcycle controls. • Check the motorcycle before every ride. • Keep it in safe riding condition between rides. • Avoid add-ons and modifications that make your motorcycle harder to handle.
