Rider Safety

Post by ZX9R01 »

There has been a lot of bad press lately so I thought I'd drag up an old post I had and issue it as a press release. Keep an eye out on the news soon!

10 Ways to Be Safe on a Motorcycle

1.) Assume Drivers Can't See You:
What, like they dont see me popping the front wheel up everywhere.

2.) Maintain Safe Spacing:
Yes a good one. Tigerfly has had her bag caught a few times on cars a bit close when we go up the middle.

3.) Anticipate Trouble:
When you hear them yelling and the horns blaring it normally means trouble. Just pin it and get the f**k out of there.

4.) Beware of Oncoming Left Turners:
Especially with the front wheel in the air.

5.) Ride Your Own Ride:
Not touching that one....

6.) Watch Out for Curves:
Chicks walking down the street always get my attention.

7.) Don't Give In to Road Rage:
Keep the fight going till you win. Never walk away a looser. If all else fails get on yer bike and refer to rule 3

8.) Don't allow Tailgating:
Whats wrong with Tailgator.....

9.) Don't Be Blinded by Sunglare:
just lift the front wheel a bit higher. Blocks the sun every time.

10.) Avoid Riding at Night:
It normally cold so just rug up.. oh and lift the front wheel. Its a windbreak too....

There you go. 10 sensible tips to make it better for everyone.

Hope that helps some of you.
