Rider fatigue article

Post by frozzie »

Here is an interesting link to an article about rider fatigue. Very informative, I think everyone should read it, for their own safety.

My favourite quote from the article: "No ride is worth your life"

http://members.cox.net/bmw-ldrider/Fatigue.pdf

Enjoy and ride safe!
