"Once you're on track,
you can never go back when you fail"

Riding a motorcycle requires a continuous understanding of safety and an ability to adapt to complex situations.

Controlling the machine:
You must master the physical act of riding, including balance, braking, and maneuvering in all conditions. A basic skills course is a first step, but continuous practice is necessary to build true proficiency.

Reading the road:
A skilled rider learns to anticipate hazards by constantly scanning the road ahead, checking mirrors, and looking for escape routes. This includes identifying potential dangers like potholes, gravel, oil slicks, and distracted drivers.

Knowing the risks:
Motorcyclists are far more vulnerable in a crash than drivers of passenger cars. Understanding this vulnerability is the first step toward riding with a heightened sense of caution.


The importance of knowing your limits
A rider must be honest with themselves about their experience and comfort level.
