A SAFETY INFORMATION
TWO-WHEELED MOTORCYCLES ARE SINGLE TRACK VEHICLES. THEIR SAFE USE AND OPERATION ARE DEPENDENT UPON THE USE OF PROPER RIDING TECHNIQUES AS WELL AS THE EXPERTISE OF THE OPERATOR. EVERY OPERATOR SHOULD KNOW THE FOLLOWING

Many
accidents involve inexperienced operators.
In fact,
many
operators
who have been
involved
in
accidents do not even have a current motorcycle license.
Make sure you are qualified. Also, only lend your motorcycle to experienced operators.
Know your skills and limits. Staying within your limits may help you to avoid an accident.
We recommend that you practice riding your motorcycle where there is no traffic until you have bec.
come thoroughly familiar with your motorcycle and all of its controls.
