GIVE SAFETY THE RIGHT OF WAY
EW000015
Motorcycles are fascinating vehicles, which can give you an unsurpassed feeling of power and freedom. Howev-
er, they also impose certain limits, which you must accept; even the best motorcycle does not ignore the laws of
1 physics.
Regular care and maintenance are essential for preserving value and operating condition of your motorcycle.
Moreover, what is true for the motorcycle is also true for the rider: good performance depends on being in good
shape. Riding under the influence of medication, drugs and alcohol is, of course, out of the question. Motorcycle
ridersmore than car driversmust always be at their mental and physical best. Under the influence of even
small amounts of alcohol, there is a tendency to take dangerous risks.
Protective clothing is as essential for the motorcycle rider as seat belts are for car drivers and passengers. Always
wear a complete motorcycle suit (whether made of leather or tear-resistant synthetic materials with protectors),
sturdy boots, motorcycle gloves and a properly fitting helmet. Optimum protective wear, however, should not en-
courage carelessness. Although full-coverage helmets and suits, in particular, create an illusion of total safety and
protection, motorcyclists will always be vulnerable. Riders who lack critical self-control run the risk of going too fast
and are apt to take chances. This is even more dangerous in wet weather. The good motorcyclist rides safely, pre-
dictably and defensivelyavoiding all dangers, including those caused by others.
Enjoy your ride!

The condition of a vehicle is the owners responsibility.
Vital components can start to deteriorate quickly and unexpectedly, even if the vehicle remains unused (for example, as a result of ex-
posure to the elements).
Any damage, fluid leakage or loss of tire air pressure could have serious consequences. Therefore, it is very important, in addition to a
thorough visual inspection, to check the following points before each ride.
