Motorcycle Safety 3
Important Safety Information
Make Yourself Easy to See
Some drivers do not see motorcycles because they are not looking for them. To
make yourself more visible, wear bright reflective clothing, position yourself so
other drivers can see you, signal before turning or changing lanes, and use your
horn when it will help others notice you.
Ride within Your Limits
Pushing limits is another major cause of motorcycle crashes. Never ride beyond
your personal ab
ilities or faster than conditions warrant. Remember that
alcohol, drugs, fatigue, and inattention can significantly reduce your ability to
make good judgments and ride safely.
Don’t Drink and Ride
Alcohol and riding don’t mix. Even one drink can reduce your ability to respond
to changing conditions, and
your reaction time gets worse with every additional
drink. So don’t drink and ride, and don’t let your friends drink and ride either.
Keep Your Honda in Safe Condition
It’s important to keep your motorcycle properly maintained and in safe riding
condition. To help avoid problems, inspect your motorcycle before every ride
and perform all recommended maintenance. Never exceed load limits (page 44),
and do not modify your motorcycle (page 5) or install attachments that would
make your motorcycle unsafe (page 4).
