Be a Responsible Rider
Know your gear, your bike, your skills and your riding strategy. It’s up to you to take responsibility for your own safety. Always have a way out of dangerous situations by allowing yourself time and space when riding. Be courteous to others on the road.
Improve Your Skills
Take a beginner or experienced rider course to learn behaviors and maneuvers to ride safely. Completing a rider course waives the riding skills test for your Motorcycle License Endorsement. Many insurance companies offer discounts for those who have recently completed a course.
Inspect Your Bike
Establish a safety inspection routine for your bike before and after each ride. Use T-CLOCS to help you remember Tires/Wheels, Controls, Lights, Oil/Fluids, Chassis and Stands.
