Motorcycle Safety

I read just about everyday about someone getting killed on a motorcycle and the big fuss about it, and it's time to take some responsibility for our safety on the road. Two Thirds of motorcycle crashes occur because someone in a car pulls out in front of a motorcycle. Always wear a helmet while riding for starters, I have seen even off duty policemen riding without a helmet and they should know better. They make protective pants and jackets that are armored. Do things to make yourself more visible, never ride in someone's blindspot burn your headlights on bright during the daytime or get a modulator to make it flash, this also seems to help. Get use to stopping with both brakes, the front brake has more stopping power than the rear but use both, that way you use 100% of your stopping power. Take a rider safety course and get properly licensed. Never ride up the road on one wheel you give the rest of us a bad name, same for those of you with loud pipes. I ride a big Bike and most of the people I ride with do the same, the difference in them and me, about 3 or 4 of us ride bikes with very quiet pipes. Riding a bike takes a lot more skill and patience than driving a car, please be careful out there, Ride on but ride safe.http://goldwingman61-goldwings.blogspot.com
