QGIVE SAFETY THE RIGHT OF WAY

1-1

Motorcycles are fascinating vehicles, which can give you an unsurpassed feeling of power and

freedom. However, they also impose certain limits, which you must accept; even the best

motorcycle does not ignore the laws of physics.

Regular care and maintenance are essential for preserving your motorcycle’s value and operat-

ing condition. Moreover, what is true for the motorcycle is also true for the rider: good perfor-

mance depends on being in good shape. Riding under the influence of medication, drugs and

alcohol is, of course, out of the question. Motorcycle riders - more than car drivers - must

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 hel-

met. Optimum protective wear, however, should not encourage carelessness. Though full-cov-

erage helmets and suits, in particular, create an illusion of total safety and protection, motorcy-

clists 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 motor-

cyclist rides safely, predictably and defensively - avoiding all dangers, including those caused

by others.

Enjoy your ride!
