Starting – Riding – Parking
Safe motorcycling does not
depend on the motorcycle and
equipment alone.
Your own skill and common-sense
are needed too.
The key to genuine safety on the
road is a sensible balance
between the motorcycle's techni-
cal features and the rider's skill, so
that together they form a single
efficient unit.
Riding safely in traffic calls for a
sense of responsibility to your
passenger and to other road
users.
d Warning:
Do not ride the motorcycle after
drinking alcoholic beverages.
Even small amounts of alcohol
or drugs, particularly if taken
in conjunction with medicines,
will adversely affect your
perception and your ability to
assess situations and make
decisions, and also slow down
your reflexes.
Take to the road now by all means,
but think carefully about every-
thing you do.
