How to Ride the Motorcycle
Considerations for
High-Speed Operation
General
Ensure the motorcycle has been maintained
according to the scheduled maintenance
chart.
Steering
Check that the handlebar turns smoothly
without excessive free play or tight spots.
Ensure that the control cables do not restrict
the steering in any way.
Luggage
Make certain that any luggage containers are
closed, locked and securely fitted to the
motorcycle.
Ensure panniers are evenly loaded.
Ensure the motorcycle is not overloaded.
Warning
This Triumph motorcycle should be
operated within the legal speed limits for
the particular road travelled. Operating a
motorcycle at high speeds can be
potentially dangerous since the time
available to react to given traffic situations
is greatly reduced as road speed increases.
Always reduce speed in consideration of
weather and traffic conditions.
Warning
Only operate this Triumph motorcycle at
high speed in closed-course on-road
competition or on closed-course racetracks.
High-speed operation should only then be
attempted by riders who have been
instructed in the techniques necessary for
high-speed riding and are familiar with the
motorcycle's characteristics in all
conditions.
High-speed operation in any other
circumstances is dangerous and will lead to
loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
Warning
The handling characteristics of a
motorcycle at high speed may vary from
those you are familiar with at legal road
speeds. Do not attempt high-speed
operation unless you have received
sufficient training and have the required
skills as a serious accident may result from
incorrect operation.
Warning
The items listed are extremely important
and must never be neglected. A problem,
which may not be noticed at normal
operating speeds, may be greatly
exaggerated at high speeds.
