Maintaining Motorcycle Safety

When riding a motorcycle, you have to take many safety defenses into your own hands to ensure your safety. Some things you should be doing include:

• Always wear protective motorcycle gear, such as a helmet, gloves and riding leathers.
• Train yourself to use the rear brake first then the front brake. Applying the front brake first may lead to more severe injuries.
• Check the weather and the overall riding conditions.
• Prevent distractions from cellphones, the radio and other things that take your attention off the road.

Avoid Mental Distractions

Keep in mind that when you ride a motorcycle, you need to be more alert than anyone else on the road, so make sure your mental acuity is at its best. Pay close attention to the cars around you and attempt to anticipate each drivers future moves.

Also, do not ride your motorcycle if you are emotionally upset or angry. This can be distracting and increase the risk of being in an accident.
