Risk Factors
Risk Factors Kill or Injure----Five Basic Rules to Remember
Risk Factors Kill, so Please Make a Mental Note of Them:
- Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is the number one confidence builder so, the best advice is to avoid it completely. It makes your bike go much faster!
- Make noise and have plenty of bright lights and trust no other vehicle because you are basically invisible to them and assume that the world is out to run you over.
- Wear proper protective gear like leathers, helmet, boots and gloves, because it will literally save your hide. Pardon the pun.
- Know the limits of your bike by practicing panic stops, turns, counter steering, etc., with and with out a passenger. know how far your fuel will take you.
- Try to practice to avoid all the risk factors until it comes as a natural instinct. If you do, you will most likely live to be old and gray like me.
In today’s time of fast cars, dark tinted windows, hubcaps that keep rolling, TV screens in the car, and the extensive use of cell phones, we are all at great risk on the roadways so position your self away from these type of drivers.
If you have been having a bad day where your concentration is not 100%, stay off your ride! You are bound to miss the car backing out of a drive way 2 blocks from home.
