Important Motorcycle Safety Tips

​Riding a motorcycle can be exhilarating, but at the same time it can be incredibly dangerous. 

Here are some important tips to consider. 

Always wear a helmet: Wearing a helmet is one of the most important things you can do to protect yourself while operating a motorcycle. 

Wearing Protective Gear: In Addition to wearing an approved helmet, it's important to wear protective gear such as leather or approved motorcycle jackets, gloves, and boots. 

Motorcycle Maintenance: It's important to maintain your motorcycle by performing regular maintenance such as checking the brakes, tires, and lights. 

Defensive Rider: It's important for riders to be aware of their surroundings. Be sure to keep a safe distance from other vehicles, avoid blind spots, and use your horn when needed to alert other drivers of your presence. Also avoid distractions such as cell phone use.

Follow Traffic Laws and Rules: Be sure to have a good understanding of the traffic rules and laws. 

Understanding and operating a Motorcycle: Have a clear understanding and know how to properly ride a motorcycle. Consider taking an approved motorcycle safety course (insurance companies typically will offer an insurance discount on the motorcycle policy).
