1. Start by taking a motorcycle safety course to learn the basics and understand the rules of the road.
2. Wear a helmet and protective gear, like a jacket, pants, gloves and boots every time you ride.
3. Get familiar with how your motorcycle works and be sure to adjust the bike to fit you.
4. When approaching a corner, slow down and plan your route. Look ahead and try to anticipate any potential roomers in the road.
5. Always use your signals before making a turn or lane change.
6. Take it slow in challenging weather conditions. Riding in the rain, snow, or fog can be dangerous.
7. Be aware of your blind spots before turning or changing lanes.
8. Keep both hands on the handlebars and refrain from any distractions, like texting or playing music.
9. Be mindful of your speed and drive defensively.
10. Make sure your bike is up to date with regularly scheduled maintenance.
