Motorcycles are fascinating vehicles, which can give you an unsurpassed feeling of power and freedom.

nore the laws of physics.
Regular care and maintenance are essential for preserving your motorcycle’s value and operating condition. Moreover, what is true for the motorcycle is also true for the rider: good performance depends on being in good shape. Riding under the influence of medication, drugs and alcohol is, of course, out of the
question. Motorcycle riders – more than car drivers – must always be at their mental and physical best.
Under the influence of even small amounts of alcohol, there is a tendency to take dangerous risks.
Protective clothing is as essential for the motorcycle rider as seat belts are for car drivers and passengers.
Always wear a complete motorcycle suit (whether made of leather or tear-resistant synthetic materials
with protectors), sturdy boots, motorcycle gloves and a properly fitting helmet. Optimum protective wear,
however, should not encourage carelessness. Though full-coverage helmets and suits, in particular, create an illusion of total safety and protection, motorcyclists will always be vulnerable. Riders who lack critical self-control run the risk of going too fast and are apt to take chances. This is even more dangerous in
wet weather. The good motorcyclist rides safely, predictably and defensively – avoiding all dangers, including those caused by others.
