Motorcycle Safety is some basic principles to every rider, One particular study conducted in 1990 from the University of Southern California showed that out of 900 motorcycle crashes, 980 head and neck injuries occurred and the results still apply to today. No one wants to think about having an accident, but these things do happen and with a motorcycle.
Here are simple motorcycle safety tips before you riding :
1. Wear a helmet
The largest factor from injury head is many riders believe that it is their constitutional right to have the freedom to wear a helmet or not. Without a helmet, your chance of surviving a motorcycle accident is not very high. Choose helmets that are full-faced. These offer a lot of protection for head-on collisions.
2. Wear a proper outfit
Don’t wear shorts on your motorcycle, there is no protection for your legs at all should you fall, and you will also find that it is easy to burn yourself when your bike is running hot. Remember that every inch of skin should be covered. Some people choose to wear chaps over their jeans for added protection and many motorcyclists choose to wear leather jackets no matter what the weather. Choosing gloves and boots will protect you from “road rash.”
3. Maintain your bike regularly.
Make up a checklist of the important things you should inspect regarding your motorcycle’s safety and performance. Send it to the service center as well every time you cover 5,000 kilometers.
4. Never ride a motorcycle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Remember on the road not only you, don’t damage other people with uncontrolled drive.
5. Follow all rules of the road and don’t speed.
Nearly 40 percent of riders killed were speeding.
