SAFE RIDING IN COLD HOT OR WET WEATHER

Safe riding is every bikers responsibility learn the proper skills before its too late. Riding in foul weather requires proper planning and the right skills to be safe. RIDING IN THE RAIN

If you are caught in the rain you need to have the proper skills and the right clothing.

First always check you bike make sure your tires have good thread and the right amount of air. Check your brakes and all lighting.Its always best to check your braking on wet pavement before you take out on a long trip. proper braking means you know how to use both front and rear brakes to stop the vehicle on a wet road.Always wear a good quality rain suit it is very hard to keep your mind on your riding if you are getting wet. You should wear a helmet with a visor it is very painful riding in rain without one.A trick I learned many years ago is to apply lemon pledge to your visor, it repells rain and make it easier to see. wear waterproofboots with slip resistant soles. Learn to stay from the center of the lane, oil collects there and is very slippery. Never drive faster than you can stop with wet pavement.

COLD WEATHER RIDING

Wear warm clothing, layering clothing protect you from the wind.also remember leather is warm and protects you skin if you were to fall. Remember if its below freezing water on the road could be ice and you should never apply brakes on ice.

HIGH WINDS

Heavy winds can cause your bike to move around and cause you to loose control. Be prepared for a gust of wind and act accordingly.

Remember safe riding is ever bikers responsibility.
