  • Take your time and don't get in any hurry.
  • Roll the throttle slow and easy.
  • Keep your speeds on the low side.
  • Give yourself plenty of time to see what's going on around you.
  • Give yourself plenty of stopping room, learn to use front and rear brakes together and always remember to pull the clutch lever for that quick stop.
  • When making a turn, always look in the direction you want to go and not where you don't want to end up.
  • Always ride like no one else can see you or knows that you are around.
  • Always give big trucks and all other vehicles the right of way no matter what.
  • Always watch for that person that likes to make left hand turns in front of you.
  • Stop for the yellow light before it turns red and always wait for the light to turn green before taking off.
  • Keep your knees into the wind, shine side up and rubber side down while having fun.
