Expect Trouble, Ride Easy

We’d all like to think that each motorcycle excursion will be incident-free. However, motorcycles are a risky bet if you ride unprepared. Here are a few riding tips to help you be ready for anything:

1. Always carry a tool kit. By packing a basic toolkit, no roadside breakdowns are going to get in the way of a fun ride.

2. Keep your owners manual handy. The owners manual and tool kit go hand-in-hand.

3. Tell others what route you are taking. By letting friends and family know when you leave and arrive, as well as your route, the chances of being found after a back-roads motorcycle crash will be much greater.

4. Keep emergency info easily accessible. This includes your current insurance, health insurance and emergency contact numbers.
