1. Maintaining a buffer – to the front – to the rear – to the sides as you ride. Always ride closest to the least hazardous threat!
2. Pre-ride checks: P O W E R……..Petrol, Oil, Water, Electrics, Rubber (tyres).
3. Attitude and Aptitude and Action. Don’t be Drinking, Drugging or be in a Hurry.
4. Continuous improvements eg. safety courses. You are never too old to learn new tricks and never assume you know it all just because you have been riding for the last 30 years.
5. All the gear, All the time. Always wear the correct safety clothing, stick to the rules, maintain your bike and never have a day off from this rule.
Motorbike training safety tips
1. One – on – One motorbike training
Most people get more out of individual lessons; this is a no-brainer. The trainer can help you out and give you more time, in fact all the time you need to feel confident and safe while riding.
2. Communications.
A continuous communication between the trainer and rider so that you can receive all the advice necessary as you are actually riding and not just be left to ride off and then hear the feedback.
3. Incremental training.
This means Offroad, Onroad, Quiet roads, etc. A wide variety to get you started on your riding safety in different situations.
4. The chance to use someone else’s motorbike, ie: the trainer’s, so you can learn to adapt easily and safely and put your training into action.
