Hey Ronnie, I don't face any problem with my bike because it's very new. Guys, I have a question what kind of safety do you need to take at the time of riding? |

Jasper, MO | If you have not already done so, I suggest you take a motorcycle safety course. A lot of being "safe" on a motorcycle is learning situational awareness and proper response. In my 54 years of riding, I have come to believe that most of the hazards of riding come from the other, non-motorcycle, traffic around you. You need to learn to be aware, alert, and know what to do when people in cars are posing a hazard to your well being.
Good riding gear is recommended, and primary in importance is a helmet. I wear mine even when in States that do not require them. In my 54 years of riding, I have had the misfortune to see what can often happen when a rider goes down without a helmet on. It's not pretty.
At a bare minimum, I highly recommend a helmet, sturdy boots, and full length jeans. You'll find out why the first time you walk up to your bike and put a bare leg against a hot pipe. A mesh riding jacket for hot weather riding is advisable.
Concrete and asphalt make very good meat grinders. A little bit of good riding gear between you and the pavement can make the difference between having a few bruises to your body and your pride, and serious injury.
Any questions, please ask.

Hey Ronnie, I want to give you a like for your great suggestion, but there is no like button. Thanks for your great suggestion. I think it helps me a lot in my life and gives me a perfect safety. I'm too glad to know that you have 54 years of riding experience, and I feel proud to learn something to you.
I must ask some question to you if I need it.
Thanks a lot again. |
