If you want to avoid a motorbike crash, you must be ready for everything; we are going to help you with several key tips for a secure bike ride. Were going to speak about protective gear, checking your bike, common mistakes, avoiding hazards and more. These tips will help you prevent motorbike crashes, whether you're a new motorcyclist or an experienced rider.
How do you protect yourself? On every ride, you have to assume that an accident might happen; sometimes its not even your fault so you don't deserve a cracked bone because somebody else made a mistake, and because you forgot to put on your protective gear. Maybe you dont have a full body armor but you should have at least helmet, leather pants, knee and elbow protection, torso protection, gloves, shatterproof goggles. But before you equip with your protections, check out your bike. Check the signals, tires, controls and lights.
The most typical mistakes that lead to a motorcycle crash are as follows: losing control of your motorbike because of liquor or drugs, placing yourself in other vehicles blind spots or staying too close to other vehicles. Dont let anything affect your control over the bike. So avoid alcohol and drugs. Stay at least two seconds away from other cars and always make sure they see you. Another common mistake is tailgating. Tailgating might be fun, but not if you end up in a hospital; too many accidents happen because of people tailgating foolishly, stop doing it, it's not worth it. Passing another vehicle is another unsafe moment. When you're passing constantly signal properly. Communicate with the other drivers and be clear about your intentions.
Paying attention to potential hazards is another significant matter. If youre unaware of the surface condition of the ground youre vulnerable to motorbike crashes. Avoid oil stains on the road. Sometimes you cant see it but if you see motor-trucks on the road thats a clue you should check for oil leakage. Mud on the road is another similar problem. Sometimes you cant see the mud; watch out for nearby construction locations on the country roads. Just slow down and watch out for any suspicious mud or rocks on the road ahead. How is your cornering skill? Sometimes before you corner you cant tell whats coming from the opposite direction. Learn a late apex cornering technique and practice it; that will help you avoid a motorbike crash.
