Riding in the rain safely is a matter of dressing properly, understanding traction, making sure you can see, and making that you are seen.  Seeing and being seen are bigger concerns
than traction.

Welcome to the "How To Survive on a Motorcycle" page. The old saying goes... there are two kinds of riders... those who have already crashed... and those who will. Unfortunately, it seems to be true. Let me say up front that the tips you are about to read are NOT the end-all or be-all of safety information, but rather an accumulation of proven tips contributed by a vast group of experienced and seasoned riders from all over the globe. Some of the tips you'll already know... some not. In this sport... knowledge and a sharp mind are prerequisites to staying alive. My hope is that after perusing these tips, at the very least, you'll be a safer... more informed rider. When all's said and done, we all know that deep down the hobby that brings us together is godawful dangerous no matter how good we are... or how lucky we are. Thanks to all my riding brethren for the wonderful and even insightful contributions...With that said.... enjoy. Lastly.. if you want to contribute something new, send your tip to pirate@acelink.net |

Motorcycle Safety for Spring
It's springtime, and you're ready to stop dreaming and start riding, but are you really ready? Just because you've kept your battery charged and your carburetor clean, it doesn't mean you're mentally prepared to ride. Regardless of your experience, it will be necessary to re-sharpen your physical and mental skills.
Having confidence as a rider is the key to getting the most out of your motorcycle. You need to feel confident in your handling skills; your risk awareness skills and; your ability to correctly read and properly react to developing traffic and road situations. |

GREENVILLE, S.C. - Some motorcyclists in South Carolina drive for years without a license because state law allows them to repeatedly renew their beginner's permits.
"I'm ashamed to say it, but I've got some friends that for over 15 years renewed permits instead of taking the test and getting a license," said Fred Ruddock, state coordinator of the motorcycle group A Brotherhood Against Totalitarian Enactments of South Carolina, or ABATE.
South Carolina law sets no limit on how many times motorcyclists can renew their permits.
But that does not pose a danger to the drivers or the public, said state Department of Motor Vehicles spokeswoman Beth Parks. |

We found this article on http://www.news.com.au/story/0,10117,18318775-29277,00.html and if nothing else, it offers a good definition of a "squid". I have personally never heard it quite explained like this before. Sobering - spend the money on gear!!!
MOTORCYCLISTS risk ending up a "sticky boneless mess" if they crash while not wearing proper safety gear, a senior Victoria Police traffic officer says. Assistant Commissioner for Traffic Noel Ashby issued the warning today ahead of this weekend's Superbikes grand prix at Phillip Island, southeast of Melbourne. Police are preparing for hundreds of motorcyclists from across the state, NSW, the ACT and Queensland to travel through Victoria to the event. |
