quick check list.
Things that you can easily check before riding.
(1) Always wear good protective and highly visable clothing.
(2) Never ,and I mean never ride under the influence of alcohol or drugs.Riding when you are overtired is best avoided where poss,.
(3)Always where a good helmet.Laws will differ in some countries, but personally I have seen to many head injuries to not where one.
(4) Ride defensively.Renember that motorists just dont notice you. Hence that first sentence from their mouths after,hopefully, you have just picked yourself up off the ground is.'Sorry Mate I did Not See You'
(5) Know the capabilities of your motorcycle/motorscooter.
