Default Motorcycle Safety Tips


May is Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month, so we thought we'd get share some advice on safe riding.

Motorcyclists know how much skill is required in riding. You have to be aware of your bike, the road, the traffic around you, and most importantly, yourself, when you get behind the handlebars.

But even the safest, most experienced riders can still make mistakes. That’s why we’re presenting a series of articles on motorcycle safety, because you can never be too safe.

Rider Education, Injuries and Fatalities
Time for a reality check
Whether you have decades of experience or are a newbie, it pays to realistically size up this activity called "riding a motorcycle," and to look at yourself as a lifelong learner.
Insurance Basics
How much coverage do you need?
Are you and your motorcycle insured well enough to satisfy your state's legal guidelines, as well as your own risk tolerance? You owe it to yourself and those who care about you to be sure you are up to date.
The Truth about Drinking and Riding
Some sobering statistics on a dangerous problem
While no one will publicly declare alcohol consumption and motorcycling are OK, there remain definite problems in a culture offering mixed messages.

PLEASE CAN SOMEONE MAKE THIS KNOWN AS I CAN NOT POST A NEW THREAD.

I have had a problem with a defective rear wheel from the factory that caused my rear carrier sprocket to fail after 4500 miles.

The wheel bearings were machined off center and caused excessive movement in the sprocket carrier. If you put your bike on a paddock stand and run it in second gear you will see if the carrier wobbles from side to side.

The early signs were a squeaky carrier seal and later a grove worn in the carrier spacer. Please check your wheel it could be very dangerous

please could someone cut and paste this into a new thread.
