Safety Tips for New Motorcycle Riders

If you have little experience riding a motorcycle but are eager to get on the road, make sure safety is your number one priority. Remember that you are more vulnerable in dangerous situations than other drivers on the road. Rotorhead Lubes in Brunswick can help keep you safe on your motorcycle with some easy to remember tips.

Buy the Right Bike

Choosing the right motorcycle is very important in ensuring your safety on the road. Do some research on different types of bikes and what they're suited for. Check out different models and make sure you feel comfortable on them. If you're a new rider, you might do better with a lighter bike to start. A heavier bike might be harder to maneuver and balance for someone just starting out.

Wear the Right Gear

Before you head out on your new bike, make sure you have the appropriate gear for a safe ride. Start off by purchasing a properly fitting helmet. A helmet with a face shield is a good choice since it will protect your eyes from the wind as you ride. If your helmet doesn't protect your face, make sure to wear goggles. Make sure to cover up and stay protected by wearing a jacket and long pants. Boots are also strongly recommended in order to avoid foot and ankle injuries. Gloves can also protect your hands from the elements and ensure a comfortable ride.

Take a Safety Course

Even if you're not required to take a motorcycle safety course, it's definitely not a bad idea. A safety course can help you get comfortable maneuvering your bike before heading out on the open road. An instructor will help you learn how to avoid dangerous situations and how to act if you find yourself in a dangerous situation. You can also learn about motorcycle maintenance in order to help keep your motorcycle in great riding condition.
