  • DRESS FOR THE SLIDE NOT THE RIDE! What does that mean? Wear your protective gear any time you ride your motorcycle. A helmet, armored jacket, long pants, and closed toed shoes will go a long way in protecting your body if you lay your bike down or are struck and thrown by a vehicle. As always, make sure you have the proper training and license to operate a motorcycle and practice defensive driving.

  • No way! Though motorcyclists can sometimes engage in dangerous activity on the road, like excessive speeding and lane splitting, they often practice defensive driving more often than other drivers. If you’ve been in a motorcycle accident, make sure you or a witness calls the police in order to document the scene and to obtain an official police report. This will help determine which party is at fault in the accident.
