Ride predictably and stay visible. Use signals early, maintain safe following distance, and check mirrors often. Respect speed limits and local laws. Acknowledge other riders with a nod or wave. Never weave through traffic aggressively. Yield to pedestrians and give cyclists room. Be courteous, focused, and ride like you want others to see motorcyclists as safe, skilled, and respectful road users

Wear full protective gear: helmet, jacket, gloves, boots, and pants. Inspect your bike before every ride—tires, brakes, lights, fluids. Ride sober and alert. Keep a safe distance, use both brakes smoothly, and scan for hazards. Stay visible with bright gear and lane positioning. Always ride within your skill and weather limits.
