Starting – Riding – Parking
Your first journey
Safe motorcycling doesn’t
depend on the bike alone.
Your own skill and common-
sense are needed too.
The key to genuine safety on
the road is a sensible balance
between the bike’s technical
features and the rider’s skill, so
that together they form a single
efficient unit.
Riding safely in traffic or off-
road calls for a strong sense of
responsibility and respect for
the needs of other road users
and pedestrians.
d Warning:
Do not ride the motorcycle af-
ter drinking alcoholic bever-
ages. Even small amounts of
alcohol or drugs, particularly
if taken in conjunction with
medicines, will adversely
affect your perception and
your ability to assess situa-
tions and make decisions,
and also slow down your re-
flexes.
Take to the road now by all
means, but think carefully about
everything you do.
