Motorcycle Safety Tips: Strategies for Safe Riding

At Hot Metal Harley-Davidson, we are firm believers in responsible and safe motorcycle use. Sadly, motorcycles are often seen as an inherently unsafe means of transportation. To help break this stereotype, we have prepared various tips below to help promote the safe usage of motorcycles.

1. Don’t Take Risks on the Road

There are many possible risks that you can take as a biker. Driving through the middle of a heavy lane of traffic, for example, might not be the best idea. Then, there are other possible risks such as driving in bad weather, on poorly-paved roads, and so on.

2. Make Sure Your Bike is Serviced

One of the most important things for you to do as a responsible Harley owner is to ensure that you keep your bike up-to-date with all the proper maintenance checks. This includes things like tires, brakes, fluids, and all necessary regular maintenance needs. Go right here to learn about the different new and pre-owned motorcycles that are easy to service.

3. Wear Visible Clothing

As a biker, you are naturally a lot harder to see on the road. Therefore, it’s important to take the proper steps of precaution to make sure that other people on the road can see you. Wear bright colors (especially during the night), attach extra reflectors to your bike, and so on.

4. Ride While Awake & Sober

This one is usually pretty straightforward. However, keep in mind how important it is to do your riding while you are awake, alert, and sober. Don’t drive late hours at night when you would otherwise be sleeping. If you have been drinking, find another way to transport your home safely.

5. Always Wear Your Helmet

In many municipalities around the USA, the rider needs to wear a motorcycle helmet just to fulfill their legal obligations. In the state of Pennsylvania, there are certain circumstances where you can legally ride without a helmet. For safety purposes, though, it is always a good idea to wear a helmet.
