Motorcycle Safety Classes

Motorcycle Safety Classes Why taking a Safety Class is a good idea We have all had someone (friend or stranger) come up to us and tell us they wish they could ride or that they want to learn to ride or that they are going to buy a bike one day. Most of us say that is nice and go on our own way. Most of us have also had a friend or relative that has come and asked us to teach them to ride. Depending on who is asking, sometimes we do take the time to help and sometimes we refer them to someone else. In my opinion, the correct answer to both these situations would be to suggest that the person take the local Rider Safety Class. Now, not all of these fine folks will, but if you […]

Motorcycle Safety and Awareness Month

Motorcycle Safety and Awareness Month The History of Motorcycle Safety and Awareness Month Today is May 1 st and that is the first day of Motorcycle Safety and Awareness Month. So, I thought I’d give a little history on May Motorcycle Safety and Awareness Month. Motorcycle Awareness Month was started in the early 1980s by AMA (American Motorcycle Association) and it was quickly adopted by many State Motorcycle-Rights organizations, government entities, and Clubs. The focus of it was to educate Non riders about Motorcycles in the hopes that they come more aware of riders and there will be less “I Didn’t See Him/Her” accidents. The Safety part was added because we also need to educate Riders on safe riding practices. Unsafe riders can be a danger to no only themselves but other road users. The reason May was selected is […]

Motorcycle Safety Tips During Road Construction Season

Motorcycle Safety Tips During Road Construction Season Motorcycle Safety Tips During Road Construction Season | National General Insurance Motorcycle Safety Tips During Road Construction Season Watch for uneven pavement, as well as rough or grooved surfaces. Before repaving begins, surfaces need to be prepped properly, and this can create dangerous riding conditions. Be careful and reduce your speed if you encounter these pavement conditions, as they can cause your bike to tilt your bike unexpectedly or pull to one side suddenly. Pay attention to cones and barrels. Although they are commonly used to route traffic in construction zones, cones and barrels are often hit by cars or trucks accidentally, causing them to tip over or be pushed into your lane. Watch carefully for these hazards, which can be dangerous if you accidently hit them. Be aware of sudden traffic stops. When traffic congestion […]

Staying Hydrated on the Road

It’s a hot summer day, the sun is brilliant without a cloud in the sky. It’s hot and humid and you have places to go. I’ve heard stories from bikers about “that one time I almost passed out” or when they got off the bike and had to sit down because their head was swimming. Dehydration and heat stroke are no joke, they can lead to brain damage and even death. Risk of death from heat stroke is 60% higher when non exercise induced. Even mild dehydration manifests in ways that are dangerous on the road. Less mental acuity, slowed reactions, increased fatigue and grumpiness. Riding should be fun and safe! By the time you notice these symptoms, it's already too late and you will need to break for a while until your rehydrated. Staying hydrated is important, and even […]

First Things First

By: James R. Davis You are trained and competent at both CPR and First Aid and you come upon a scene that obviously requires you to perform one or both of these services. What is the FIRST thing that you should do? At a recent monthly meeting of the Houston chapter of the Lone Star Ladies there was a discussion of this topic that left me very uncomfortable. The reason for this is that I heard suggestions that ranged from "Start CPR immediately" to "Make sure the victim can breath." I, on the other hand, suggested that the very first thing that should be done is to arrange to have 911 called. The members unanimously found fault with that suggestion. While I understand their desire and goodwill in the matter, I think it is important to think this through a […]
