Biking is an interesting activity that fills you with unending excitement on the road. However, the winter season is a period where bikers have to be extremely careful. This season comes with more delays and accidents due to the snow and ice. One of the important things to do during this season is to ensure your safety by changing the way you drive during these harsh conditions. The following are five safety tips you can use for driving in the winter.
The number of motorcycle accidents keeps rising each year. Some of the primary reasons/excuses given for these accidents are rider’s negligence, poor road conditions, bad weather, and some other unavoidable circumstances. Motorcycle accidents are quite different from an automobile accident; automobiles have fender bender that protects the driver from accidents. But motorcycles have no fender bender, which makes them more prone to accident. This means that whenever a motorcycle is involved in an accident, the rider will have sustained some type of injury that needs to be attended to.
Motorcycle repair and maintenance is an essential part of owning a bike. This is because your bike is constantly exposed to different weather conditions and undergoes a lot of wear and tear that needs to be kept in check. For you to enjoy your bike and extend its lifespan, it is important to have the knowledge of its parts, mode of operation, and general maintenance of your machine.
It’s nearing the end of July, and the summer days are ticking down, which means you’ve got a good two and a half months of great riding weather before it starts turning cold. This is an opportune time to plan at least one or two big riding journeys on your motorbike, if you haven’t already.
There is something of a new trend rising among motorcyclists, and that is the DIY bike repair shop. While this is becoming popular for basic upkeep, you might want to think twice about taking this route if you need to have more extensive repairs done.
If you’ve seen quite a few movies and TV shows where someone is simply riding with jeans, helmet, a leather motorcycle jacket and maybe boots, you’re really only getting half the picture of the gear you need to ride safely.
Summer is officially in full swing, which means more opportunities to have adventures on your motorcycle, whether you’re simply enjoying a leisurely day out, or you are an avid biker headed towards a rally or other similar get-together. Here are some tips for you to have that picture-perfect motorcycle trip.
So, you’ve taken all the required tests for a full motorcycle licence, kept up on training, know the rules of the road, and even have proper riding gear, but the near-unthinkable still happens: you’re involved in a crash with your bike.
Motorcycles are a fun and even eco-friendly way to get around town, do errands, and just have a leisurely ride through the countryside in the spring, if you want to get out of the city for a good while. You’ve earned your licence, picked out the bike of your dreams and you’re ready to get going.
What would the world look like if nobody on the road had accidents, or at least did their part consciously to greatly reduce them? There would be fewer accident claims, of course, and the solicitors put in charge of handling personal injury cases would have to find another area of law to work in.
