Fatigue

Any experienced motorcyclist will tell you that as much as we love to ride, riding a motorcycle is more tiring than driving a car. On long trips, you'll definitely tire sooner and fatigue may affect your control of the motorcycle. Of course, the #1 remedy is not to ride when tired, or at least try to avoid it. Here are a few more tips:

    • Limit your distance - experienced riders seldom ride more than 6 - 7 hours a day.

    • Take rest breaks frequently - stop and get off the bike at least every 2 hours.

    • Protect yourelf from the elements - wind, cold, and rain make you tire even more quickly.      Dress warmly, and carry rain gear. A windshield is worth the cost, especially if you plan to      ride long distances. And last, but certainly not least,

    • Don't use artificial stimulants - drugs and alcohol often lead to greater fatigue and depression      when they start to wear off, and riders are less able to concentrate on the task at hand.

Ride fit...ride easy...RIDE SAFE!
