Ride Fit

Riding a motorcycle takes skill, concentration, and being alert and aware of your environment and options at all times. Skilled riders:

    • identify potentially hazardous situations/conflicts

    • make intelligent judgements about the best action to take

    • execute based on decisions, quickly and skillfully

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that your ability to operate a motorcycle optimally, perform and respond to changing road and traffic conditions is influenced by how fit you are.

There is a wealth of information in books, magazines, manuals and on the Internet. We're going to talk about two factors that inhibit your ability to think clearly and ride safely:

Alcohol (and this includes drugs)

Fatigue

P.S. Make sure your horse is fit too - ridefit2
