This is an attempt to synthesize the rules of survival for any biker. Any comments are welcome to clarify these ground rules.
Note: This list is not categorized in order of voluntary importance.
You can choose between V toes or a toe mark protruding. It all depends on your control over your car. In any case, avoid releasing the steering wheel! You also have the right to thank the motorist who provided you with the place.
First of all, someone who has never been installed with you before so you don't lose it on startup.
For and for everything: motorists (and not only those who talk on the phone), especially when driving between queues of cars, oil on the floor, hatches, rain, floor markings, cobblestones, flash ...
Headlights ringing, horn, all is well to prevent the penguin in front of you from suddenly deciding to disconnect, if possible, without blinking or ringing. Good news: In recent weeks, the phone behind the wheel and the lack of a direction indicator when turning has led to fines imposed by the marshal.
Aside from the crime and the fine it can represent, it's crazy that reflexes, feelings are diminished with a little alcohol in the blood and on a motorcycle it's worse than in a car.
Jacket, gloves, trousers, helmet, boots, leather suit ... in short, come out protected. Avoid nylon liners that burn if slipped. Better to have new jeans and jackets than damp leather (and it's ugly to see). However, it is best to avoid laces. This is silly. But the yaw that gets stuck in the gear selector is a guaranteed bowl. I checked. I don't wear lace-up shoes on my motorcycle anymore.
Fatigue comes quickly and ink as soon as there is no body in the event of a fall, so it is always preferable to calmly stop or leave.
For longevity, life and motorcycle. Brakes that release or fail, like a room that breaks free from vibrations ... better prevented.
Here I am talking about what is mandatory (permit, insurance) and the highway code: especially red and even orange lights (just to avoid those who start with your own orange and not their green), turn signals (approved, otherwise we will not see you again), burned stops, overtaking on the right ...
Without going back to the frequent duel, hitting the bar in retro because the motorist didn't let you get through won't change anything but increase the bad overall image of the bikers.
Note: this does not interfere with a little explanation of the next stop.
