Before you ride

No one can predict what will happen on the road, but you can put the odds in your favour if you make sure you and your motorcycle are in top condition before you set out.

Are you roadworthy?

Riding a motorcycle safely is more mentally and physically demanding than driving a car. Use this simple checklist to make sure you're up to it.
Don't ride if:
  • you're tired or unable to concentrate
  • your blood alcohol level is above the legal limit
  • you are under the influence of illegal drugs or any medication that may affect your riding ability.
Think very carefully about riding if you:
  • are not in the right frame of mind to be alert and careful
  • haven't slept well
  • are stressed
  • feel unwell or emotionally upset.
