3) Ride how you feel comfortable, not to impress your friends or family.

4) Don't break while cornering. Slow down when taking an unfamiliar route or hitting a curve for the first time. Always expect the unexpected.

4) Look up the Motorcycle Safety Foundation. Take the Basic Rider Course when starting out and the Advanced Rider Course when you feel comfortable riding.

5) Always wear all your gear, especially bright/reflective colors to be seen at night.

6) Respect cagers and accept that you are a minority on two wheels. Ride like you are invisible and everybody is out to kill you.
