Be at One with your Motorcycle

Any biker can spend a protracted amount of time trying to explain to a non-rider (or even to a newcomer to the world of biking) the great feeling that traversing the country by motorcycle brings to them. The sense of freedom and being at one with the motorcycle is really hard to describe, it is a completely different experience to driving a car or other enclosed vehicle. The kind of feeling a ride gives depends a lot on where the biker is, when on a motorcycle you are not shut away from nature and the elements, you are able to smell the forests, fields, rivers you pass, and be able to feel the wind blow by and the sun on your back (on a good day!).

How To Avoid Crash Accidents In Motorcycle

Riding a motorcycle requires skill and judgment. When these abilities are put to good use, we feel delighted and fulfilled – and riding motorcycles becomes an enjoyable and exciting experience.

But the fun of riding motorcycles is sometimes interrupted by accidents, which can actually be prevented and avoided.

Here are the five common causes of motorcycle crashes and the ways to avoid them:

1. Bends on country roads – When driving out of town, you should observe bends and follow the contours of the road, which is often hinted by the line of trees, the path of telegraph poles, or the hedges at the side of the road copying the path of the road.

2. Collisions at Junctions – You should obey traffic signals and know when to stop or proceed at junctions or crossroads. If possible, yield to bigger vehicles trying to cross an intersection.

3. Collisions While Overtaking – When overtaking, you should have a good judgment of your own speed, distance, and acceleration. Most motorcycle crashes happen because riders often have poor judgment of their own vehicle and the vehicle they are trying to overtake. You must have a good knowledge of your motorcycle, how it reacts to acceleration, and the braking system.

Overtaking should be avoided when approaching:

• Bends
• Intersections
• Pedestrian crossings
• Parking areas
• Blind curves
• Dips or hills in the road
• Prohibited lanes (marked by double lines)

4. Loss of Control – Most accidental crashes occurs when motorcycle riders stay too close to the vehicle in front or behind them. With less distance to move or maneuver, motorcycles often lose control when pressed in. To protect yourself, you should give plenty of room for vehicles in front of you or behind you.

5. Road Surface Condition – Another factor, which causes danger to motorcycle riders, is the condition of roads. You should be able to ride motorcycles under different road surface conditions such as concrete road, muddy lanes, gas or oil spills on roads, etc. Weather conditions call also affect your driving. Make sure your tires are in good condition and inflated with the right air pressure.

Motorcycling is a skill that can be learned. The more you ride, the more you learn from the experience. However, it pays to heed the warnings on the road and ride safely to avoid motorcycle accidents that could result to injury or damage.
