Here is what every motorcycle rider should know how to do;
Get a second job so you have the funds needed to really enjoy/maintain your toy! Or pimp up your boss for a significant raise is a better options.- no extra work hours...
Of course that requires you to be productive and valuable, and I know that is a stretch for much of America
1) put on all the gear all the time, and gear that fits properly
2) approach motorcycle without knocking it over
3) self inspection of brake pads, tires, chain, general condition, oil level etc...(service intervals, know when things are due)
4) mount the motorcycle without knocking it over
5) Know what motorcycle you actually have
6) know where the key goes and how to properly start it
7) know how to ride well
8) practice your riding skills and panic stops/maneuvers til perfection and second nature
9) ride within your own limits and that of conditions
10) know who your mechanic is and bring him pepsi and cookies or donuts...It makes him feel better and more likely to give you more time
I am half fucking with you...
