Motorcycles and the open road
The Open Road
Motorcycles are a thrilling way to hit the open road! Whether you're a seasoned rider or just starting out, there's a whole world of bikes and accessories to explore. From sleek sport bikes to rugged adventure bikes, there's something for everyone. And let's not forget the gear - helmets, jackets, gloves, and more to keep you safe and stylish.
Here are some essential motorcycle riding tips to keep you safe and make your rides more enjoyable
Always wear a helmet, gloves, jacket, pants, and boots. Remember, wearing the proper protective gear can make a huge difference in case of an accident.
Be sure to check your Bike before every ride. Inspect your motorcycle tires, brakes, lights, and fluid levels to ensure everything is in good working order. Note: I got caught out in the middle of nowhere with a broken clutch cable. The good thing was that I called my uncle to bring the pickup truck to get me off the side of the highway. This could have been avoided if I had kept the clutch cable lubricate.
Stay Visible, it is up to you to make sure other drivers can see you. It is best to avoid riding in blind spots. If you don't know about the blind spots of big trucks and buses, read up on them. Wear bright or reflective clothing, use your headlights.
Always be aware of your surroundings and anticipate the actions of other drivers ... Ride Defensively. Keep a safe distance from other vehicles and be prepared to react to sudden changes.
Take a Safety Course
Consider taking a motorcycle safety course to improve your riding skills and learn advanced techniques. Remember, riding a motorcycle is all about enjoying the journey while staying safe. Happy riding!
Practice Braking
Learn how to use both the front and rear brakes effectively. Practice emergency stops in a safe area to get a feel for your bike's braking capabilities.
Techniques for good Cornering
When taking a turn, look through the corner to where you want to go, lean with your bike, and maintain a steady throttle. And, stay Relaxed. Keep a relaxed grip on the handlebars and avoid stiffening up. This will help you maintain better control of your motorcycle.
Know Your Limits and Stay Sober
Ride within your skill level and comfort zone. Don't push yourself too hard, especially in challenging conditions or unfamiliar areas. If you are sleepy, take time to rest. (Personal scary event I was sleepy, leaving work ... I put my bike in neutral at one traffic light to rest my eyes for 2 minutes (the time it takes for the light to change). When I opened my eyes to see if the light had changed, I was sitting at another light, in neutral, about 6 mile away douw a winding narral road ... next to a cemetary - talk about scary - it was very scary.) And, Never ride under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Your reaction time and judgment are crucial when riding a motorcycle.

Tractor-trailers, also known as 18-wheelers or semi-trucks, have several blind spots that other drivers should be aware of to stay safe on the road.
Here are the main blind spots
#1 The Front Blind Spot
There's a significant blind spot directly in front of the truck, extending about 20 feet. This is due to the height and length of the truck's hood.#2 The Side Blind Spots
Both sides of the truck have blind spots. The driver's side blind spot extends outward for one lane and almost three-fourths of the way to the back of the trailer. The passenger side blind spot is larger, extending outward for two lanes and past the rear of the trailer.#3 The Rear Blind Spot
There's a large blind spot behind the truck, extending about 30 feet. Trucks do not have rearview mirrors, so the driver cannot see directly behind the trailer.#4 The Below the Cab Blind Spot
There's also a blind spot directly below the truck's cab.In order to stay safe on the road, avoid lingering in these blind spots. Note - If you can't see the truck driver in their side mirrors, they likely can't see you either. Always pass trucks on the left side, where the blind spot is smaller, and give them plenty of space when merging or changing lanes.
If you learn these things and look out for the truckers, they will look out for you!
