It's
Raining
and
It's
Dark
Outside...Now
What? |

To
help
you
prepare
for
riding
through
extreme
conditions
such
as
heat,
rain,
and
cold,
we
would
like
to
familiarize
you
with
some
things
to
keep
in
mind.
There
is
a
lot
more
to
riding
safely
than
you
might
think.
Even
riders
who
have
logged
thousands
of
miles
on
the
road
can
benefit
by
brushing
up
on
their
safety
skills.
The
conscientious
rider
will
have
visibility,
positioning,
and
S.E.E.
strategies
so
ingrained
in
his
or
her
mind
that
they
become
second
nature.
That’s
when
the
riding
really
gets
good.
At
Harley-Davidson
of
West
Virginia,
we
take
your
safety
seriously.

This
week,
we'll
explore
Visibility. |

Visibility
–
One
disadvantage
motorcycles
have
compared
to
cars
is
that
they’re
less
visible.
Taking
steps
to
increase
your
visibility
is
important
in
managing
your
riding
risk.
Here
are
some
easy
ways
to
increase
your
visibility:

Black
has
long
been
a
popular
fashion
choice
among
Harley®
riders,
but
sometimes
dark
colors
can
be
hard
to
see.
If
bright,
highly
visible
clothing
does
not
suit
your
taste,
consider
adding
a
few
well-placed
pieces
of
reflective
tape
to
your
gear,
especially
at
night.
Harley-Davidson
also
offers
apparel
with
reflective
taping
such
as
a
conspicuity
vest,
rain
gear,
jackets,
and
caps. |

Make
sure
your
turn
signals
are
working
properly
–
and
use
them.
In
addition,
consider
using
hand
signals
in
situations
where
you
want
to
make
absolutely
sure
a
driver
knows
your
intentions. |
|
| |
|
|
|
If
you
want
to
make
sure
the
driver
behind
you
knows
what
you’re
up
to,
consider
flashing
your
brake
lights
as
you
prepare
to
stop.
|
| |
|
|
Use
your
horn
to
help
draw
attention
to
yourself
when
necessary.
But
don’t
rely
on
it
or
overuse
it.
