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
these
skills
so
ingrained
in
his
or
her
mind
that
they
become
second
nature.
That's
when
the
riding
really
gets
good.
At
New
River
Gorge
Harley-Davidson,
we
take
your
safety
seriously. |

STAYING
SHARP
For
some,
knowing
your
skill
limits
may
mean
keeping
your
bike
at
home
when
the
weather
is
threatening.
For
others
it
may
mean
choosing
a
route
that
avoids
congested
areas
or
timing
your
departure
to
avoid
rush
hour
traffic.
It
all
depends
on
your
own
skill
set
and
comfort
level.

KNOW
YOUR
LIMITS
There
are
some
rules
that
apply
to
all
riders,
no
matter
the
skill
level.
Riding
in
an
overly
aggressive
manner
is
never
acceptable.
There's
no
excuse
for
jeopardizing
others
by
pushing
your
limits
on
the
street.
Riding
while
tired
is
another
risk
that
no
rider
should
take.
When
you're
tired,
your
reflexes
are
slowed
and
your
judgment
is
not
as
strong
-
a
combination
that
no
motorcycle
rider
can
afford.
Other,
more
obvious
examples
of
behavior
that
should
be
avoided
under
any
circumstances
are
talking
on
a
cell
phone
while
riding
and
looking
at
the
map
while
you're
in
the
saddle.
If
you
get
off
course,
pull
over
to
a
safe
area
to
consult
your
map.
Remember,
out
on
the
open
road,
you
must
take
responsibility
for
all
your
actions,
and
keeping
yourself
safe
should
always
be
your
number
one
concern. |
