| SAFETY
TIPS |
| By:
Dave
Harris |
Have
you
given
your
bike
a
good
once
over,
if
not
please
do,
for
the
time
has
come
to
RIDE
AND
HAVE
FUN.
Here
are
some
helpful
reminders
1.
RIDING
GEAR-
A
HELMET
is
the
first
safety
item
you
should
ACQUIR,
they
can
save
a
life,
eye
wear,
jacket,
chaps
and
gloves
are
a
good
start.
Having
a
few
other
items
can
make
a
big
deference
in
comfort
when
you
encounter
bad
weather.
Rain
gear
is
one
of
those
items.
2.
THE
BIKE-
A
good
inspection
before
you
load
your
bike
for
a
long
or
short
trip
is
Highly
and
Strongly
recommended
.
A
good
starting
place
is
the
TIRES.
3
.TIRES-
Inspecting
the
tread
for
nails,
cut,
tread
depth,
uneven
tread
wear.
Finding
any
of
these
problems
means
new
tires.
4.
BREAKS-
A
visual
break
pad
inspection
can
be
done.
Looking
at
the
thickness
of
the
pad
can
be
a
good
indicator
of
break
wear.
Checking
the
rotor
for
deep
scratches
can
also
be
a
good
indicator
you
have
a
break
problem.
Checking
your
break
fluid
levels
can
be
away
of
telling
if
you
have
a
leak
in
your
system
or
a
more
serious
problem.
5.
LIGHTS-
Turn
signals,
break
light,
headlight
low&
high
beam.
A
weak
low
or
high
beam
can
be
a
indication
your
head
light
is
going
bad.
Carrying
a
extra
light
bulb
for
you
turn
signal
and
break
lights
can
get
you
out
of
a
pinch
at
night.
So
get
your
bikes
ready
for
the
up
coming
year.
Please
ride
safe,
ride
often
and
we
will
see
you
on
the
highways
and
byways.
If
you
have
any
questions
please
contact
a
certified
mechanic.
If
you
find
any
of
these
items
in
poor
or
questionable
condition
FIX
IT
IMMEDIATELY

Safety
Officer
