REQUIREMENTS BEFORE RIDING.

HE OR SHE SHOULD:

1. OBTAIN THOROUGH INSTRUCTIONS FROM ACOMPETENT SOURCE ON ALL ASPECTS OF

MOTORCYCLE OPERATION.

2. OBSERVE THE WARNINGS AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL.

3. OBTAIN QUALIFIED TRAINING IN SAFE AND PROPER RIDING TECHNIQUES.

4. OBTAIN PROFESSIONAL TECHNICAL SERVICE AS INDICATED BY THE OWNER'S MANUAL

Therefore:

c. Ride where other motorists can see you. Avoid riding in another motorist's "blind spof
