Motorcycle Safety: Before You Ride Your Motorcycle Checklist

before you ride your motorcycle checklist

Riding a motorcycle can be not only be fun, but a convenient and money-saving form of transportation. However, motorcyclists face high levels of risk while driving, notably motorcycle accidents. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), 4,985 motorcyclists were killed in the U.S. in 2018. Because motorcyclists and their passengers are extremely exposed while driving, increasing their risk of injuries in the event of an accident, it is important for motorcycle riders to take every caution before they take off to make sure their equipment, passengers, and themselves are equipped and road-ready. To read through the NHTSA's safety tips to remember before you ride your motorcycle, look through our infographic checklist below!
