 Biker Safety



PERSONAL SAFETY
We are all aware of the greatest safety risk currently threatening us. 
That is our health in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic ravaging the world.
Accordingly we adhere to the recommendations such as:
1. social distancing
2. frequent cleansing
3. wearing face masks in public
4. watching out for symptoms and getting tested if required
5. self-isolation if necessary

VEHICLE SAFETY
1. Make sure your motorcycle is maintained properly, either by a trusted mechanic or your favourite Harley workshop
2. Check your tyre pressure
3. Check your battery. It may need charging if you have not ridden recently
4. Check oil level and fuel
5. Check your licence and insurance is up to date

SKILLS SAFETY
1. Check the condition of your gear - helmet, jacket, gloves and boots
2. Refresh your riding skills
3. Recall your pack rider training
