Safety is
No Accident.

 
 

Safe and enjoyable motorcycling is no accident. It is realized through a combination of physical skills, perceptive abilities, environmental awareness and an attitude that respects what is known and maintains readiness for what is unknown. In a world where even minor crashes can prove deadly, it is imperative that a motorcyclist prepare through training, education and persistent and effective skills development and threat perception.
