A simple bike ride is at times a very fulfilling experience.
You experience waves of thrill and passion, and you keep speeding up while your adrenaline levels rise more and more.
But a safe motorbike drive requires skill.
When we become skilled it makes us feel good and proud and we're eager to be the best.
That's the main cause to why we drive bikes.
That's also the cause to why we sometimes get drifted away and that fulfilling experience turns into a motorbike crash.
In this article I'm going to write about avoiding motorbike crashes while sustaining the thrill and enthusiasm to the upper limit.
First, check your bike before you ride it.
I assume you take good care of your bike; after all it's your baby, besides your girl.
Check your lights, your mirrors, horn, signals, oil, fuel, controls and don't forget the tires.
Put on your armor and helmet and prepare to drive.
Motorcyclists get into crashes too often because they lose control of their cycle.
Loss of control happens primarily because of shunts and ground surface conditions.
But if you leave enough room between you and the cars in front and behind, you'll avoid most shunts.
With surface condition it's different, because sometimes you can see the mud or oil leaks on the road and sometimes you can't.
Nevertheless, you have hints for some of these.
If there are motor trucks on the road there could be diesel leakage, if you see building grounds there could be mud.
Driving in stormy conditions is challenging enough so you better have thoroughly checked tyres or you might become a new YouTube motorbike crashes superstar.
Overtaking is another challenge for any motorcyclist; you have to estimate the speed and distance while riding a bike you're accustomed to.
With a new motorbike you have to take time to discover the way it reacts to breaking and accelerating in various gears.
Try to prevent overtaking when you're near joints, pedestrian crossways and bends.
For every overtake you need to see everything around you so don't assume anything.
Drive cautiously on country roads.
You probably did your training on a town road.
Some bends tighten up to a greater extent than you'd expect so slow down before the twist.
Send signals to the other drivers and avoid blind spots.
A motorbike crash can easily happen just because a motor truck driver didn't see you.
Use visible apparel and a headlamp.
Bike riding is a risky sport and you should sweat a little if you want a secure ride.
No pain no gain.
But as long as you do it, you'll get to enjoy driving at minimum risk with zero motorbike crashes.
