Motorcycle Safety Matters

Whether you’re a new rider or have thousands of miles behind you, safety is always the top priority. Here are a few ideas to help you keep yourself, your loved ones, and others on the road get home safely.

✔️ Rider Education & Training

We work with local partners and training organizations to promote and support state-approved motorcycle safety courses, especially for new riders and those returning after time off the road.

✔️ Defensive Riding Tips

• Assume you are invisible—always ride as if other drivers don’t see you.
• Wear protective gear every time you ride.
• Stay out of blind spots and use your lights wisely.
• Never ride under the influence.
• Stay current on weather conditions and road hazards in rural and urban areas.
