The weather has been quite nice lately, I can tell because I'm hearing the motorcycles out in full buzz.  You can't miss them, they usually drown out the sound of just about everything around you.  

Maybe this is the year that you decide you want to join this illustrious club.  Some thing you need to remember when you decide to take up this sport.  As is with just about anything you do these days, safety is priority one.

The first thing you want to do before you ride, is learn how to ride safely.  There is a lot more to it than balancing on two wheels like you would on a bicycle.

Unfortunately, when you look around, it appears as though many riders have forgotten most of the safety rules.  Well, maybe not forgotten, we'll just say loosely followed.  I stress the word "loosely".

Every year, we hear about so many tragic accidents with motorcycles that could have been prevented.  Let's try to keep that number down!
