The compilation of these motorcycling tips and techniques has been created for bikers who are not in the UK. Consequently the diagrams have been drawn for bikers who ride on the right hand side of the road. Those visitors to this site who would like left hand drive versions of these diagrams please visit Motorcycle Riding Techniques.
The views expressed at this site are purely personal and have been drawn from a variety of sources. The main purpose of the ideas expressed here is to encourage bikers to think more about their riding technique and to adopt a smooth, capable and defensive style of riding. Also to have as much fun out of biking as possible while living to tell the tale!
You must take each idea and suggestion on its own merit and decide whether it makes sense to include in your own repertoire of riding techniques.The decision to adopt these techniques is entirely yours and the techniques are presented on this basis.
The material here is copyrighted to Raymond Wood of DataCraft Development Company. If you wish to receive a complete copy of all the diagrams and text then simply contact me and these will be provided free of charge as long as no pecuniary gain is incurred through their use.
It is the brotherhood of bikers around the world that have helped me achieve my present level of knowledge and expertise in biking. This website is, in some small way, a payback for their help as well as passing on the concepts to others. I hope you find something useful here - even if you adopt just one of the techniques or tips that are presented here then it will have been a worthwhile exercise. Consider that some of the skills detailed here could save your life.
Although biking is great fun, it is not a game and should not be taken lightly. Motorbikes have a nasty habit of turning around and biting you in the arse if you don't give them 110% of your concentration while riding.
An good principle to adopt while riding is to continually expect the unexpected and foresee the unforeseeable.
Safe biking and keep the shiny side up!
