7 Safety Tips Seasoned Riders Swear By

Being a daredevil and living it large is what many may have sought for years now. But there can be other major things that can be sued to gratify your ultimate biking experience. As you ride along, you gain more and more experience, but then there is nothing better than learning from the pros, listening to them and reading what they have to share. Here are tips from the top bikers you cannot miss. May be there is something that was missing in our ultimate riding experience.

Try Capturing the eye
Try not wearing Brown and Black. If you blend in, no one will notice you. So try bright colors, which can turn heads around. Try nylon west with neon reflectors, this may bring some nice style to you- Diva Amy Skaling, Drove 70,000+ miles on her Diva Glide in almost five years.

Right Gloves Matter
My smaller hands have a harder time maneuvering the clutch. This is important when you think about what elements affect your reactions in an emergency situation. I look for thinner leather gloves for better control...but then my fingers often get cold. Heated grips fixed that problem. While in the summers, I dig out my old horse riding gloves, they are made up of thinner leather and are reasonably priced. My Harley gauntlet gloves for cool weather riding are a complete love - Michelle Radcliffe, Rode her Street Glide through South Africa, Rome, Malaysia and Singapore with Davidson.

Ride with those who you Trust
It may be a no-brainer, but asking yourself how often you ride with someone who had been intoxicated, showing off or didn't know how to handle their bike or the situation they were in? I try never to share lands and usually drive alone. It is the best form of safety and will save you from someone else more than this one - Masyn Moyer, Rider for 25+ years.

Keep cushion between You and other riders
Try never to drive too close to others, in harsh weather as well as on a straight road. A 20-foot cushion may do the trick - Lisa Bone, Logged 52,000 miles in last few years.

Always leave some room to escape
When I come to a signal and stop, I stay in gear and always watch the traffic coming up around and behind me. I also try to always leave room for an escape route so that other In emergency may pass with ease and there is room to start fresh if needed- Tigra Tsujikawa Powersports Industry Professional and Enthusiast.

Ride Your Own Ride
Always drive at speeds you are comfortable with, no matter you are driving alone or in a group - Christine Paige-Diers, Sturgis Motorcycle Museum & Hall of Fame.

Feathering your clutch on Tighter Turns

Although you drive with or without a clutch, it may lead to tipping your bike when making moves such as turning into a parking lot, or making a U-turn and following a group of riders who are driving slow. Feathering your clutch may provide you with the ability to take turns with the correct momentum - Jessi Combs, Rider for 24 years.
