Many bikes left inactive for a number of months could be potential motorcycle accident hazards. Some motorcyclists do not use their motorcycles everyday. Some let their bikes hibernate for the winter and opt to take to the open roads again when the sun begins to shine. However, when dusting off your bike following a long, cold winter it is important to give it a proper checking over. Here are a few motorcycle safety checks that you may want to do:
Motorcycle machine safety
Even if the bike still has a current MOT it is well worth giving it a going over. Make sure you check the following before you ride your bike after an extended period of time to lessen the chance of engine failure or faults that could make your bike cause aroad accident:
Also, re-familiarise yourself with the controls and handling of the bike before setting off to reduce the risk of losing control of the bike and causing a motorcycle accident.
Motorcycle safety equipment
Before setting out on the road again make sure that you are wearing clothing that can provide extra protection against personal injury in case you are thrown off your bike in a motorcycle accident.
A helmet could protect you from a serious head injury. Make sure that your visor has not been scratched as this could restrict your vision and cause a road accident.
Strong, heavy trousers could prevent you from gaining a serious leg injury and gloves will protect your hands so make sure these are still in good condition. Most motorcycle dealers will recommend suitable protective gear.
