New Riders

Here are some Reasons why people tell you to do silly things like lifesavers, assume everyone is out to kill you etc etc.

1. Wear full kit - http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=efa_1335116376

2. Lifesaver before maneuver- http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=5ae_1336318419

3.Don't undertake - http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=_ZMoz70YwDE

4. Don't overtake near a junction - http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=fff_1337342418

5. Everyone is trying to kill you - http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=4f8_1337161645

Finnaly number 6 - WEAR PROPER KIT - http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=efa_1335116376

These videos do contain some footage that some viewers may find disturbing -

If that doesn't put you off riding like a dick then check out google images for motorbike crash injuries.

A motorcycle is as safe as you ride it.

Certainly can

testify for 1 and 6. Had an off at about 35mph, laid the bike down with me underneath, weight of it on my left knee skidding down the road. My injuries were exactly nil, my textile trousers had kneepads in and they took the lot. I literally would have no left knee cap had I been wearing jeans :ph43r:
