How To Ride Fast and Live

1. Look ahead! The most important aspect of riding a motorbike is looking ahead. Don't look at your motorbike gloves as you twist the throttle...keep your eyes on the horizon!

2. The second most important thing is look where you want to go. Try this when cornering. As you enter the corner, keep your eyes on the exit.

3. Relax! If you're tense, holding the 'bars with the death grip through your motorcycle gloves, you are not going to ride smooth. Learn to hang loose!

4. Be smooth! Don't jerk at the throttle through your motorbike gloves. Don't stab at the brake or yank at the steering.

5. Love the rear brake! Although many riders ignore the rear brake in preference to the front brake...the rear brake is essential for cornering. Learn to use the rear brake and twist the throttle through your motorbike gloves at the same time. It helps to balance the bike.

6. Keep the throttle on! Also essential for bike balance when cornering. Keep opening the motorbike gloves and when the time is right crack it open to exit.

7. Keep your head level. Imperative for your balance to keep your eyes parallel to the ground (when cornering as well!)

8. Keep your line! Use the road properly. Enter corners better, exit faster.

9. Anticipation! Goes hand in motorcycle glove hand with looking ahead. Be aware. When approaching an intersection or the crest of a hill...set your brakes up. Get ready for the unexpected.

10. Ride fast and safe and get some rider training...bad habits can kill!
