Tips For Motorcycle Safety in the Fall

  • Remember that even on warm days the temperature drops fast after dark. Do not get stuck far from home shivering because you dressed for warmer weather, because extreme cold while driving is not only uncomfortable, it can be dangerous. 
  • Watch for ice. Early ice is not uncommon yet may motorist are not prepared and it comes as a surprise, often a dangerous one. Keep your eyes out for icy conditions such as a drop in temperature after a fall rain. 
  • Pullover to enjoy the views. The fall foliage is worthy of a photo or at least a moment of enjoyment but do yourself a favor and get off of your bike a moment. Do not try to take in the best views from the road, pull over to a safe spot to soak it in.
