9 out of 10 motorcycle accidents involve untrained riders. When you're controlling this much force, it's essential to have complete command of your machine. More than 90 percent of riders involved in accidents haven't taken a formal motorcycle driving course.

No one's too old to wear a helmet. A motorcycle rider not wearing a helmet is five times more likely to sustain a critical hed injury in a crash. Buy a full-face helmet for the best protection for your head and eyes. Wear other protective gear as well; heavy leather or synthetic gloves, long pants and jacket and over-the-ankle boots.
This advise applies to all riders--not just teenagers learning to ride. Today, more than 44 percent of all fatal motorcycle accidents involve riders in their 40s. That's three times higher than a decade ago.
In a crash, the SUV wins. When cars and motorcycles collide, it's usually because the driver of teh car failed to see the cyclist. With more SUVs on the road, it's even more critical to take extra steps to become more visible. Use your headlamps---both night and day---and wear yellow, red or orange jackets to make yourself easy to see. Make a point of positioning yourself in your lane for visibility.
Remember: Ride Sober. Driving impaired is more deadly for cyclers than other drivers. In fact, more than half of all motorcycle deaths occur when the rider has been drinking.
