Good Techniques Get'M Right.


The Ready Position

Well, this is the principle that when seated on a motorcycle you need to be ready to respond to circumstances outside your control.The ready position is where the rider has their left foot on the ground, right foot on the rear brake, the four fingers of the right hand around the throttle, the four fingers of the left hand pulling the clutch in, the motorcycle in first gear, the head up and eyes scanning (forward, left, right and mirrors).

Many times you will see a rider stopped at lights or an intersection with both feet down, hands on the tank or scratching something!! These riders are not taking any responsibility for their own safety and give away any control they could have.

So always use the ready position, keep scanning to see what is happening around and behind you. Then if there is the need to move quickly......YOU CAN.
