Motorcycle Safety Essentials especially for NEW RIDERS…


I posted this way back when, but seeing there are so many new riders on the roadways, I thought it apropos to bring it back! Safety is NO JOKE, and all of us need to practice our skills and practice them again!! Ride Safely, everyone!!

Being a huge fan of David Hough’s Proficient Motorcycling

and More Proficient Motorcycling,

I am always thrilled to read his articles that appear in different publications. An acquaintance on one of my motorcycle forums recently posted a link to a Soundrider a northwest rider site, posting a monthly article by David Hough.

After scanning a few of the issues, I was convinced that I needed to post the web addys here for his articles, as if it helps just one reader, then it has succeeded!!

Here are the links to the articles and the article titles.

Please enjoy the amazing “proficiency” he chooses to share regarding a sport he loves and respects!
