- Don't smoke when you ride (Lots of Harley guys do this to look bad-ass.)
- Don't drink and ride @ the same time
- Don't take pictures and ride at the same time. (Yep seen this too)
- Don't take your dog on the bike with you. Talk about cruel.
i haven't seen "wear proper gears".
So true....Quote:

Wheelies over backwards = bad (learn to cover the rear brake, damnit!)
Large frost heaves in shaded corners = bad
Don't ask how I know these things.
Being a newbie, I'm the last person to be handing out advice, but as such, I found the following link interesting. Its the Hurt Report, which I'm sure is really old news to many of you, being how its from, like, 1981, but its a pretty thorough investigation into what are the causative factors in motorcycle accidents using data collected from the scene of actual motorcycle accidents.

If this is already somewhere inside NESR, my bad, but I did search the site looking for it...
Make sure u use a chain to lock your bike up. And maybe a few DOG'S
