But proper skills and knowledge are needed to ride safely in traf c conditions.  \nThis 18th edition of the Motorcycle Safety Foundation Motorcycle Operator Manual* contains tips and strategies to help riders manage risk. The manual was written for novices and designed for use in licensing programs, but there’s great information for all two-and three-wheel motorcycle riders. Topics covered include motorcycle controls, developing effective street strategies, group riding, riding with a passenger, and more.  \nAdditional resources are available [at MSF-USA.org](at MSF-USA.org), including the new MSF Basic eCourse, with interactive online exercises. But the best way to learn to ride is through formal hands-on training, like with the MSF Basic RiderCourse, where you’ll learn how to properly operate a motorcycle with the help of MSF-certi ed RiderCoaches.  \nMaking motorcycling safer, and as a result more fun, is our goal.  \nErik Pritchard  \nPresident  \nMotorcycle Safety Foundation  \n*The original Motorcycle Operator Manual was developed by the National Public Services Research Institute under contract to the National Highway Traf c Safety Administration as part of a cooperative agreement between NHTSA and the MSF. Continuing to help state agencies with their licensing programs, the MSF offers the source les of this booklet to them at no charge. Write [to MSF@MSF-USA.org](to MSF@MSF-USA.org) for more information.  \nCONTENTS  \nTHE RIDER AND THE MOTORCYCLE ...........................3  \nPREPARING TO RIDE Wear the Right Gear ............................4  \nKnow Your Motorcycle ........................6  \nKnow Your Responsibilities .................9  \nRIDE WITHIN YOUR ABILITIES Basic Vehicle Control ..........................10  \nKeeping Your Distance .......................13  \nSEE .......................................................17  \nIntersections .......................................19  \nIncreasing Conspicuity .......................22  \nCrash Avoidance .................................25  \nHandling Dangerous Surfaces ...........28  \nMechanical Problems .........................30  \nAnimals ...............................................32  \nFlying Objects .....................................33  \nGetting Off the Road .........................33  \nCarrying Passengers and Cargo .......................................33  \nGroup Riding .......................................36  \nBEING IN SHAPE TO RIDE  \nWhy This Information Is Important .......................................40  \nAlcohol and Other Drugs in Motorcycle Operation ....................40  \nAlcohol in the Body ............................40  \nAlcohol and the Law ..........................41  \nMinimize the Risks .............................42  \nStep in to Protect Friends ..................42  \nCannabis and Motorcycle Operation ....................43  \nFatigue ................................................43  \nEARNING YOUR LICENSE OR ENDORSEMENT.................................44  \nTHREE-WHEEL SUPPLEMENT  \nSupplementary Information for Three-Wheel Motorcycles.........46  \nKnow Your Vehicle ..............................46  \nBasic Vehicle Control ...........................48  \nCarrying Passengers and Cargo..........51  \nHAND SIGNALS.......................... 52  \nT-CLOCS PRE-RIDE CHECKLIST ....54  \nTHE RIDER AND THE MOTORCYCLE 3  \nRIDING ENVIRONMENT  \nMotorcycling is a unique experience. Compared to a car, you don’t sit in a motorcycle, you become its upper half. Not as a passive driver, but as an active rider leaning into a string of smooth corners, playing along with the rhythm of the road; shifting, accelerating, and braking with precision. Whether you ride to and from work or prefer the camaraderie of a group ride on the weekend, motorcycling engages all your senses and creates an ","cbCaijt0qVy2isWy","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijt0qVy2isWy","pdf",2602577,58,"English","# THE RIDER AND THE MOTORCYCLE\n## PREPARING TO RIDE\n## RIDE WITHIN YOUR ABILITIES\n## BEING IN SHAPE TO RIDE\n## EARNING YOUR LICENSE OR ENDORSEMENT\n## THREE-WHEEL SUPPLEMENT\n## HAND SIGNALS\n## T-CLOCS PRE-RIDE CHECKLIST","[{\"question\":\"Who is this manual intended for?\",\"answer\":\"The manual is designed for novices and is also useful for all two- and three-wheel motorcycle riders through its safety-focused tips and strategies.\"},{\"question\":\"What kinds of safety learning resources are mentioned?\",\"answer\":\"Additional resources are referenced at MSF-USA.org, including an MSF Basic eCourse with interactive online exercises, along with formal hands-on training such as the MSF Basic RiderCourse.\"},{\"question\":\"What additional material does the book include for three-wheel motorcycles?\",\"answer\":\"A “THREE-WHEEL SUPPLEMENT” provides supplementary information, including how to know your vehicle, basic vehicle control, carrying passengers and cargo, plus hand signals and the T-CLOCS pre-ride checklist.\"}]","MOTORCYCLE OPERATOR MANUAL - WITH SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION FOR THREE-WHEEL MOTORCYCLES - 18TH EDITION - Preface | PDF",1790694249,146]
