Change lane positions frequently to prevent monotony.

Choose a lane position that maximizes their space cushion.

2. More than half of all motorcycle crashes:

Happen at night.

Are caused by bald tires.

Occur at speeds above 55 mph.

4. Your lane position should:

Provide a good view of the shoulder.

Provide a poor view of road hazards.

Stopping will be easier than when riding without a sidecar.
