As your motorcycle increases its speed, you will need to shift up into a higher gear.

When approaching a blind intersection, move to the portion of the lane that will bring you into another driver's field of vision at the earliest possible moment.

The faster you drink, the more alcohol will accumulate in your body.

A properly chosen lane position should provide a number of benefits, including increasing your ability to see others and be seen by them; helping you to avoid blind spots, wind blasts, and surface hazards; protecting your lane from other vehicles; communicating your intentions to others; and setting you up for turns.

You should always conduct a thorough safety check of your motorcycle before each time that you ride.

On a motorcycle, it is usually best to simply proceed straight across railroad tracks as they come. Crossing at an angle may be more dangerous, as it could send you into another lane. An exception is that you should move to cross at at least a 45 degree angle if you are crossing tracks that run parallel to your direction of travel (such as trolley tracks in the middle of a street).
