For your protection, you should always wear a long-sleeved jacket made of appropriate material when riding. This is true even in warm weather because wearing a jacket is important to help prevent dehydration. You should also always wear long pants, and tuck in the laces of your footwear to prevent them from catching on the motorcycle.

To regain control of a locked rear wheel, the brake must be released. However, if you accidentally lock the rear brake on a good traction surface, you can keep it locked until you have completely stopped.

Motorcycles parked on the side of a West Virginia road should be parked at a 90-degree angle with the rear wheel touching the curb.

When slowing or stopping on a surface with reduced traction, you should use caution and apply the brakes more gently than usual.
