There is a great level of freedom but not without an element of risk. ThirstyRock Hydration offers safety tips for motorcyclists.

Always ride sober and stay alert
Drinking and driving don’t mix, and riding while under the influence of alcohol or medications can impair your judgment.

Don’t ride distracted
Listening to music or using your phone with headphones while riding can prevent you from hearing traffic sounds. The distraction may cause you to miss what’s happening on the road, and put you at risk.

Stay hydrated
Hydrate before, during and after riding. The ThirstyRock Hydration Tank Bag is the best way to hydrate safely while riding. Dehydration can cause dizziness and lack of focus, both of which can lead to serious problems while on a motorcycle.

Be aware of your surroundings
Watch for road hazards like potholes, loose gravel and animals. When driving on unfamiliar roads, be mindful of traffic control signs. Always keep an eye out for aggressive drivers.

  • Drive defensively

  • Leave sufficient distance between you and other vehicles

  • Use turn signal indicators and give plenty of warning for turns or passing

  • Always assume that other drivers don’t see you

  • Leave yourself an escape route in case a vehicle pulls out in front of you or cuts you off

  • Maintain good lane position so you can see farther down the road

Use extra caution when riding in inclement weather
Aside from the danger of slippery roads, visibility is decreased and you need more braking distance between yourself and other vehicles. Reduce speed accordingly. Don’t put yourself at risk by riding during thunderstorms.

Safety training
Training is not just for beginning riders, but it’s also a good idea for seasoned riders to take advanced training. There are new safety techniques and safety gear, among other information that will help keep you safe while riding.

Have proper insurance
Be prepared for mishaps with the right motorcycle insurance so that you are protected against medical bills and repair or replacement of your bike.
