Good advices of "Papy motard "


("the experiment is a lantern attached in your back, which lights only the traversed way." Confucius)

Roundabouts
  • All converges to make the roundabouts dangerous:
    • concentration of the traffic
    • waterings which flood more the roadway than geraniums
    • the gas oil tanks which flow under the effect of the centrifugal force
    • sclerosed brain which believes that the priority is on the right
    • the short-sighted without glasses, which do not see the bikes.
    • some motards who want to make a super "filp-flap", like Valentino Rossi, which often finishes into lamentable "flop" .
    • the decorative elements which populate the circumference of the roundabouts, like these splendid rocks .
    Then the greatest prudence is necessary.

You do not take precedence, even over the motor bikes.
When it rains.
  • Do not roll in the medium of the roadway, that slips. Roll in the traces of cars.
To park your inclined motor bike.
  • Always put the back of the motor bike in the low part of the slope. Your motor bike will be more stable and you will not have problems to leave.
Gloves
  • Always take several pairs of glove. The handling operation or gardening gloves make good gloves of help.
Ignition keys.
  • Always have an additional ignition key on you. A technique of flight consists in stealing the key, then to draw aside you from the motor bike, then to steal you the motor bike.
The carpark.
  • Put your motor bike on the central stand. That discourages the morons who want to go up above. And avoids problems of falls and breakages (of the motor bike and the moron).
Turn on the right.
  • Prudence when you double in a turn on the right (on 2 ways). The centrifugal force is more significant than in a turn on the left. You riquez to off-set you and in more there is world opposite.
Sale of motor bike.
  • Do not let your alleged purchasing future test your motor bike without guarantee. Ask for to him his licence of lead and moreover accompany it with another vehicle. You are not timid do not have any reason to trust him. If your purchaser is a " friend ", do not lend your motor bike to him several days so that it tests it. You decrease your chances to find a purchaser. Moreover it is likely to take a long time to decide.

Motor bike
to be
sold / stolen.
To overtake
  • Always consider the scenario catastrophic scenario of the motorist, who turns suddenly on the left.
Straight lines.
  • The straight line encourages at the speed. It is, I think, the place where the risk is maximum especially for the beginners. The least incident makes devier the motor bike of his trajectory. A movement of the head, with a hand, an insect, a pothole, a water puddle pool, a dog can cause a loss of control. At high speed the motor bike goes straight and not obligatorily on its wheels and the road.
