Today, I have a steel rod in my femur bone from a
  motorcycle accident, and I am reminded of the famous
 saying that motorcyclists often cite "there are those who
   have been down, and those who will." And what that
  means is there are those who have been in motorcycle
accidents, and those that will in the future, and those are
the only two types of motorcycle riders, and there is not a
                         third type.
When you are young and restless, you think it can't
      happen to you, and those who are very careful on
   motorcycles also sometimes feel that they are safe, or
immune from accidents. Don't kid yourself. Nevertheless,
   if you want to survive an accident, or prevent most of
 them from happening to you, then you need to be 100%
  into motorcycle riding safety - and you should probably
 read up on this topic, as well as practice the safety skills
                      which you learn.
Indeed, to help you with this, there's a very good booklet
 that I would like to recommend to you, and it is one that
sits on my bookshelf at home, even though currently I do
    not own a motorcycle. The name of the booklet is;
"Motorcycle Rider Course - Reading and Street Skills"
 (student work book), by the MSF Motorcycle Safety
       Foundation, (2000) Eighteenth Printing.
As you can see since this booklet has been printed for 18
years straight, it is obviously a much needed book. Luckily,
it is very easy to read, and it is broken into chapters which
       discuss the joy of motorcycle riding, preventive
maintenance, and controlling a motorcycle. There are also
chapters on attitude and being in the proper state of mind,
along with the reasoning behind wearing helmets, leather
                jackets, and other safety gear.
There is also information on inspecting your motorcycle
 and I believe this is important just as if you were preflight
  an airplane. Many injuries happen when a motorcycle is
  barely moving, or is sitting still. There is a right way and
 wrong way to get onto a motorcycle and to dismount. It's
even more critical when taking passengers. In this booklet
you learn about turning, stopping, shifting, visibility, street
        strategies, and more advanced maneuvering.
There are also warnings about alcohol and drug use and
  proper etiquette around other motorcycle riders. This
  section I think everyone should read is the one about
    special writing situations, such as carrying cargo,
   passengers, riding on black ice, or in windy or rainy
conditions. Trust me, if you ride a motorcycle you need to
   pay attention to stay alive. Please consider all this.
