Safety First
It never hurts to err on the side of caution. Summertime activities are made to be relaxing and fun. Just make sure if the situation goes sideways, you’re fully protected to replace against damages or injury.
Motorcycles
“Motorcycles are by their nature far less crashworthy than closed vehicles. They are also less visible to other drivers and pedestrians and less stable than four-wheel vehicles. Operating a motorcycle requires a different combination of physical and mental skills than those used in driving four-wheel vehicles. Motorcyclists and their passengers are more vulnerable to the hazards of weather and road conditions than drivers in closed vehicles.”
Note: statistics on fatal motorcycle crashes are also available from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
