Starting biking

When you start ride a motorbike, you have to seek the nature of the biking. What is the right speed? Maximum speed in different curves. If you ride too fast in the curve, you go out of the road. What is the right speed to approach something. Can you get bike to stop to avoid the crash? You have to train these things before you are ready to on the road. You have to control the braking on different situations. You have to be brave when you start steering the bike. Steering by bike happens by leaning. Leaning starts by counter steering. When you are ready on traffic, these maneuvers you have to control automatically.

When biking use always headlight. Cars have two driving lights, biker just one. Biker is not easy to be seen because of the size and speed. Do not use headlight in towns and line driving, use then driving dipped driving light. Like in night driving turn headlight to dipped light when oncoming car asks it.

Perhaps the most dangerous situation for biker is when oncoming vehicle turn left just in front of you. Car driver thinks he has enough time to turn and go before you. As a biker you have to control this and avoid the crash. You have to keep your speed in control and follow also carefully oncoming vehicles.
