How many times have the teacher yelled at the students busy chattering and not minding the lectures at the blackboard. Coincidentally, the same students flunk the periodical test when it happens. In riding your motorcycle the road requires attention, the moment you lose it means you risk yourself to accidents. If your mind is busy at something else and all of a sudden you don’t see the car in front applying the brakes, then it is your fault for not paying attention to the road.
Here are some things that will make you lose your attention:
Not feeling well or sick.
If you’re not feeling well or you are sick, then it’s time to give up on riding a motorcycle for the day and give your body that much needed rest. If you do force the issue then you put yourself and others at risk as your body will be slow to react on the things you might encounter along the road.
A problem at home or at work.
One of the reasons some riders are caught by surprise in a road accident is because there mind was not on the road but on the problems they are currently facing. When riding, always empty the mind and focus on the road, problems will have to wait until you get home or at the office if you don’t want to add another problem of being in an accident.
Women
Let’s face it women are beautiful to look at. I have seen riders tailing other vehicles relentlessly just to take a peek at them or throw a whistle with some girl on the sidewalk. The next thing you know they hit something hard like a road sign or another vehicle. Funny as it sounds these things do happen so always keep your eyes on the road!
Alcohol and drugs
Let’s face it it’s impossible to focus when your drunk or on high with drugs. How many times have we often heard the news about a drunk driver speeding and ending up with a crash, drugs are no exception either. These harmful substances need to be avoided when riding your motorcycle as they hamper your judgment on the road. Don’t drink and drive, if you do drink then don’t drive it’s that simple now repeat these lines 100 times.
Here is a funny video clip I got from youtube in the movie "the sweetest thing" If I was the rider in the clip, I'll try so hard to ignore them. . ^^,
