    Ok, i just want to start off by saying, i'm a fireman and i know there are two ways to ride a motorcycle . The right way and the wrong way! I've seen lots of people riding motorcycles and most of them do it the right way, but i'm going to go over the steps with you so that you dont have to buy new parts for that new motorcycle off of here. (not that buying from eBay is bad, just that buying used parts for a NEW wrecked motorcycle is!)
STEP 1
    DO NOT attempt to ride the motorcycle in any other way than the manufacturer specifies. (HINT: riding wheelies) Not that i dont agree with you that people riding wheelies look cool, but they can really injure themselves doing it. I've seen it in person and its not pretty! DONT DO IT!


STEP 2
    ALWAYS wear some kind of protection when riding. Dont expect to be protected from a fall wearing shorts and that wife beater you've had on for days, because believe me its not gonna protect you. If you find some good leathers that will protect you, then you wont get road rash. A nice pair of riding boots would also be a good idea. Also, you cant forget the most important protection, YOUR HELMET! Once your all equipped, we can move on to step 3.

STEP 3
    STAYING on the subject of things NOT TO DO, we will move on to not paying attention. When you're riding down the street and you just daze off thinking of those new motorcycle tires your going to buy off of eBay, you can really get off the track of staying on the subject of riding and hit something or someone. So, if you really want to ride, make sure your have a clear head and you pay attention to the road in front of you! Wouldn't you rather have losing those tires on the auction on your mind instead of hitting someone? I thought you would, so remember step 3 when your riding!

STEP 4
    This is the last step i'm going to give you for now, but remember this one as much as you have the others! If you're going to ride a crotch rocket do not, I REPEAT DO NOT, go to places where a lot of Harley riders go, because they will destroy your bike! I've seen many bruises and busted up bikes because of it!

I'm going to end this guide now with a farewell, but i hope everyone that reads this will follow these 4 simple rules and have a safe riding experience. Thanks for your time of reading this and ride safe!
