WARNING
_
●
Avoid braking hard or suddenly
(especially when leaning over to
one side), otherwise the motor-
cycle may skid or overturn.
●
Railroad crossings, streetcar
rails, iron plates on road con-
struction sites, and manhole
covers become extremely slip-
pery when wet. Therefore, slow
down when approaching such
areas and cross them with cau-
tion.
●
Keep in mind that braking on a
wet road is much more difficult.
●
Ride slowly down a hill, as brak-
ing downhill can be very diffi-
cult.
