Motorcycle Safety
Motorcycle Safety:

Safety is a chief concern for the Red Knights Tennessee Chapter 2 Club. We encourage all people who ride motorcycles to attend a safety course. We are working on a closed class for Red Knights only. For information please contact the RKTN2 president.

 


We had our first RED KNIGHT Advanced Rider Safety Class on July 26.
There was a little less chrome on some pipes after the class, but everyone left with a smile. I encourage everyone to take this class, it could save your life.

On one of our rides I saw something that sent chills down my back. On a curvy country road, on a large group ride, a rider (not one of the Red Knights) was passing one of our members around a blind turn. Our member did not see him coming and was avoiding an object in the road. We almost had our first accident. We are riding as a group, we need to remember:

• Ride staggered, not side by side.

• Give our riders a safety curtain around each bike for emergency maneuvers

• Watch your following distance; give yourself room to stop your bike.

• Look for hazards in the road and let those behind you know about them.

• If we are changing lanes, the last bike needs to change and let the rest in.

• Use our hand signals and turn signals

• Look out for each other, we can keep our brothers and sister from harm's way by watching our surroundings.
