An off-highway motorcycle:
Primarily is used for off-highway recreation and competition.
Off-highway motorcycles are not street-legal, and are typically used for recreational or
competitive use. Each type of motorcycle has a variety of styles and sizes, and you can
have fun shopping to determine which one is right for you.
Before risks can be managed, a rider must:
Consider the consequences of actions.
Once you become aware of the risks associated with motorcycling, and once you
accept that risk, it is time to learn how risks can be managed. Choosing to accept the
challenges of being a responsible motorcyclist means to think about the consequences
of your riding behavior in traffic. It also means accepting personal responsibility for the
results of your decisions and actions, as well as developing good skills and judgment.
To have a margin of safety means to:
Create time and space.
One way to think about your personal safety when you ride is to consider your personal
margin of safety. This means to consider the "margin for error," or how much extra time
,and space you need given your skill level.
A simple and powerful strategy is to SEE — to Search, Evaluate, Execute. It is the
strategy to help you understand what is going on in traffic and to be constantly planning
and implementing a course of action. To SEE is to Search for factors that might lead to
trouble, Evaluate how the factors might interact to create risk, and to Execute an action
to maintain a margin of safety. To SEE is to ask ourselves such questions as: What's
the other person going to do? What if that driver doesn't see me? What if there's gravel
in that curve ahead? What if that car doesn't provide the right-of-way at that
intersection? These everyday riding situations have something in common: if a strategy
for dealing with them isn't employed, they can easily lead to a crash. To put it simply,
you must continually SEE.
As you develop riding skills on the range, which is similar to mixing with other people on
road, apply the SEE strategy to give yourself time and space. It works anywhere, and
can help to ensure your safety and the safety of others.

Good advice for cold weather riding is to:
Dress in layers.
Protective gear that is appropriate for cold-weather riding may be too hot when stopped.
It is wise to dress in layers so that layers can be removed as desired. Extra pants,
shirts, and jackets can be layered underneath your protective gear to help body heat
form a warm insulation. Topping the protective gear with a wind proof outer layer can
prevent cold air from reaching the skin.
