David Parker's Pre-Ride Motorcycle Inspection Checklist

5/19/2023

0 Comments

 
Victoria Day Weekend is the official kick-off to a Saskatchewan Summer. Outdoor activities are top of mind this time of year, as Saskatchewanians get out into the wilderness and explore the backcountry. Perhaps you will spend part, or much, of your long weekend behind bars. Hopefully so.

By late May, many riders have already performed their pre-season mechanical inspections but what about those daily or mid-trip pre-ride checks? Who knows what may have changed since you parked your bike beside the tent, outside the hotel, or in the parking lot of your favourite retail stop. A quick walk-around check before jumping back on, regardless of where you are, and a more thorough routine check before each ride, can be the difference between a great ride and one that ends poorly.
Avid Moto-Camper & Motorcycle Instructor David Parker takes us through his routine inspection checklist.

Have anything to ad? Share your must-check inspection items in the comments below! Maybe you have a song you whistle or a pre-ride inspection dance? We'd be happy to hear about it.

Neil Painter's Top 4 Spring Tips for Safe Riding

5/5/2023

0 Comments

 
Four crucial tips for getting your riding season off to a safe start:

1. Perform a thorough pre-season inspection of riding gear and your motorcycle. Anything wearing out or torn, lose, leaking, or rusted?... aside from maybe your skills? Perhaps now is a good time to put markers on some key fasteners. Doing so simplifies your mid-season pre-ride inspections if you can walk around and quickly determine if anything has nudged loose.

2. Before going out on the streets, give some consideration to surface conditions. Is there still loose sand and gravel everywhere? Have you been seeing giant potholes on your way to and from the office or grocery store? Make some mental notes.

3. Find a place to practice and re-familiarize yourself with your bike. Especially focusing on slow-speed maneuvers.

4. When you do get out there, leave lots of room between yourself and the person in front of you, thereby avoiding surprise surface changes, and remember, the caged drivers (that's all of us in Saskatchewan in the "off-season", unfortunately) are not used to looking for bikes. Be as visible and as alert as possible.
