What Every Rider Should Know

As the  weather heats up, more motorcycles will be out on roads and highways. Ohio ranks fifth in motorcycle registrations nationwide, with about 390,494 registered motorcycles on the road this season. That’s a lot of bikes.

For most, it’s a liberating and leisurely activity. Feeling the wind through your hair and riding down the highway with your friends nearby can be exhilarating. For others, it’s a main mode of transportation that takes them to and from work with cheap trips to the gas pump.

Either way, it’s always a risky ride, and could end in devastation when you least expect it. Consider, for example, unhelmeted riders accounted for 65% of motorcycle deaths, and motorcycle passengers are 20 times more likely to get injured than the motorcycle operator.
