Whether you’re a novice or a seasoned motorcyclist, there are always ways to improve your skills and increase your safety on the road or track. Practicing your motorcycle skills may even save your life. Serving residents throughout Alaska, Anchorage Suzuki/Arctic Cat is the premier motorsport retailer offering a broad selection of snowmobiles, motorcycles, and ATVs from the best brand names at prices that won’t break the bank.

Below, the motorsport professionals share a few tips to help you perfect your skills when you’re riding your motorcycle:

• Know Your Route: Unlike being on a racetrack and going around in circles, riding on the road requires you to know where you’re going so you can pay attention to the possible dangers around you. Before you leave, map out the route you’re going to take so you aren’t forced to take any last minute turns that could put your safety at risk.
• Practice Emergency Braking: Practicing emergency braking skills could save your life one day on the road. Find an empty parking lot and begin by practicing with lower speeds until you master these skills at higher road speeds. While this skill does take some time to develop, it is one of the most important to have under your belt.
• Understand Signs of Danger: Unlike a driver in a car, there is nothing protecting you and your motorcycle from the elements or other vehicles. As such, you should be aware of any signs of potential danger that are present on the road. These include a car pulling out in front of you, quickly changing traffic lights, and being in other vehicles’ blind spots.
