9 Essential Motorcycle Safety Tips for New Riders
Love Experience is everything in riding. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), over 5,000 people die in motorcycle crashes each year, with many deaths “attributed to lack of experience or failure to appreciate the inherent operating characteristics and limitations of the motorcycle.” Indeed, it’s well worth your while as a new rider to spend as much time as you possibly can learning motorcycle safety, starting with the following essential tips. The experts at Cardo Systems have no shortage of hours and miles spent on a motorcycle, and have come up with these essential tips to help keep all new riders safe on their bikes. 1. Always Wear ATGATT The acronym ATGATT may seem complex, but it’s actually a pretty basic concept. It stands for “all the gear, all the time” and serves as shorthand for the simple philosophy that riders should always wear head-to-toe safety gear, regardless of the higher or lower perceived risk. Here are some of Cardo’s top ATGATT-related tips to help you get started with this important concept. When you’re shopping for your first motorcycle, make sure your budget includes room for a helmet, body armor, gloves and boots. Work with a professional gear outfitter to ensure that you get a properly fitting helmet and boots. Ill-fitting gear can compromise visibility or get in your way, taking your attention from the road and causing accidents. Only buy a helmet that has passed stringent U.S. Department of Transportation standards. Look for gear that has been DOT, ECE and SNELL certified. Make sure your riding jacket, pants and gloves have armor (built-in padding) to protect your knees, elbows, chest and hands from abrasion and impact. 2. Know Your Hand Signals Because of the fact that bikers are out in the open and can communicate with one another better than regular motorists, they’ve developed a pretty extensive catalog of hand motions to keep one another clued in to what’s happening on the road. Knowing these signals can help you keep all drivers safe by alerting others of dangers, such as hazards in the road ahead, while also keeping you safe and legal should your blinkers or other crucial components stop working. 3. Invest in a Helmet Headset As great as hand signals are, they certainly have their weaknesses. They rely on the fact that other riders know them inside and out and that others are paying attention to you when you need to send a certain message (and, let’s be honest, they often aren’t). If you’re traveling with a group, the better choice is to have a reliable motorcycle helmet Bluetooth headset so that you can communicate with your fellow riders via your voice. Today’s high-tech motorcycle communication devices, like the ones from Cardo, create a seamless channel between you and other riders while also giving you voice-controlled access to your phone, music and GPS. 4. Follow a Safe Formation in Groups First things first: If you intend to roll as a pack, you need to know that this type of riding requires its own set of important safety rules and practices. Before you head out, make sure you’re up to speed on all of these crucial tips so you and your fellow group members enjoy a safe, fun ride. Formation is one of the most important elements of a good rally, so bone up before heading out. Generally, the recommended formation involves staggering riders across two lanes. 5. Take it Slow and Easy at First We don’t have any concrete numbers, but we’re willing to bet that a good chunk of the more serious motorcycle accidents occur because riders push themselves too far too quickly. It’s vital that you know your limitations and take it extra-slow, favoring the low-traffic backroads and cruising at or below the speed limit for the first few months. At the same time, remember that you will learn the most by being out on your bike, so definitely try to log a good number of miles every week. 6. Choose a Bike That Fits You Safety is one-part knowledge, one-part experience and one-part gear, so make sure you’ve got that last part covered by riding a safe, well-maintained bike. Your motorcycle needs to fit you like a glove so that you can easily access all of the vital controls and so you don’t feel tempted to fuss with anything, taking your attention away from the road. Of course, motorcycles are huge, heavy pieces of machinery—make sure you pick one that’s light enough for you to maintain complete control as you attack curves. 7. Practice Defensive Riding Don’t be paranoid but operate under the assumption that all other motorists are trying to kill you. The fact of the matter is that two-thirds of motorcycle accidents that involve another vehicle happen because the driver of the other vehicle violated the rider’s right of way. Make sure you never let your guard down, stay visible and always be defensive when riding around town. 8. Choose Safe Times to Ride Don’t get us wrong, we’ve all been caught in a mid-summer rainstorm while riding along country roads. It happens! But getting stuck in a particularly violent downpour or thunderstorm can compromise visibility and cause unpleasant road conditions, so it’s important to keep an eye on the forecast and stay home (or take another vehicle) if there’s foul weather on the horizon. Make sure to pack an emergency poncho and plan to pull over if things get bad. 9. Inspect Your Bike Before Each Ride Last but not least, one of the simplest ways to safeguard yourself and your bike is to perform a thorough inspection before you kick off. Do a complete top-to-bottom rundown, ensuring that the tires, brakes, mirrors and other important components are in excellent shape. It helps to follow the T-CLOCS inspection methodology to help you remember what to cover before you head out. You may even want to print out the T-CLOCS chart and keep it in your garage. Enjoy the Ride with Safety in Mind Riding safety

Gearing up for Sturgis– Essentials for Doing the Rally Right By Sturgis.com
Love There are many reasons people travel the world over to the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. Most want to experience the beauty and stellar riding of the Black Hills. Others come to see old friends and make new ones, while taking in the top-notch entertainment and events held across the region. The ways folks rally are as varied as their reasons for being here. Some throw a tent on their bike and camp in a local’s yard. Others cruise cross-country in an RV or toy hauler, setting up shop at their favorite Sturgis campground. Some fly in, rent a motorcycle and crash in a hotel or rental house. And a lucky few need only ride their motorcycle out of their garage to go enjoy the Black Hills. No matter your story, some essential items are required for everybody who comes to the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. We’ve compiled a few so that when you make your journey, no matter how long it is, you’re prepared… Things You Can’t Leave the House Without Jacket First and foremost, if you’re going to ride any distance, you’ll need some leather. God willing, you’ll keep the rubber side down the entire time. But in case you don’t, you’ll want some protection so you’re not leaving the Black Hills with a fresh road rash tattoo. A jacket like the Roland Sands Design Walker Perforated Black Leather Jacket will save your skin in more ways than one, allowing maximum airflow while riding around the hills during those hot August days and keeping you protected in case you go down. Ladies will dig the Trinity Perforated Leather Jacket by Roland Sands Design for the same reasons. You’ll stay cool, protected, and look damn good too. Triple win. Gloves You’ll want some solid leather gloves to go right along with that leather jacket for all the same reasons listed above. This pair of Premium Leather Motorcycle Cruising Street Palm Sliders Biker Gloves by Jackets 4 Bikes is a good example of a pair that will make sure your mitts stay cool and in tact on your Black Hills motorcycle excursions. Pants We can’t say it enough– you’ll never regret staying protected if you lay your motorcycle down. “I sure wish I’d worn LESS protective gear,” said no motorcyclist who’s ever been in a wreck. Kevlar-lined jeans are a great way to keep your legs protected so you can boogie down at night after cruising the hills. Check out the photo in the reviews of these MAXLER JEAN Men’s Motorcycle Kevlar Jeans after they endured a 55 mph slide and tell us your favorite pair of plain ol’ denim jeans would even still exist after that. Doubtful. Of course, it’s also a great place to keep your wallet with these other necessities: Cash Operator’s License Insurance Card Helmet If you’re going to protect the rest of yourself, then you should definitely protect your noggin. There’s a ton of options out there, and the prices range from next to nothing to more than what you’re neighbor is asking for that old motorcycle he’s got in his garage, but something like the Bell Qualifier Full-Face Helmet is a great option for anyone not looking to break the bank or their melon. Pro Tip: If your helmet isn’t full face, you’ll want to rock some sunglasses or goggles as eye protection. Boots We just covered your head, and everything in between, so now it’s time to cover your toes. A good pair of riding boots will protect you from the road, hot pipes, cold weather and looking like you don’t know how to dress yourself. They’ll also give you traction so you can stay in control while you ride. When it comes to function, style, comfort, security and durability, the Harley-Davidson Electron Motorcycle Boot is a good choice to get you covered. Things You Need for a Day Trip Motorcycle Luggage Depending on what you ride, you could have a lot of options to choose from here, or you might not need any because it’s already built in. Saddlebags are the most common type of motorcycle luggage. Something like the Momentum Outrider throw-over saddlebag from Kuryakyn would be able to fit the clothing, toiletries you need for a quick day trip on your bike. Pro Tip: Bring Ziplock bags or vacuum bags to put your clothes and toiletries into to save space and keep the inside of your saddlebags organized. Ear PlugsListening to a high volume dull roar inside your helmet for hours can cause fatigue and hearing damage. Pull the plug on that noise and plug your ears so you can keep on cruisin’. Get some good Ear Plugs. Bandana Perhaps the most versatile item you can pack as a motorcyclist is a Bandana. Your neck is generally the only exposed area when you’re geared up for a long ride, so a bandana or neck gaiter can protect that spot from getting stung by an insect flying toward you at mach one, keep you warm when it’s brisk, or you can cool yourself down by soaking your bandana in water. It also covers your face when the conditions are dusty and conceals your goofy looking helmet hair. Not to mention multitudes of other uses as necessary. Pack a few. Rain Gear You’re bound to run into rain at some point when you’re riding. If you’re not near a place where you can wait it out, you’ll want some waterproof outerwear to throw on so you can keep going. This Viking Rain Suit will keep you dry and your wits about you as you proceed through the nasty elements to a drier destination. Waterproof Duffel Bag Also, a dry bag like this FirstGear Waterproof Duffel Bag to pile up over the top of your saddle bags will help keep your gear dry. Tire Repair Kit You might’ve packed everything you need for a massive trip and completed all necessary maintenance checks, but if run over something and your tire goes flat, your trip is
Ladies to the Front
Love Women have been a part of the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally since its inception in 1938. However, in recent years, as the number of women riders across the nation has dramatically increased to nearly 20% of the motorcycling community, the number of ladies on two wheels at the rally has grown as well. Savanna Rose and Kelly Yazdi on the Biker Belles Ride Five years ago I was 23 and attending Sturgis for my first time. Every year I attend, I’ve seen the demographic change. I’ve seen more women riding down main street or through the beautiful twisty roads in the hills. There used to be a time not so long ago that a woman on a motorcycle was almost like seeing a rare mythical creature. But not anymore. Women are rolling into Sturgis by the masses, and I can’t help but smile ear to ear when I see packs of ladies ripping through town on two wheels! Group of Women Riders in the Black Hills, SD Women are making an impact at the Sturgis Rally in more ways than just attendance. Numerous rides and events are hosted by women. To name a few: Jody Perewitz and her father, Dave, host a custom paint and bike show every year at the rally. Looking to meet and ride with some of the industry’s leading female motorcyclists? The Biker Belles Ride had a record breaking 11th year with nearly 180 women joining in on the ride for 2019. And, the Buffalo Chip hosted it’s 3rd year of an all women’s camp out known as the Wild Gypsy Tour during the rally. Lastly, Britney Olsen hosts the Spirit of Sturgis, a vintage motorcycle race at the historic Sturgis half mile track. Rider Enjoying the Wild Gypsy Tour All Women’s Event Through women’s events hosted at the Buffalo Chip and throughout Sturgis, I’ve met dozens of women from all over the world that I’m fortunate to call friends now. We come from different states, countries, lifestyles, ride completely different kinds of motorcycles, and still have the time of our lives together. @YourFavoriteJuice, @DirtCop and @Sapasioux at @CampZeroSturgis “It’s so empowering to connect with other women who ride motorcycles. Every year I form more friendships and these women are the reason I come back to Sturgis. I look forward to riding with them all year!” Says Stephanie Catherine Gubernat, a female rider from Pennsylvania who’s ridden her Dyna to Sturgis the past three years. Stephanie Catherine Slow Races Jacey Coreia “Having always wanted to make the trip to Sturgis, it initially felt unsafe and I was unsure as a woman going alone and riding all the way from Canada,” says Allison Ussyk, now on her second year of riding to Sturgis by herself. “Wild Gypsy Tour gave me a place to feel safe and to experience Sturgis, to get my feet on the ground there. Biker Belles creates a greater community of women supporting women, and in the end, has allowed me to meet life long friends. Now, going to Sturgis is exciting for the adventure it will be, the people, and the community of women who are there.” Allison Ussyk has clearly been enjoying her ride If you didn’t attend the rally this year, we hope to see you ladies at the next one! No matter what you ride, or how long you’ve been riding, there’s a place for you to put your kickstand down in Sturgis. Presented by Ride to Food Ride to food is a travel website created by Staci Wilt to show you the places you need to experience for yourself, inspire you to go against the grain in whatever fashion that entails and to break stereotypes of women.

We look forward to sharing information about all of our Inductees in the weeks and months to come. Terry Rymer Born September 1960 in Aberdeen SD and raised in a single parent home with his mother and two younger sisters, motorcycles were never on Terry Rymer’s radar. At the age of 17 Terry purchased a new 1977 Yamaha IT175 it served as both a race and road bike. That purchase made Terry a staple at the local Yamaha shop, which turned a free time hangout into a full time job in 1978. Learning motorcycle sales, parts sales, promotions, marketing, but mainly, improving great customer interaction and experiences, all of which proved to be a valuable tool for the future. Then at the age of 24, wanting more of a motorcycle racing scene, Terry packed up everything and moved to Rapid City. In 1986 things started to accelerate with Harley-Davidson and the annual Sturgis Rally. Terry’s dream was realized in 2010, after 25 years with Black Hills Harley-Davidson, from parts counter to general manager, Terry’s lifelong commitment to the dealership paid off, as his dream came true when he was made partner of Black Hills Harley-Davidson. Motorcycle racing was, and still is Terry’s passion. Particularly Flat Track. Terry has promoted or co-promoted many races throughout his career and presently owns a race team that sponsors local Sturgis rider Dawson Schieffer campaigning in the American Flat Track series.
