Ride Sober

Should You Be Riding? 

Did you know about half of single-vehicle biker deaths involve alcohol or drugs? Motorcycles are fun to ride and bring friends together to experience the freedom and adventure of the open road. But your enjoyable outing could quickly turn ugly if you mix alcohol or drugs with riding. 

Riding a motorcycle is a demanding and complex task. Motorcyclists must be alert and pay attention to the riding environment to identify potential hazards and execute decisions quickly and skillfully. Alcohol and drugs, more than any other factor, degrade a motorcyclist's ability to think clearly and to ride safely.
