What the Georgia Motorcycle Operators Manual says about gear and vehicle control

  • Selecting and Wearing Protective Gear

    A responsible rider wears protective gear, knows and inspects the motorcycle and rides free of alcohol and drugs. p. 21

  • Starting the Engine

    To start the engine: fuel valve (if any) and ignition ON; shift to neutral, checking by rocking the motorcycle without the clutch rather than trusting the indicator light. p. 23

  • Getting Started

    The T-CLOCS pre-trip inspection: T tires and wheels (pressure, tread, cracks, dents, loose spokes, bearings, brakes), C controls (levers, switches, cables, hoses, throttle), L lights and electrics, O oil and other fluids (levels, leaks), C chassis (suspension, drive components), S stands. p. 23

  • Riding in a Straight Line

    Posture: back straight, head and eyes up, sit so your arms steer rather than hold you up; hold the handgrips firmly with your right wrist flat to help control the throttle; keep your knees close to the gas tank and your feet on the footrests while moving, toes not pointing down, near the controls. p. 23

  • Stopping

    Your motorcycle has front and rear brakes: use both every time you slow or stop. p. 24

  • Turning

    Riders often take turns and curves too fast: slow before the turn and hold that speed. p. 24
