19.) Cool does not keep you alive or well. (Or maybe this should be 4a )
18.) Wear safety gear. Always. Even when it's hot.
17.) Look both ways before taking off when the light turns green. Some people don't know the difference!
16.) A good wax job twice a year will keep your parts happy.
15.) Always watch their rims to make sure they're really stopped.
14.) That impulsive moment when you see a hot girl/guy and show off on your cool sport bike/ cruiser almost certainly will lead to you looking like an idiot.
13.) Always check your mirror positions before taking off.
12.) You will call an expensive high-quality rain-suit the best money you ever spent the first time that you really have to use it.
11.) Change your motorcycle oil and filter more often than your manual suggests.
10.) Check your tire's air pressure. You'd be surprised how long it's been since you checked it!
9.) You can ride fast and you can ride slow, but never ride in a hurry.
8.) Take number 1 and 7 and turn it into a mantra to chant to yourself while riding anywhere other then your driveway.

4.) Never believe anything that you read on an internet motorcycle forum!
3.) Yellow vests do not look cool

28.) I repeat #10 - Inspect your tires and set your tire pressures regularly! - Buy a decent tire gauge, check it with other known good gauges and then use it. You can improve handling, payload capacity, fuel mileage, traction, tire life, and protect those rims -- a fine free product reviewed elsewhere on this site in similar brevity.
