A motorcycle is a two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle designed to transport one or more riders. The majority of motorcycles have two wheels, but any three-wheeled motorized vehicle can be considered a motorcycle (or a moped). Motorcycles are popular among many people because they offer an exhilarating way to travel, and provide riders with a connection to the road that is not available in cars. In addition, motorcycles can achieve fuel economies far higher than passenger vehicles.
To ride a motorcycle, you must wear protective gear and understand the basics of traction and steering. You must also follow state laws and federal regulations concerning motor vehicles, including speed limits, turn signals, and lane markings. In addition, you should avoid alcohol and drugs before riding a motorcycle, as they can adversely affect your judgment, balance, throttle control, and ability to shift gears.
Steering a motorcycle at low speeds is a simple process; you simply turn the handlebar in the direction that you wish to go. But at higher speeds, you must use a different method of steering, called counter-steering. This requires pushing the handlebar in a direction that seems counterintuitive. For example, to steer the bike to the left while traveling at a right angle to the left lane marker, push on the right side of the handlebar.
To stop a motorcycle, you must use the front and rear brakes. It is important to use the front brakes frequently, as they typically provide 70 to 90 percent of the stopping force. However, you must be careful not to lock the brakes, which can cause a loss of control and lead to a crash.
