1. ALWAYS wear a helmet.. no exceptions.. yes even at 35mph on a 50cc scooter..
2. drive like every vehicle on the road is piloted by a comi-cozy A.D.D. piliot.. Defensive driving is key..
3. Know your bike, know its limits. know your limits.. don't push them
4. speed kills.. faster you go the more those odds that you die go up
5. always in every situation have a exit strategy, if its driving into the shoulder or speeding up or slowing down, or sliding the bike on its side.. whatever, always look for a why out of the situation if something went bad.. like a car pulling out in front of you.. If you have a exit strategy you might be able to pull it off when you need it... with out the strategy you'll be sure to crash.

Well said....
