It has been said that “Four wheels move the body, Two wheels move the soul” we want everyone here to enjoy our sport for many years, to take from the Poker world “You don't stop riding because you get old, you get old because you stop riding.” The community here on FZRonline.com have collected resources we feel will help foster safety and responsibility in our community.
Before testing your skills in the already risky traffic ways, invest in quality training offered through the Motorcycle Safety Foundation. The MSF is an internationally recognized not-for-profit foundation, supported by motorcycle manufacturers, that provides leadership to the motorcycle safety community through its expertise, tools, and partnerships. The time you spend with a qualified riding coach, can shave time off your learning curve and could keep you from finding yourself or someone else as a statistic.
