Steps to overcome Road Hazards

Road hazards are obstructions you may encounter along the road while traveling. These are very dangerous especially during night time and if you're not familiar with your route. Weather condition may also give road hazard. It is very important that your bike is well-maintained and prepared for possible obstructions along your way.

While we give you the kind of road hazards we will give also the basic tips to overcome road obstructions.

• Check your tires and tubes/interior, make sure they are not worn out.  If you go for a long drive you should bring with you at least an extra tube/interior and if possible use only non-slip tires.
• Inspect your brakes, brake shoe and brake pad if are in good condition.
• Check the condition of your motorcycle chain and sprockets.
• Check and inspect the lights. Make sure all the lights are working.
• If your motorcycle tool box is large, it is a good idea to bring some spare parts (e.g. Clutch cables etc.)

Maintaining your bike regularly ensures you a problem free riding to your destination. Another important note is always bring basic tools with you. Preparedness is your ultimate buddy along your way (like the boy scouts motto: Laging Handa!).

Stay safe and enjoy the ride!
