Danger

I couldn't get out on the bike today despite it being perfect weather for biking. so I've had to make do with spending the latter part of the evening reading through the owner's manual, a thing that H-D recommend you do thouroughly before riding for the first time. Yeah, like that's going to happen! "I'll not go out on my new bike until I've read all 192 pages."

What I did notice was that almost every page carries the following words:- "which could result in death or serious injury".
Makes me wonder if Harley-Davidson ever write to owners who have had an accident and say, "We told you so!".

Though, for me, the best line has to be:-

"Motorcycles are different from other vehicles. They operate, steer, handle and brake differently. Unskilled or improper use could result in loss of control, death or serious injury."

Happy biking from Harley-Davidson, Milwaukee, USA.
