Swerving or Turning Quickly
Did You Know?
Most crashes are caused by excessive
speed and crossing the centerline.
Chambers Co
Laconia Motorcycle Week | June 8-16, 2013
90th Anniversary of Laconia Motorcycle Week
www.laconiamcweek.com
Rally Headquarters is at the Weirs Beach Waterslide
during Motorcycle Week, located on Route 3, Weirs
Beach | The White Mountains are loaded with some of
the most picturesque scenic views New Hampshire has
to offer a motorcyclist. It boasts of the greenest foliage
in the summer and most brilliant hues of reds, yellows,
and oranges in autumn.
Sometimes you may not have enough room to stop, even if you use both brakes properly. An object may appear
suddenly in your lane. Or the car ahead might have to stop suddenly. The only way to avoid a crash may be to turn
sharply or swerve around it.
A swerve is any quick change
in direction. It can be two quick
turns, or a rapid shift to one side
or another. Apply a small amount
of hand pressure to the handgrip
located on the side of your
intended direction of escape. This
will cause your motorcycle to lean
quickly. The sharper the turn, the
more the motorcycle must lean.

Do we need to say anymore? | In 2013, from Milwaukee to Rome and in dozens of
others cities all across the globe, Harley Davidson is commemorating 110 years of
classic motorcycles and classic good times. But Rome and Milwaukee are just the

Checking your mirrors is not enough. Motorcycles have “blind spots” like cars. Before you change lanes, turn
your head, and look to the side for other vehicles. Only by knowing what is happening all around you, are you fully
prepared to deal with it.

Keep your body upright and allow
the motorcycle to lean in the
direction of the turn while keeping
your knees against the tank and
your feet firmly on the pegs. Allow
the motorcycle to move underneath
you. Make your escape route the
target of your vision. Press on the
opposite handgrip once you’ve
passed the obstacle to return to
your original direction of travel. To swerve to the left, press the left handgrip, then press the right to recover. To
swerve to the right, press right, then left.
Sievers Cv
To stop quickly, apply both brakes at the same time. Don’t be shy
about using the front brake, but don’t “grab” it, either. Squeeze
the brake lever firmly and progressively. If the front wheel locks,
release the front brake immediately then reapply it firmly. At the
same time, press down on the rear brake. If you accidentally lock
the rear brake on a good traction surface, keep it locked until you
have completely stopped. Even with a locked rear wheel, you can
control the motorcycle on a straightaway if it is upright and going
in a straight line. Always use both brakes at the same time to
stop. The front brake
can provide 70% or
more of the potential
stopping power. SANTA FE

Sturgis Motorcycle Rally | August 5-11, 2013
www.sturgismotorcyclerally.com
®
Studies show that most crash-involved riders: Underbrake the front tire
and overbrake the rear. (or) Did not separate braking from swerving or
did not choose swerving when it was appropriate.
The Sturgis® Motorcycle Rally is the experience of a lifetime in a place where
local people can still show you a thing or two about hospitality and visiting
exhibitors can show you anything and everything you’d want or need to dress you
up or dress up your bike. Or heck, just buy a new one while you are here!
Harley-Davidson and Victory introduce their new models each year during the
Rally and you can demo virtually every kind of bike on the market - custom,
V-Twin or metric.
Keep Your Distance
Don’t Pair Up - Never operate directly alongside another rider. There is
no place to go if you have to avoid a car or something on the road. To
talk wait until you are both stopped.
Staggered Formation - This is the best way to keep ranks close yet
maintain an adequate space cushion. The leader rides in the left side
of the lane, while the second rider stays one second behind in the right
side of the lane.

Ride the Ozarks! At Bikes Blues and BBQ, you’ll
find some of the best roads you’ll ever travel;
winding, blue highways through the mountains,
breath-taking scenery, and some of the
friendliest people you’ll ever meet.
The rally itself? Free live music, hundreds of vendors, factory demo rides, and unique
attractions (think pig races and lawn mower pulls). Every bit of profit goes to support local
charities. So put BBB on your ride calendar. After all, 400,000 people can’t be wrong.
