1.Wear proper eye safety gear at night, so that the Lights of incoming vehicles don't flash right into your eyes. When buying shades try buying those through which you can look at the sun straight for 1 min or so. Wear clear glasses at night at any case, chances are that a insect might hit you in the eye... Our hand's natural reflex is to to rub the eye and imagine doing so while whistling at a speed of 100kms in middle of a highway!
2.Do you switch the engine off or put it in neutral while descending a hill? This is an absolute no! First reason, in neutral gear there will be no engine braking - if the slope increases suddenly then your will not be able to anticipate your braking and bad things can happen. Second reason, if you approach a plain surface and if you need to overtake a truck or something, you will not be able to do so. Generally speaking, you will not be able to anticipate the behavior of the vehicle when it is turned off. So never do it.
3.Look out for cow dung, cricket ball sized stones, rounded pipes or even bundles of cloth. Enough to tip you over in a flip of eye. Also try avoiding hitting out small animals, they tend to lock up in the rear tire.
4.Never overtake from wrong side. If some vehicle approaching from the opposite direction goes wary, the vehicle you are overtaking will move to the left naturally which is extremely risky for you. Also, don't overtake if overtaking lands you on a road which is joined by another road. Chances are another vehicles may just cut in at that moment.
5.Always help accident cases, nowadays the law is quite liberal. So you won't be harassed by anyone. Imagine you or your near dear ones lying on the road wounded and others just passing by casually.
6.Always use indicators to signal you turning, at least a few meters from your actual turning point. Sticking out a wide hand when turning, can be risky in two ways, you can hurt yourself by a close ongoing vehicle and also you cannot a control a bike with one hand.
7.Some vehicles are driven by mad people. They honk the horns in a rude manner and flash the high beams wildly. Never lose your cool in such situations. If you move suddenly, then other vehicles would not have anticipated your move. Give way to them slowly. Such drivers are also very attentive and hence staying where you are will not harm you (except your ears if he is honking so badly!).
Enjoy riding and be safe...
