NewsChannel 13 has covered an increasing number of serious and even deadly motorcycle crashes this year.
With the weather heating up here in the summertime, this is the perfect time for riders to get out on the road and enjoy themselves.
More people are taking their motorcycles out now.
Motorcycles are smaller, so riders aren’t always clearly seen. That can lead to disasters.
Something that can help motorcycle riders of all experience levels is getting extra training. For example, your average freeway motorcyclist can learn a lot about stability by hopping on a dirt bike and going off-road.
A good place to find training is at the New York State Motorcycle Safety Program.
Learn about what motorcycle experts think could be attributing to the rise in crashes, by watching the video of Steve Kuzj’s story.
