S is for Safety – Sober and unimpaired, check brakes, lights, tires.
M is for Maturity – Ride within your skill limits and limits of your motorcycle.
A is for Awareness – Pay attention to your surroundings, road conditions, and your passenger.
R is for Respect – Be respectful of yourself, your passenger, and ALL other road users.
