Motorcycle Safety: Types, Differences, and Riding Techniques, Exams of Physical Education and Motor Learning

Information on three types of motorcycles, their primary uses, and distinguishing characteristics. It also covers two primary differences between cars/trucks and motorcycles, the causes and prevention of motorcycle crashes, and the importance of proper eye protection and gear. Additionally, it discusses the basic rider course and its benefits.

designed for use on public streets and highways. They
have all the equipment for safe and enjoyable street op-

on the street and off-road trails. Off-road motorcycles are
not street-legal, and are typically used for recreational or
competitive use.
