Midland Motorcycle Shops offers security tips in the middle of the recent motorcycle accidents

Family Powersports gave security tips in the recent crashes with motorcycles in the Perm basin.

Midland, Texas-AM Tuesday at the intersection of Midkiff and Moss in Midland drove his new motorcycle at high speed at high speed when he was hit and killed by an oncoming SUV.

After his death there was another local interest in motorcycle security, especially because in Texas in 2024 there were over 2,400 vehicle accidents per Perm -Road Safety Coalition in 2024, whereby 600 people died.

“Unfortunately, it happens in this area – quite often, a few times a week, a few times a week. It only depends on it, ”said Ben Rivera, seller of Family Powersports of Midland.

The primary resource for the right security training is a certain motorcycle security course. This teaches you the basics of how you drive a motorcycle properly and the steps you have to take to ensure your safety and that of others. These are relatively easy to register and can be found in certain places or in other places such as Harley Davidson in Odessa and even in other places such as Midland College.

As Rivera describes: “So there is a company called MSF, you do it from Midland College. It is a weekend class, Saturday and Sunday, and it is actually a prerequisite that you receive your M -confirmation for your driver's license. Taking the security course is probably the greatest. And just practice. Learn how to break, how to control your motorcycle and are aware of the conditions that may happen when you are on your motorcycle. “

Of course, there are other precautions that you have to take, the proper safety equipment such as helmet and pads. The motorcycle groups we spoke to say that there is no excuse not to take reasonable safety precautions and hope that prices will drop over time.
