Safety - Don't be a victim of the dry climate -- carry lots of water

DOT approved helmets are REQUIRED during all MTF rides. The MTF strongly encourages the use of motorcycle specific protective clothing and footwear while participating in any MTF ride. All-the-gear-All-the-time (ATGATT) reduces the severity of injuries in an accident. We want every participant in our rides to be as safe as possible.

Also the MTF strongly encourages each participant in our events to self assess their riding style, interests, need for breaks and riding skill level and to keep that assessment in mind when choosing a riding partner or small group (2-4 riders) to ride with at our events. Sharing the road with someone of similar interests and riding style not only makes the ride more enjoyable for you, but safer for everyone.
