Well, it&#8217;s always riding season in Pembroke Pines. Florida&#8217;s warm weather and wide open roads make for great motorcycling all year round, but we can&#8217;t forget to stay safe out there. It&#8217;s good to know that your insurer has you covered in the event of an accident, but it&#8217; best not to get into an accident in the first place. Here are some safety tips to keep in mind on your next adventure:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Dress appropriately. Florida gets pretty hot and humid, but there&#8217;s no excuse for inadequate attire on a bike. T-shirts, shorts and sandals are great for the beach, but jackets, pants, covered shoes and helmet are a must even for a short ride.<\/li>\n<li>Check the weather. The drier the conditions, the safer your ride will be. High humidity immediately following a heavy rain can leave the roads slick with near-invisible water.<\/li>\n<li>Stay in practice. Riding motorcycle is&nbsp;<em>not<\/em>&nbsp;exactly like riding a bicycle. We hone our instincts and abilities through regular riding. If you find yourself having to take some time off, start slow when you&#8217;re ready to get back at it. Shorter rides and training courses can help you to get back to the top of your game.<\/li>\n<li>Check your bike before every ride. Look for oil spots under the bike, check your tires, test the brakes and keep your mirrors clean.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And always, always ride defensively. The real danger for a motorcyclist is careless drivers, so be ready for anything.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking to get covered before your next trip, get in touch with McCormick Insurance Inc. and see what we can do for you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s riding season in Pembroke Pines, FL.
