The Clermont HOG Chapter prides itself on SAFETY while its members Ride, Have Fun, and Make Friends for a Lifetime.
This safety page is provided as a reference resource only to its chapter members. Resources selected are from known authoritative sources such as the Motorcycle Safety Foundation, Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, Basic Rider’s Course Handbook, Florida State Motorcycle Handbook (Division of Motor Vehicles), and Harley-Davidson USA Safe Riding web site.
The chapter is always open to suggestions or concerns about rider safety. Matters of safety should be brought to the SAFETY OFFICER’s immediate attention or by e-mailing the Safety Officer.
The below safety resources and reference guides are just that and should never replace common sense when conditions change. Riders should NEVER go beyond their skills, knowledge, abilities or their riding experience when hazardous road conditions, inclement weather, or other extraordinary circumstances exist or potentially could result.
