How to avoid motorcycle accident?

Riding a motorcycle is somewhat of an adventure that no man (and some women) can deny. There's a very fine reason why outrageously expensive super bikes and manufactured and purchased; why Valentino Rossi is considered god of racing and why people will leave jobs and homes behind to go cross-county biking on their Harley Davidsons. As thrilling as it may be, in the case of an accident, motorbikes and bikers are just as dangerous and they are adventurous. This is possibly a reason why fatalities in bike accidents are always much higher than in car or other accidents
The essential reason for this is that bikes offer very little protection to the riders, unlike a car or any vehicle. The balance is also quite unstable. An inexpert rider will not be able to handle sharp turns and rough spots at high speeds. Bikers themselves are quite open to elements of nature. Rainfall, winds and dust can make things very risky for bikes. A small pebble hitting a biker's face when he's at a good speed could emit disaster.

However, there are many other causes which could be totally avoided thus making riding much safer to practice:
1. Proper Maintenance: Frequently, badly maintained bikes are the root of accidents. Bikes that are wobbly, that give uneasy handling and that are not serviced and checked frequently are quite prone to taking a bad hit in accidents. It makes things particularly unsafe for the biker. Getting specific part checked by professionals, replacing tires when they're due and taking care of all the small things that bother you is quite important.
2. Faulty Technique: Riding isn't as simple as revving the accelerated and pressing down on the clutch. Different situations on the road, the weather and the traffic call for a different kind of riding technique and a different mindset. For example, while riding on irritate - bikers must be careful not to accelerate too much and brake too quickly. While riding through an oil spill, bikers should know how to maintain control and stability while moving along.
3. Pedestrians: There is no point in crashing into a pedestrian and then claiming that he crossed at the wrong time. Since he was a poor chap on feet, and you were the big guy on two wheels - you will be held responsible. It is important to be able to anticipate pedestrian behavior.
4. Weather Precautions: Riding in bad weather per se is not risky, provided one knows what precautions to take. For example, riding in the rain will require rain proof jackets, water proof shoes, large goggles that can keep mud out of your eye and also lots of common sense. In this case too, experience and technique matters.

These safety measures may sound trite, but their importance is accentuated when you are involved in an accident, and you have to prove that you were not at fault. If you take care of the above things, you will be able to get away unscathed.
Motorcycle accident claims can usually be quite successful and get victims goods road accident compensation, provided bikers are found to be observant of the law.
