24. When starting your motorcycle, the engine should be in:

First gear.

Neutral.

Third gear.

Make sure your motorcycle's transmission is in neutral before you start the engine. Most motorcycles have a neutral indicator on the speedometer that lights up when the ignition switch is on and the cycle is in neutral.

25. A benefit of keeping a cushion of space between you and surrounding vehicles is that:

You are better able to draft off of other vehicles.

You will be able to stop quickly.

You will have more time to react to the movements of other drivers.

It is important to maintain a cushion of space around your motorcycle at all times. This way, if a hazard arises, you will have more time to respond to the hazard and more space to safely maneuver.

26. Reflective, brightly-colored helmets and clothing:

Should only be worn when riding at night.

Can help motorcycle riders be more visible.

Do not increase a motorcycle rider's safety.

Wearing brightly-colored or reflective clothing can increase your chances of being seen by other road users.

27. When riding, jackets and pants should:

Fit loosely enough to allow the wind to catch the fabric.

Be snug enough to keep from flapping in the wind.

Be tight enough to prevent you from moving freely.

Jackets and pants should fit snugly enough that they do not flap in the wind, but also loosely enough that you are able to move freely.

28. You have an improved chance of avoiding serious injury in a crash if you wear:

Face or eye protection.

A baseball cap.

Sneakers.

Wearing a helmet is your best defense against injury while riding a motorcycle. Wearing a plastic, shatter-resistant face shield can help protect your face from injury in a crash.

29. To minimize the potential for fatigue, you should:

Turn on the radio.

Take frequent rest breaks.

Drink caffeine.

Taking frequent rest breaks during a long trip can help reduce fatigue. Stimulants, such as caffeine, can ultimately increase the danger of fatigue because you may become extremely tired when they begin to wear off. Wind, rain, snow, and other elements can also increase levels of fatigue, so dress warmly (as needed) and invest in a windshield, especially if you plan to ride long distances.

30. If you borrow a motorcycle, you should:

Assume all controls are in the same location as they are on your motorcycle.

Immediately take it out on the highway.

Get familiar with it in a controlled area.

All motorcycles are at least somewhat different. Before riding a motorcycle that is new to you, take the time to learn where all of the controls are. Ride the motorcycle in a controlled area to get used to it before taking it out on the road.
