The Warrior's Code

Prepared Mind

Every ride begins before you touch the motorcycle. Mental preparation, route planning, and gear inspection are as important as fuel in your tank.

Defensive Posture

Assume invisibility. Assume unpredictability in others. Position yourself with escape routes, maintain spacing, and never trust that others see you.

Continuous Learning

Every close call is a lesson. Every safe ride is practice. Skills deteriorate without practice, so train deliberately and often.

Gear as Armor

Your protective gear is not optional equipment—it's your armor in the battlefield of traffic. Choose it wisely, maintain it properly, wear it always.
