Today’s tip is about traveling. When planning a trip, make sure you research the laws that are in effect for the places you are going to and through.
Helmet Laws: Although those are good to know, you can check them out at: https://www.iihs.org/topics/motorcycles/motorcycle-helmet-laws-table. In Florida you must have proof of medical insurance to ride without a helmet.
Concealed Carry: There are some states that have different laws than you are used to. Even if you are not from that state, you are required to follow those laws when riding into that state.
Eye Protection: For example: In Illinois you are required to wear eye protection unless you have a windshield.
Neon Lights: You can run neon lighting on your bike (under tank) as long as it is shining down, not strobing/ flashing, and not with the colors of red or blue.
There are many other laws that may affect you if you are traveling outside your normal area. So make sure you are prepared before you travel and do your research.
