"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure"
- Ben Franklin
Don's Honda is committed to the safety of our industry. We believe that many
factors go into being safe: being trained to ride properly, wearing the
proper equipment, and being aware when you ride. Let's face it, our
industry is under attack. Every time one of us gets injured, be it on a
motorcycle or on an ATV or even a watercraft, we become a statistic. And these
statistics are being used to against us to limit our freedoms and to regulate
our sport into non-existence. Not to mention that being injured prevents us
from doing what we want to do, which is ride!
To this end we are dedicating a page on our site to those who are more
qualified than us to provide safety information to you, our customers. This
ranges from Iowa Motorcycle laws and licensing information, to safety
courses for both motorcycles and ATV's. As we find more sites related to
safety and protecting our industry, we will put links to them here.
