Ì´m safe, or IMSAFE

[Nachodaddy]

Few insights from aviation do apply to riding a m/c.
Here is one that does, the idea is very simple. The pilot (here rider) asks himself, while still on the way to the airport “am I fit to fly or take the controls?”

In order to make sure, nothing gets overlooked in the heat of the day he uses what’s called a mnemonic (if unfamiliar look the term up on wiki).
And the mnemonic on hand is called IMSAFE, standing for
I-llness (am I ill ?)
M-edication (did I ...
S-tress (am I ...
A-lcohol
F-atigue
E-motion

Looks to me as this applies one to one to riding a m/c. If you think you know a valid exception post it below. Good thing is, like with all mnemonics, it’s very easy to remember.
