After yesterdays deadly motorcycle accident, many riders are stressing safety on the road. John Rische teaches motorcycle safety classes at the motorcycle training center here in Lubbock. He says usually the problem on the road is twofold: there are too many untrained motorcycle riders, and people in other vehicles arent really looking out for riders. He says all riders should learn safety strategies before they hit the open road. "What we teach them is theres a risk to riding a motorcycle, everyone knows that theres a risk to riding, but what we try to teach you to do is manage that risk, we try to give you strategies to use out on the street to survive."
