      A few safety tips from my side.

      1. Wear a helmet, jacket, gloves, shoes, jeans, elbow and knee guards while riding.

      2. Same for your pillion.

      3. Carry all the documents(driving license, vehicle registration certificate, insurance certificate, pollution under control certificate) so that you may not face any problems if the cops catch you.

      4. Keep a puncture repair kit and a few spares(accelerator and clutch cables and levers, bulbs) with you.

      5. Don't talk to strangers unnecessarily.

      That's all I can think of now.
      Hope you have a great time here.

      Ride safe
