Drive safely

Drive safely for car driving.
For motorcycle driving what do we say. Ride safely?

It should be that, although I've never seen a sign on the road. But you could say it to somebody about to ride off on a motorcycle.

Do NOT say this:

Rusty has a spectacular aura aboutRusty has a spectacular aura about
'Drive safely' is directed at the driver of the vehicle, whatever it may be. I would say this to a motorcyclist.

That said, I'm sure there are some who would say 'ride safely' to a motorcyclist.
I have used 'ride safely' when I'm suggesting that a child operate his bicycle carefully.

It seems that both may be used, even though I would personally use 'drive' when addressing a motorcyclist and 'ride' when addressing a child on a bike.
