 WARNING
If you don't wear a helmet, you have
an increased risk of death or severe
injury in a crash. If you wear a helmet
that doesn't fit properly or is not
securely strapped on, the helmet
may not provide the protection for
which it was designed.
The rider and passenger should be
sure to wear a helmet that fits prop-
erly and is securely strapped on.
Riding gear
• Wear protective
clothing that affords a high level of
protection. Wear bright, eye-catch-
ing long-sleeved uppers and full-
length trousers that expose a mini-
mum of skin. This will reduce the
impact of unexpected events on the
body. Loose, fancy clothing can be
uncomfortable and unsafe when rid-
ing your motorcycle. Choose good
quality motorcycle riding apparel
when riding your motorcycle.
• Be sure to wear gloves. Gloves
made of friction-resistant leather are
suitable.
• Wear footwear that is easy to oper-
ate the motorcycle in, and which
covers your ankles.
• When necessary, wear jackets and
trousers fitted with protectors.
