Don't Drink and Ride
Don't mix Alcohol and riding. Even one

time gets worse with every additional drink.
So don't drink and ride, and don't let your

PROTECTIVE APPAREL

For your safety, we strongly recommend
that you always wear an approved helmet,
eye protection, boots, gloves, long pants,

choose proper gear.
WARNING
!
Not wearing a helmet increases the
chance of serious injury or death in a
crash.
Be sure you and your passenger always
wear a helmet, eye protection and other
protective apparel when you ride.
Helmets and Eye Protection
Your helmet is your most important piece
of riding gear because it offers the best
protection against head injuries. A helmet
should fit your head comfortably and
securely. A bright-coloured helmet can
make you more noticeable in traffic, as can
reflective strips.
An open-face helmet offers some protection,
but a full-face helmet offers more. Always
wear a face shield or goggles to protect
your eyes and help your vision.
