MOTORCYCLE SAFETY

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Your motorcycle can provide many years of
service and pleasure
responsibility for your own safety and
understand the challenges that you can meet
on the road.
There is much that you can do to protect
yourself when you ride. You'll find many
helpful recommendations throughout this
manual. Following are a few that we consider
most important.
Always Wear a Helmet
It's a proven fact: Helmets significantly reduce
the number and severity of head injuries. So
always wear an approved motorcycle helmet
and make sure your passenger does the
same. We also recommend that you wear eye
protection, sturdy boots, gloves and other
protective gear (page 2).

Make Yourself Easy to See
Some drivers do not see motorcycles because
they are not looking for them. To make
yourself more visible, wear bright reflective
clothing, position yourself so other drivers can
see you, signal before turning or changing
lanes, and use your horn when it will help
others notice you.
Ride Within Your Limits
Pushing the limits is another major cause of
motorcycle accidents. Never ride beyond your
personal abilities or faster than conditions
warrant. Remember that alcohol, drugs,
fatigue and inattention can significantly reduce
your ability to make good judgements and ride
safety.
