Transporting Your
Motorcycle
If your motorcycle needs to be transported, it
should be carried on a motorcycle trailer or a

Transporting Your Motorcycle

You & the Environment
Owning and riding a motorcycle can be
enjoyable, but you must do your part to protect
the environment.
Choose Sensible Cleaners
Use a biodegradable detergent when you wash
your motorcycle. Avoid aerosol spray cleaners that
contain chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) which damage
the atmosphere's protective ozone layer.
Recycle Wastes
Put oil and other toxic wastes in approved
containers and take them to a recycling centre.
Call your local or state office of public works or
environmental services to find a recycling centre in
your area, and to get instructions on how to
dispose of non-recyclable wastes. Do not place
used engine oil in the trash, or pour it down a
drain or on the ground. Used oil, petrol, coolant,
and cleaning solvents contain poisons that can
hurt refuse workers and contaminate drinking
water, lakes, rivers, and oceans.
