Don't Drink and Ride
Alcohol and riding don't mix. Even one
drink can reduce your ability to respond to
changing conditions, and your reaction time
gets worse with every additional drink. So
don't drink and ride, and don't let your
friends drink and ride either.
Keep Your Bike in Safe Condition
It's important to keep your motorcycle
properly maintained and in safe riding
condition. Having a breakdown can be
difficult, especially if you are stranded off-
road far from your base. To help avoid
problems, inspect your motorcycle before
every ride and perform all recommended
maintenance.
PROTECTIVE APPAREL
For your safety, we strongly recommend
that you always wear an approved
motorcycle helmet, eye protection, boots,
gloves, trousers, and a long-sleeved jersey,
shirt or jacket whenever you ride. Although
complete protection is not possible, wearing
proper gear can reduce the chance of injury
when you ride.
Following are suggestions to help you
choose proper gear.
Not wearing a helmet increases the
chance of serious injury or death in a
crash.
Be sure you always wear a helmet, eye
protection and other protective apparel
when you ride.
