MOTORCYCLE SAFETY

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
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.
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.

Not wearing a helmet increases the
chance of serious injury or death in
a crash.
Be sure you and your passenger

protection and other protective
apparel when you ride.
