Rider's training

Accidents are frequently due to inexperience. Riding,
manoeuvres and braking must be performed in a
different way than on the other vehicles.
Warning
Untrained riders or a wrong use of the vehicle
may lead to loss of control, serous injuries or even
death.

Apparel

Riding gear is very important for safety. Unlike cars,
a motorcycle offers no impact protection in an
accident.
Proper riding gear includes helmet, eye protection,
gloves, boots, long sleeve jacket and long trousers.
- The helmet must meet the requirements listed
at page 7; if your helmet does not have a visor,
use suitable eye wear;
- Use five-finger gloves made from leather or
abrasion-resistant material;
- Riding boots or shoes must have non-slip soles
and offer ankle protection;
- Jacket, trousers or riding suit must be made from
leather or abrasion-resistant material and have
high-visibility colours and inserts.
Important
Never wear loose clothing, items or accessories
that may become tangled in motorcycle parts.
Important
For your safety, always wear suitable protective
gear, regardless of season and weather.
Important
Have your passenger wear proper protective
clothing.

Safety "Best Practices"

These few simple operations are critical to people
safety and to preserving the full performance of your

while and after riding.
