RIDING GEAR
idea to carry rain gear. A dry rider will
be much more comfortable and alert
than a rider who is wet and cold.
One or two-piece styles are available,
and those designed specifically for mo-
torcycling are best. High-visibility or-
ange or yellow colors are good choices.
A feature to look for is elastic in the
waist, pant legs and sleeves. The
jacket should have a high collar and
zip up with wide flaps across the open-
ing. When purchasing a rain suit, con-
sider adding waterproof gloves and
footwear.
Remember, if the weather is wet, it is
best to avoid riding. If you do ride in
wet weather, you may need to stop if
water starts to accumulate on the road.
Hearing Protection
Long-term exposure to wind and mo-
tor noise when riding can cause per-
manent hearing loss. Properly worn
hearing protective devices such as
earplugs can help prevent hearing loss.
Check local laws before using any hear-
ing protective devices.
