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, serious 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 10; 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.
