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.

Never wear loose clothing, items or accessories
that may become tangled in motorcycle parts.

For your safety, always wear suitable protective
gear, regardless of season and weather.
