Motorcycle Safety
Never refuel in any proximity to any sources of ignition such as smokers,
open flames or embers etc.
Gasoline is poisonous and can cause injuries, in the case of swallowing
gasoline, inhaling gasoline vapours or contact with eyes, see your
doctor immediately.
In the case of gasoline contact on your skin, wash with soap and water. If
gasoline spills on your clothing, change your clothes.
SAFETY EQUIPMENT
Thumpstar Motorbikes promote the use of safety equipment during
the use of your bike; the following list is an advisory guideline of the
equipment that should be obtained before using your bike for the first
time, and to be used for every ride regardless of experience and skill level.
HELMET
A helmet is the most important piece of protective equipment and
should be worn at all times the motorcycle is being ridden.
Select a helmet that complies with the Standard Protective
helmets for motorcycle users. These helmets meet the requirements for
on-road and off-road use.
Ensure the helmet fits the operator snugly, is securely fastened
and provides good, all-round visibility. A poorly-fitting or loose helmet
can become dislodged in an incident and then offer no protection at all.
