SAFETY FIRST
09
Helmet and Clothing
Warning
When riding the motorcycle, both rider
and passenger (on models where
carrying a passenger is permitted)
must always wear appropriate clothing
including a motorcycle helmet, eye
protection, gloves, boots, trousers
(close fitting around the knee and
ankle) and a brightly colored jacket.
During off-road use (on models
suitable for off-road use), the rider
must always wear appropriate clothing
including trousers and boots.
Brightly colored clothing will
considerably increase a rider's (or
passenger's)
visibility to other
operators of road vehicles.
Although full protection is not
possible, wearing correct protective
clothing can reduce the risk of injury
when riding.
Warning
A helmet is one of the most important
pieces of riding gear as it offers
protection against head injuries. You
and your passenger's helmet should
be carefully chosen and should fit you
or your passenger's head comfortably
and securely. A brightly colored
helmet will increase a rider's (or
passenger's)
visibility to other
operators of road vehicles.
An open face helmet offers some
protection in an accident though a full
face helmet will offer more.
Always wear a visor or approved
goggles to help vision and to protect
your eyes.
When choosing a helmet, always look for
a DOT (Department of Transport) sticker
indicating that the helmet has DOT
approval. Do not buy a helmet without
DOT approval.
