Safety information

Always wear a helmet, gloves,
trousers (tapered around the cuff
and ankle so they do not flap), and
a brightly colored jacket.
Do not carry too much luggage on
the motorcycle. An overloaded
motorcycle is unstable. Use a
strong cord to secure any luggage
to the carrier (if equipped). A loose
load will affect the stability of the
motorcycle and could divert your
attention from the road. (See page
2-3.)

met is the single most critical factor in
the prevention or reduction of head in-
juries.
