most important part of your safety gear because it can
help prevent a serious head injury. Choose a helmet
that fits snugly. Retailers can help in selecting a good
quality helmet, which fits properly.
Always wear eye protection when you ride. If a rock or
branch hit your eyes, you could be severely injured.

protection incase of an incident.
Long Pants I Riding Pants:
Never wear shorts to ride a motorcycle. Motorcycles

pants.

Footwear should cover your ankles and support them
