Are You Ready to Ride?
Helmet and Eye Protection
Your helmet is your most important piece of riding gear because it offers the
best protection against head injuries. A helmet should fit your head comfortably
and securely. A bright-colored helmet and reflective strips can make you more
noticeable in traffic.
An open-face helmet offers some protection, but a full-face helmet offers more.
Regardless of the style, look for a DOT (Department of Transportation) sticker
on any helmet you buy (USA only). Always wear a face shield or goggles to
protect your eyes and help your vision.
Not wearing a helmet increases
the chance of serious injury or
death in a crash.
Be sure you and your passenger
always wear a helmet, eye
protection, and other protective
apparel when you ride.
Additional Riding Gear
In addition to a helmet and eye protection, we also recommend:
• Sturdy boots with non-slip soles to help protect your feet and ankles.
• Leather gloves to help protect your hands.
• A motorcycle riding suit or jacket for comfort as well as protection.
Bright-colored and reflective clothing can help make you more noticeable in
traffic. Avoid loose clothes that could get caught on any part of your
motorcycle.
