MOTORCYCLING
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Wear a helmet and goggles
A helmet is the most important
piece of gear to wear. Helmets do
not reduce essential vision or
hearing. Generally, helmets do
not cause or intensify injury if you
crash. Helmets simply help your
skull protect your intelligence,
your memory, your personality,
and your life.
Your eyesight is equally valuable.
Wearing suitable eye protection
can help keep your vision
unblurred by the wind and help
shield your eyes from branches
and airborne matter like bugs,
dirt, or pebbles kicked up by tires.
Wear a helmet and eye protection
every time you ride.
Wear protective gear
Wear proper clothing when you
ride. Avoid loose clothes or
scarves, which could get caught
in moving parts. Abrasion injuries
can be minimized by wearing pro-
tective clothing including gloves,
strong boots that fit over the
ankle, long pants, and a long
sleeve shirt or jackets. Experi-
enced riders often wear a kidney
belt and chest or back protector
for additional comfort and protec-
tion.
Inspect your machine before
riding
Before each use, perform an
inspection per “INSPECTION
BEFORE RIDING” section start-
ing on page 4-3.
No Passengers

Practice before competing
Before you begin competing, you

Review the controls on your
motorcycle before riding.
