Helmet and Clothing
Warning
cbma
When riding the motorcycle, both rider
and passenger (on models where
carrying a passenger is permitted)
must always wear a motorcycle helmet,
eye protection, gloves, boots, trousers
(close fitting around the knee and
ankle) and a brightly coloured jacket.
Brightly coloured 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 coloured
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.
