GIVE SAFETY THE RIGHT OF WAY
Scooters are fascinating vehicles, which can give you an unsurpassed feeling of power and freedom. However,
they also impose certain limits, which you must accept; even the best scooter does not ignore the laws of physics.
Regular care and maintenance are essential for preserving value and operating condition of your scooter. Moreover,
what is true for the scooter is also true for the rider: good performance depends on being in good shape. Riding
under the influence of medication, drugs and alcohol is, of course, out of the question. Scooter riders-more than
car drivers-must always be at their mental and physical best. Under the influence of even small amounts of
alcohol, there is a tendency to take dangerous risks.
Protective clothing is as essential for the scooter rider as seat belts are for car drivers and passengers. Always
wear a complete scooter suit (whether made of leather or tear-resistant synthetic materials with protectors),
sturdy boots, scooter gloves and a properly fitting helmet. Optimum protective wear, however, should not encou-
rage carelessness. Although full-coverage helmets and suits, in particular, create an illusion of total safety and
protection, motorcyclists will always be vulnerable. Riders who lack critical self-control run the risk of going too
fast and are apt to take chances. This is even more dangerous in wet weather. The good motorcyclist rides safely,
predictably and defensively-avoiding all dangers, including those caused by others.
Enjoy your ride!
