WARNING
For your safety, we strongly recommend that you always wear an
approved motorcycle, eye protection, boots, gloves, long pants,
and a long-sleeved shirt or jacket whenever you ride.
Although complete protection is not possible, wearing proper
gear can reduce the chance of injury when you ride.
Helmet
Wearing a helmet can prevent head injuries. At all times, you
must wear a helmet that meets basic safety standards when
driving. Both U. S. and Canadian qualified helmets bear a U.
S. Department of Transportation label. ECE 22.05 marks are
available in Europe, Asia and Oceania. The ECE mark consists of
a circle around the letter E, followed by the approved area codes
for different countries. The approval number and serial number
are also displayed in the label.
Additional Riding Gear
Sturdy off-rode motorcycle boots to help protect your feet,
ankles, and lower legs.
Off-road motorcycle gloves to help protect your hands.
Riding pants with knee and hip pads, a riding jersey with padded
elbows, and a chest/ shoulder protector.
