Step 1: Protect your Noggin and Eyes
Wearing a helmet will protect you from serious injury or death. Nearly three-fourths of fatalities in motorcycle accidents are due to head injuries. Choose a helmet that has a DOT or sticker …. Helmet should fit snugly and be comfortable. Helmet should be replaced every three years.
If a helmet is dropped or impacted, it should be replaced immediately. Clean the helmet with mild soap and water.
If not wearing a full-face helmet, add goggles to protect the eyes from airborne dust and debris.
