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.




Step 2: Protect Your Skin

Wear long sleeves and long pants. No skin should be exposed.

Wear full-fingered, snug fitting gloves. Purchase rain gear that is made for riders, which has elastic on the arms and legs.



 


Step 3: Protect Bonesalt
Choose a jacket with protective armor that is manufactured specifically for motorcycle riders, which is longer in the sleeves and legs so that skin is covered when rider is seated.

Wear boots that cover the ankles and have rubber grip soles.

Step 4: Be Visible
Wear a bold color like orange, or choose a jacket with reflective piping. Add a reflective vest if wearing a dark jacket.
