Helmet and Clothing
Warning
When riding the motorcycle, both rider
and passenger 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.

Riding
Warning
Never ride the motorcycle when
fatigued or under the influence of
alcohol or other drugs.
Riding when under the influence of
alcohol or other drugs is illegal.
Riding when fatigued or under the
influence of alcohol or other drugs
reduces the rider's ability to maintain
control of the motorcycle and may lead
to loss of control and an accident.
Warning
All riders must be licenced to operate
the motorcycle. Operation of the
motorcycle without a licence is illegal
and could lead to prosecution.
Operation of the motorcycle without
formal training in the correct riding
techniques that are necessary to
become licenced is dangerous and may
lead to loss of motorcycle control and
an accident.
Warning
Always ride defensively and wear the
protective equipment mentioned
elsewhere in this foreword. Remember,
in an accident, a motorcycle does not
give the same impact protection as a
car.
