Safety Helmet and
Clothing
Failure to wear a crash helmet
increases the risk of serious injury
or death in an accident. A crash
helmet is one of the most
important pieces of riding gear as
it offers protection against head
injuries. You and your passenger's
crash helmet should be carefully
chosen and should fit you or your
passenger's head comfortably and
securely. A brightly colored 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.
When choosing a helmet, always
look for a DOT (Department of
Transport) sticker indicating that
the helmet has DOT approval. Do
not buy a helmet without DOT
approval.
Always wear a visor or approved
goggles to help vision and to
protect your eyes.

A weave is
a relatively slow
oscillation of the rear of the
motorcycle, while a wobble is a
rapid, possibly strong shaking of
the handlebar. These are related
but distinct stability problems
usually caused by excessive
weight in the wrong place, or by a
mechanical problem such as worn
or loose bearings or under
- inflated
or unevenly worn tires.
Your solution to both situations is
the same. Keep a firm hold on the
handlebars without locking arms
or fighting the steering. Smoothly
ease off the throttle to slow
gradually. Do notapply the brakes,
and do not accelerate totry tostop
the wobble or weave. In some
