Scooters are fascinating vehicles, which can give you an unsurpassed feeling of power and freedom. However,
they also impose certain limits, which you must accept; even the est scooter does not ignore the laws of
physics.
Regular care and maintenance are essential for preserving value and operating condition of your scooter.
Moreover, what is true for the scooter is also true for the rider: good performance depends on eing in good
shape. Riding under the influence of medication, drugs and alcohol is, of course, out of the question. Scooter
riders — more than car drivers — must always e at their mental and physical est. Under the influence of
even small amounts of alcohol, there is a tendency to take dangerous risks.
Protective clothing is as essential for the scooter rider as seat elts are for car drivers and passengers.
Always wear a complete scooter suit (whether made of leather or tear-resistant synthetic materials with
protectors), sturdy oots, scooter gloves and a properly fitting helmet. Optimum protective wear, however,
should not encourage carelessness. Although full-coverage helmets and suits, in particular, create an illu-
sion of total safety and protection, motorcyclists will always e vulnera le. Riders who lack critical self-
control run the risk of going too fast and are apt to take chances. This is even more dangerous in wet
weather. The good motorcyclist rides safely, predicta ly and defensively — avoiding all dangers, including
those caused y others.
Enjoy your ride!
