Perfect for your head |
| |
|
When you buy a helmet, make
sure it fits properly. Try it on; it should be comfortable to wear,
neither too tight nor too loose. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Get the approval |
|
|
|
Did you know that all
adult-sized motorcycle helmets now sold in the United States must have a
sticker indicating DOT (Department of Transportation) approval, which
means that the helmet meets certain basic impact standards? Don't buy a
helmet without one. It may not live up to standards. |

|
|
Clean sight |
| |
|
Make sure your eye protection
is clean and unscratched. If you use a tinted lens or shield for riding
in the bright sunlight, have a clear one along as well, in case you are
riding after dark. |

Not only for fashion |
| |
|
Motorcycle jackets are made in
many sturdy materials: denim, nylon in its various guises, corduroy, and
leather. The hide of a cow, or any other commonly used leather, offers
you the most protection when it comes to abrasion. |

|
|
Leather for all climates |
| |
|
You can buy leather jackets
with zippered vents, which are comfortable to wear even in hot weather
as they allow a breeze to flow through. |
