Fasteners - General Inspection
Make sure the motorcycle is stabilised and adequately supported.
A correctly supported motorcycle will help prevent it from falling.
An unstable motorcycle may fall, causing injury to the operator or damage to the
motorcycle.
Check all visible fasteners for security. Make sure any encapsulated fasteners that have
been loosened or removed are replaced.
Road Test
When riding the motorcycle the rider must always wear a safety 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
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.
A safety helmet is one of the most important pieces of riding gear as it offers
protection against head injuries. Your safety helmet should be carefully chosen and
should fit your head comfortably and securely. A brightly coloured safety helmet will
increase a rider'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.
