insure safety, prevent mishaps, and prevent damage to components.

to operating the vehicle.
Full attention is required during driving; paying close attention to the following points
to avoid any injury to you by other motorized vehicles:
· Always wear an approved DOT (Department of Transportation) helmet. It is a
proven fact that helmets reduce the number of severe head injuries. Never ride, or
let a child ride without a DOT approved motorcycle helmet.

pants, riding boots and gloves.
