1. When looking for a protective jacket or pair of pants, you should look for:

Items made of leather.

Items made of polyester.

Items made of light materials.

Items that are darkly-colored.

It is safest to wear long pants and a jacket to fully cover your arms and legs while riding. Clothing made of leather can provide the highest level of protection.

2. If taking a long trip, you should:

Try to minimize the number of rest breaks.

Use artificial stimulants, like caffeine, if you feel drowsy.

Dress warmly to avoid getting too cold during the ride.

Schedule more than 12 hours of riding a day.

To reduce the risk of fatigue on a long trip, dress to protect yourself from tiring elements, such as wind, cold, and rain. Limit yourself to no more than six hours of riding per day and take rest brakes at least every two hours. Avoid using artificial stimulants, as these only result in extreme fatigue when they wear off.

3. If you are being chased by a dog, you should:

Kick it away.

Stop until the animal loses interest.

Swerve around the animal.

Approach the animal slowly, then speed up.

Motorcycles often seem to attract dogs. If you are being chased by a dog, downshift and approach it slowly. Then, as you approach the dog, accelerate and leave it behind.

Protect your face, but not your eyes.

Are unimportant.

Should only be done on long trips.

Should be part of your normal scanning routine.
