Motorcyclists across the state are urged to put on their safety gear before hitting the road.  ABATE's Judy Kaenel [[Kay-nell]] says wearing a helmet, gloves, long pants, and a jacket can be a vital source of protection in the event of an accident.

Kaenel also recommends riders wear sunglasses to keep bugs from flying in their eyes.  Motorcyclists may also want to brush up on their riding skills before pulling their bikes out.  The state offers training courses for all levels.  More information is available at StartSeeingMotorcyles.org.
