Your helmet should be comfortable and must be securely strapped on. Eye protective devices must be worn by operators and passengers of all motorcycles either in the form of windshields, glasses, goggles, or face shields of safety glass or plastic lens. All eye protective devices shall meet the minimum standards as established by the Georgia Department of Public Safety. Contact lens are not acceptable as eye protective glasses.
Common sense overrules riding with sandals and slippers.
The best footwear is high-topped leather boots. Clothing should be adequate to reduce injury in case of a spill or accident. The heavier the clothing, the more protection, leather provides the best protection.
