Arrive safely
The essentials
To reach your destination safely
every time, there is only one
choice:
•Helmet
•Suit
• Gloves
• Boots
It is foolhardy to ride without
these items of clothing. This
even applies to short journeys,
and to every season of the year.
Well-planned riding
pleasure
Many motorcyclists have
learned the hard way that the
proper clothing contributes so
much to riding pleasure. You
must feel comfortable and
relaxed – and your own safety
must never be endangered.
There is no doubt about it:
when buying motorcycling
clothing, you simply cannot set
your sights too high. It is good
to know that the BMW brand
can be trusted to supply you
with safe, high-quality rider’s
clothing as well.
Information on the latest prod-
ucts is always available from
your BMW motorcycle dealer.
