- Motorbike Courier protection, covers many areas, here are a few areas to remember:
1 Helmet. Keep you lid clean and check for any indications of any visible cracks. If you are not sure get it checked out. Replace your helmet if necessary. For the sake of £100 or so is it worth risking your life?
2 Visor. Keep this especially clean, surface scratches play havvock when the sun is low in the sky and can be blinding at night.
3 Jacket. Make sure your motorbike jacket is in good order, with all built in protection still fit for purpose. One day you'll be pleased that you checked it over.
4 Spine Protector. For new motorbike couriers and new motorbikers it cant be stressed how valueable these are. If your jacket does not have one built in then get yourself a spine protector. Their lightweight design, with interlocking plates, make it sufficiently comfortable to wear, even on long rides. Hopefully you will never find out how good they are but if you do you will be glad.

- Be see. Jackets, these days, often bright and light coloured, helping a Motorbike courier stand out. So make the most of these designs when you are purchasing your next jacket. If you can't afford a new jacket then pick up an easy to wear flourescent flash. They are inexpensive and very effective. If your company provides a hi-viz wastecoat then wear it. If you're self employed, get one made up with your company's name and phone number then you're getting free advertising as well as being seen.

- Motorbike Maintenance. Common sense dictates that you look after your motorbike as well as having it serviced regularly. Furthermore, you need to check tyres, brake fluid, oil levels.
