In a news release issued Monday, troopers encouraged bikers to wear boots, gloves, leather pants and a jacket even on warm days for better protection during a fall. “Connecticut law requires that motorcyclists wear eye protection, so be sure to protect your eyes with a shield on the helmet, goggles or shatterproof eyeglasses,” police said. — Motorcyclists may need to slow down, stop or adjust their lane position depending on the obstacle in the road. [...] allow extra maneuvering room in areas with potholes, pavement transitions and railroad crossings.
