   from vandalism, theft, and environmental damage;

   4. Audio-visual equipment; and

   5. Fire extinguisher and first aid kit.

B. The training center shall be responsible for procuring and providing a
minimum of one motorcycle per student. Each such motorcycle shall be of a type
that may lawfully be operated on the highways of the Commonwealth and shall
comply with the specifications recommended by the Motorcycle Safety Foundation,
unless otherwise provided by the Department. Each participant in the experienced
rider course shall provide a motorcycle for use in the course. One three-wheeled
motorcycle, provided by either a participant or the training center, shall be
required for use by every two students in the three-wheeled motorcycle course.

C. The training center shall be responsible for the normal maintenance and
repair of all motorcycles it provides for each novice rider and three-wheeled

pass a safety inspection performed by the instructors prior to use in any
motorcycle rider-training course.

D. The Department, or its authorized agent, shall inspect and approve each

training centers if it is deemed unsafe by the Department. A motorcycle may be
deemed unsafe because of modification, damage, lack of maintenance, nonstandard
configuration, or any other substantial safety reason.
