cf5000-black-2.jpgMotorcycle accidents have become a part and parcel of urban life in these last few decades. Many have lost their lives while some hundreds have been gravely injured. Much research has been initiated in this field by those concerned, and therefore a few safety gears have been manufactured for the benefit of motorcyclists.

One such example is that of the textile jacket that can lessen the impact of accidents and the subsequent injuries. It is on its way to becoming a standard precaution gear, and might be proclaimed as a necessary requirement for motorcyclists.

g40-reaper-2.jpgI’m a member of an online riders group blog site and I recently got involved in a heated discussion about motorcycle helmets.

It all got started with a question about a “Novelty” motorcycle helmet constructed of Carbon Fiber.  The cost for this motorcycle helmet was $130.00 in the novelty style and $185 for a DOT-approved rendering.

b7885-ladies-1.jpgBefore purchasing a ladies motorcycle jacket, do make sure you test the quality of the stitching of the jacket. Now, assessing the quality of the stitching does not mean simply checking whether the stitches are present or not. The assessment will have to done while keeping the basic purpose of the ladies motorcycle jacket in mind.

The first thing that you should do is check whether the jacket has been properly stitched. If there is evidence of stitches being dropped at regular intervals in your ladies motorcycle jacket, then the jacket that you are holding your hand is a poor quality product. Read the rest of this entry »

lumset_800.jpgAlthough the Midwest and Northeast are currently being gripped by (hopefully) the last gasp of winter the annual southern biker pilgrimages are here.  It’s a tough ride until you get to North Carolina and even then I wouldn’t say it’s comfortable but thankfully bearable.  Any bikers riding the distance are certainly hardy.  Even Daytona is unpleasantly cool at night and the moist ocean breeze during the day chills you to the bone so you’ll definitely need the proper riding gear.  You will see many a cruiser with stuffed saddlebags and piled to the hilt with motorcycle luggage to hold the extra riding gear needed to maintain comfort and safety for the trip through several climate zones.face=”Times New Roman”> Read the rest of this entry »

b7541-retro-chaps.jpgLike most motorcycle enthusiasts I’m really getting anxious for the warm sunny days that are bound to eventually get here.  We’ve still got the shoulder season to get through too.  That’s the time of year that it is too cold in the morning but can get too hot in the afternoon.  I know, most people call that spring and fall but none-the-less it is the time of year that poses an apparel dilemma for motorcycle riders.

 

I admit that I like the freedom of the hot summers because I really don’t like wearing a lot of cycle gear.  Usually I just wear a motorcycle helmet, light leather vented gloves, eye protection and 6” high motorcycle boots; that’s it as far as the protective gear goes.

xu228-insane-clowns-1.jpgAs I sit here today it is currently snowing again in Pennsylvania.  This is not helping, as my imaginings are of the approaching riding season.  Warm weather can’t get here fast enough. 

With the forthcoming motorcycle riding season being just over horizon I know enthusiasts will be shopping for new motorcycle safety gear. Motorcycle helmets should be the first thing on their brains (pun intended) if they want to keep their gray matter intact.

b7244-brown-emboss-1.jpgMotorcycle jackets are, of course, an essential item for motorcycle riders and reflect the personality of the wearer. There are many other considerations however, apart from good looks. High on the list of priorities is how well the jacket will protect you in the event of an accident. Is the jacket comfortable when riding and suitable for both summer and winter wear? Motorcycle jackets are expensive so they should be durable and last for many years.

x600-trave-bag1.jpgRiding a motorcycle these days is not only fun but with today’s gas prices it is also quite economical. The only problem with riding a bike is that their is a serious lack of storage unless you happen to have a Goldwing or maybe a Harley Dresser youre going to need some saddlebags or some sort of tank bag to carry your stuff in. Their are ups and downs to both choices and some of it also depends on your motorcycle. If you have a cruiser your ideal choice is probably some sort of saddlebags or luggage type bags. For Sport Bikes the easy answer is likely to be a tank bag Read the rest of this entry »

cycle-gear-photo.jpgSince the dawn of the age of motorcycling, it was apparent that something was needed to protect the exposed human body from the elements. The natural solution was leather. The leather motorcycle jacket, a style made popular by such movie icons as James Dean and “the Fonz”, not only serves as a fashion statement, but is an essential piece of equipment to any serious biker for keeping warm, dry, and in one piece. A good “riding grade” leather jacket combined with motorcycle chaps or leather pants, will act as a second skin between you and the road, and can quite literally “save your hide”. With all this in mind, let’s explore the things to consider when purchasing motorcycle leathers. Read the rest of this entry »
