“MOTORCYCLE SAFETY” – How many times have your heard this phrase? There are a few simple things you can do to protect yourself and your clothes while enjoying the freedom of riding in the open air.

Of course being out there without being surrounded by a steel compartment like you are in a car, can have some drawbacks. So, if you prepare yourself properly, you can enjoy your ride and be protected at the same time. You should have a windshield and/or a motorcycle helmet with a face shield. These can help when the bugs are pelting you (and they don’t taste good). I know this from personal experience! Bugs and debris and stones flying in your face can also hurt and make you lose your concentration.

All smart bikers know that LEATHER apparel designed specifically for motorcycling will afford the best combination of comfort and protection. Proper fitting motorcycle leather apparel can help protect your body from sun, rain, hot exhaust pipes and asphalt “burns”. Leather jackets, leather vests, leather gloves and leather chaps should be worn on every trip. Motorcyclists often wear leather apparel because it is durable and abrasion-resistant which gives good protection against injury.

Leather motorcycle gloves will protect your hands from blisters, wind, sun and cold. Leather gloves will also help prevent cuts, bruises and abrasions in a crash. Make sure your gloves fit properly to improve your grip. If your gloves are too loose or bulky, you may have problems operating the controls of your motorcycle. If they are too tight, circulation will be restricted. Seamless leather gloves or leather gloves with external seams will help prevent blisters.

These are just a few helpful tips to make your ride a safe one. Proper fitting motorcycle leather will help you stay comfortable when encountering various riding conditions. It is as important for your protection as insurance for your motorcycle. Just think, wearing smart looking motorcycle leather apparel will make your riding a lot more fun because you know you are protecting yourself and your clothes. Of course, looking great in leather is a PLUS! Protect yourself on this ride so you can enjoy your next ride.
