Why Do Motorcyclists Wear Leather Jackets?
Black leather jackets have become inextricably tied to motorcycle culture. Whether you are a seasoned rider or just purchased your first bike, you undoubtedly are aware of this phenomenon. To outsiders, the trend of wearing leather jackets may seem superfluous, but the jacket serves several pragmatic purposes.
Men’s and women’s black leather jackets have a strong outer shell that is resistant to wind, water and cold. On the back of a bike, the rider is at the mercy of the elements, so this layer of protection is imperative. In addition to defense from Mother Nature, the leather jacket is also an indispensible safeguard in the event of a spill.
Leather Motorcycle Gloves
How or w
hy are leather gloves an important safety element? If you’ve ever laid a bike down or seen someone lay one down you would know the answer. The hands as well as other parts of the body are going to get road rash. Remember back when you were a kid on a bicycle the outcome of taking a spill on the blacktop or for that matter gravel the outcome usually wasn’t pretty.
Leather gloves can be hot to wear on hot summer days but the protection offered is worth the discomfort. They come in many styles to add comfort and safety. The gloves along with a Black Leather Motorcycle Jacket can save allot of road rash when someone cuts you off or turns in front of you and there is nowhere to go and the bike goes down taking you with it. At this point you are grateful for any safety gear you are wearing. Ride Safe and Enjoy!!!!!
Leather A Motorcyclists Friend
With the onse
t of warmer weather I’m seeing less and less clothing on motorcycle riders. Wow!!! just not a good idea guess most all of them of never had the misfortune of laying a bike down or been involved in a motorcycle accident. Its unfortunate and I’m at a loss of how how to convey to them how important proper dress is when riding motorcycle.
The key safety ingredients for riding are: a DOT approved helmet, a good quality Leather Motorcycle Jacket, or long sleeve shirt, depending the type of riding, heavy denim jeans with chaps depending on the elements or the degree of protection desired, a good pair of leather motorcycle riding gloves and last but not least a good pair of over the ankle boots.
As always with motorcycle riding make yourself visible wear bright colored clothing, stay out of blind spots and ride defensively. If you haven’t done so and one is available in your area take a approved motorcycle riders course the knowledge acquired is priceless. Ride safe!!!!!!!
Remember Your Mom All Year Round
Mother’s Day is right around the corner, and while it is essential to purchase a gift on this paramount occasion, the gift giving doesn’t have to stop there. After all, we shouldn’t merely call our mothers on one specific day of the year. Rather, we should check in regularly and let her know that we are thinking of her on more than one specific occasion. As such, it would be a lovely gesture to surprise your mom with a random gift.
There is no answer as to what the perfect gift for mom would be. For some, porcelain tea sets would be the most thoughtful gift in the world. For others, it might be a new womens leather motorcycle jacket. It really just depends on the temperament and interests of your mom. The important thing is not that the gift is extravagant. It truly can just be a phone call. The point is that she knows you’re thinking about her on more days than just her birthday and Mother’s Day.

Rain Gear For Leather Protection
Well the r
ain has come and I’m sure at some point we’re all gonna get caught on our motorcycles in a rain storm. It is very important to remember a few safety tips when riding in the rain. One is slow down, wear bright clothing and make yourself visible and wear proper rain gear.
There are many different styles and brands of rain gear on the market I’m sure they are all good and offer protection for the rider. When I was shopping for my rain gear I tried on several brands and styles. I chose a style that had zippered leg openings so that I could get my feet in the pants without removing my shoes. A big factor if you’re in the middle of nowhere trying to get them on and it’s raining or close to raining . Speed in getting rain gear on can be a high priority I’m talking from experience and it also provides protection for your Black Leather Motorcycle Jacket and chaps. Rain gear is available for foot and hand protection also as soggy feet aren’t desirable and rain hitting your hands at 65 or even 55 hurts. Face and eye protection is also important a full face helmet with good ventilation is probably the best. The most important thing is slow down and be visible!!!!
Leather Boots An Essential Piece Of Safety Apparel
Like all leather biker apparel their is a reason besides looking cool for wearing leather. The Leather Motorcycle Jacket for bikers is designed with safety in mind. The jacket will have reinforced elbows padded shoulders and lots of secure pockets so stored necessities wont be lost.
Next to the Black Leather Motorcycle Jacket 
the Leather motorcycle boots are the most important item of safety equipment. Riding boots come in several styles and types. Some have steel reinforcing others are just good quality leather. Most all that I have seen are over the ankle and I prefer a lace up boot for the extra ankle support. For safety sake always wear good footwear for the protection it provides. Tennis shoes or thongs or sandals or any open shoes are not proper motorcycle attire. Women and young ladies a halter top and shorts and sandals which I see real regularly just isn’t safe riding attire and if you think it is slide down the pavement sometime and come back to me and tell me what you think of your safety attire. That’s all for now ride safe and enjoy!!!!!!!!
The History Of Motorcycle Helmets
In the early days of motorcycling there wasn’t a big need for motorcycle helmet. There wasn’t allot of speed in early motorcycles but as they become more popular like anything else motorcyclists wanted more speed. Along with speed came more accidents and fatalities thus laws requiring helmets.
In 1953 a professor from the university of southern California designed the first helmet as Harley Davidson and Indian were manufacturing motorcycles with more speed. In 1958 California Highway Patrol officers began wearing helmets as an example hoping other riders would follow. In 1966 the Highway Safety Act was passed and this required motorcyclists to wear helmets. A provision of the law was that in order for states to receive funding for highways the requirement of the helmet law had to be instituted. 47 states had instituted the law by 1975 when the in the same year the law was repealed and fatality rates increased.
Studies have shown that head injuries are the number one cause of motorcycle fatalities. This is the reason that I as an avid motorcycle rider wear a Helmet as I have laid bikes down and have proof that helmets do help prevent head injuries. All motorcycle apparel such as a Black Leather Motorcycle Jacket
, chaps, leather gloves and a helmet all make the safety of the rider increase. As with anything these accessories won’t prevent all injuries but they will help. So happy motoring and ride safe!!!!!
