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

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 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!!!!!!!
