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!!!!!!!
A Beginners Guide For Women Riders
The first question that always comes to mind in any new adventure is where do I start. Since women are so different than men it might help to find a women mentor who has allot of riding experience. Women tend to be more supportive of one another than men do. Don’t let anyone be vague or sugar coat what riding is all about.
I’m gonna give you some basic starters and you can expand on them from hear. Number one you need to buy or borrow a bike to practice on. Preferably something smaller, easy to handle and easy to start. Know how and where all the controls are and become real familiar with them before attempting to ride. Make sure the bike is insured just in case. Number two make sure you have safety gear. This should consist of a DOT approved helmet, a Womens Leather Motorcycle Jacket 
that fits properly, a good pair of leather boots that cover the ankles and provide good traction and finally a pair of leather gloves. Third you should find a good source of instruction. This could come from the motorcycle safety foundation or a trusted friend or spouse . Make sure whomever you choose is very supportive and knowledgeable. Remember you dont want to learn bad habits. Fourth you need a place to practice both before and after you get your liscense. Preferably a big open paved parking lot. Practice the maneuvers you were taught do it in a practice area where you’re safe from the elements that others throw at you on the open road. Be comfortable with your bike and your ability as a rider when you hit the road. And fifth but probably most important you need support and encouragement. Find someone who is supportive and that will give good strong safe advice. Someone that will find the right answers to your questions if they don’t know the answers.
Thats it in a nutshell, take it, research it, implement it, be strong and have faith in yourself. Take your time learning and your riding experiences will be truly life changing.
If You’re Gonna be a Biker Dress Like One
Most of the apparel you see bikers wearing has a purpose other than just looks. Dress usually is a cool shirt, denim jeans, leather boots, maybe a pair of chaps, a good helmet if desired and most important a Black Leather Jacket. Look around see what others are wearing as most all acessories are readily available on line, at the dealerships or at biker events.
Number one on my list is a high quality hemet, my choice dumped a bike or two and always glad I was wearing a helmet but I still feel thats the riders choice. Second is a proper fitting Black Leather Jacket
it offers a lot of protection in case of an accident. These come in a vast array of colors and styles I prefer black. Third a good pair of boots loafers or tennis shoes just dont offer much protection. Fourth and optional but provide good protection is acomfortable pair of chaps and if desired a pair of leather gloves. Always make sure your clothing is comfortable andallows good movement as the rides can get long.
