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.

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of the helmet law had to be instituted. 47 states had instituted the law by 1975 when the in the same year the law was repealed and fatality rates increased.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!!!!!

What Makes a Leather Jacket So Cool?
In order to understand the undeniably cool mystique surrounding leather jackets, one must consider all the cultural giants who have worn them over time. In one of his few movie roles before his life was cut tragically short, James Dean wore leather for “Rebel without a Cause.” Of all the memorable characters in television hit “Happy Days,” Fonzy is probably the most beloved. There’s no questioning his coolness.
Even famous musicians like Bruce Springsteen have adopted biker garb as their uniform of choice. Still, a men’s leather motorcycle jacket looks and fits best on a true bike-riding rebel. Pretenders can do all the posing and posturing they like, but when push comes to shove the motorcycle jacket was tailor made for real bikers. When you’re riding down the highway on your souped-up hog, the dress code is practically set in stone.
