Motorcycle Fashion - Not Exclusive for Riders Anymore

noreply@blogger.com (Satriani) — Thu, 01 May 2008 06:44:03 PDT

What used to be worn exclusively by real bikers has now proliferated widely. We see it everywhere, people donning motorcycle jackets, biker boots, or leather pants. And some of them are not even authentic motorcycle riders. But that's the fad and we cannot stop it from growing more and more popular.

So what is it about motorcycle fashion that people are so crazy about?

Well, for one there's that feeling of toughness that people get from wearing motorcycle apparel. We can't blame people from feeling that way after all that is what the image of bikers have emanated since time immemorial. Men in black leather jackets, leather pants, high-cut boots riding a roaring motor bike gives us the impression of hardiness. People think that these men are tough, they're to be scared of, or they are kings of the road. The one reason why people love the motorcycle fashion, it's to duplicate that impression by wearing what bikers wear.

Another thing about motorcycle fashion is that it gives you a sense of adventure. Putting together an outfit that will make you feel like a real rider is an adventure in itself. And those that cannot afford to go bungee jumping or sky diving, they find the adventure they're looking for by being in motorcycle clothing.

Some people who love individuality and crave to stand out among the crowd prefer dressing the motorcyclist way to be unique. Among a stream of ordinary people in casual clothing, a person in shiny black boots and leather jacket is sure to catch some attention. Motorcycling gear and apparel can ultimately transform you. When people want a change for themselves or want to turn over a new leaf, they turn to giving their wardrobe a whole new look and some opt to turn theirs into motorcyclist fashion.

And some do say that the traditional and classy look one can get from motorcycle apparel is undeniable. While there are those wear it just for fun. The motorcycle fashion has grown so widely and so popular that motorcycle gear makers have to widen their selection of products to cater to the growing demands for motorcycle apparel. Harley Davidson for example now has a line of womens Harley Davidson boots and boots designed for kids.

Finally, those people who are passionate about motorcycling, who are big fans and avid spectators but just do not have the heart to try out riding themselves, resort to wearing motorcycle apparel to get their share of this sport's excitement and thrill. And while real riders may sometimes frown upon these wannabes, the important thing to remember is that everybody has the right to experience the exhilarating feeling of motorcycling, whether by racing, by cruising or simply by donning motorcycle apparel and gear.

How to Get Cheap Motorcycle Insurance

noreply@blogger.com (Satriani) — Thu, 01 May 2008 06:45:12 PDT

Almost everyone has imagined themselves at the helm of a great-looking motorcycle. With the rising cost of fuel, more and more people are actually taking the plunge and buying a motorcycle. Just as with any vehicle on the road, insurance is a must. If you want to enjoy cheap motorcycle insurance rates consider the following:

•Park the motorcycle in your garage. If you have the room, this is a must. The insurance company will offer a better rate if they know the bike is in a locked garage or shed. The reason is simple: there is a reduced risk of it being stolen or vandalized.

•Add your motorcycle to your car insurance policy. If you already own a vehicle, ask your car insurance agent for a quote for motorcycle insurance. Many insurance companies offer a policy discount if you are insuring more than one vehicle.

•Find out the cost of insurance before buying the motorcycle. Some motorcycles cost more to insure than others. This is typically due to the enhancements on the bike. If you are more interested in riding it from point A to point B to save on gas, than you are about the appearance, choose a less expensive motorcycle without all the bells and whistles.

•Drive the motorcycle less. Some insurance companies offer a cut rate to their clients who drive less. Inquire about the low mileage discount your insurance company offers and see if you qualify for it.

As with any type of vehicle insurance, motorcycle insurance rates drop if the driver proves they are responsible. For this reason avoiding making claims and staying within posted speed limits both contribute to keeping costs down. Motorcycle drivers should always call a few agents for insurance quotes just to see who offers the best deal.

Motorcycle Protective Clothing That Works

noreply@blogger.com (Satriani) — Thu, 01 May 2008 06:45:12 PDT

There is some great looking motorcycle clothing on the market these days, but believe me not all of the motorcycle clothing offers as much protection as you think. In Europe, for motorcycle clothing to be lawfully sold as “safety" clothing, it has to pass a series of European standards, which are pretty lengthy but are available on my website. The standards cover the clothing’s performance in abrasion, tearing and impact tests, and when they have passed; they are sold with the CE mark. However, no such regulation is available in the USA, so what should you look for?

Protection in the right places…

Not many people realise that most motorcycle injuries occur below the belt. Your legs and feet are extremely vulnerable, so make sure that you wear a decent pair of high boots and some protective pants. The pants should be reinforced at the knees and hips; ideally they should attach to your jacket by a zipper. Boots should be thick leather, with a sole that can flex with the foot but has a resistance to crushing across the foot.

Traditional material for motorcycle clothing is leather, but thick nylon and other synthetic materials work well too. Kevlar reinforced jeans are better than normal jeans .Normal jeans last 0.6 seconds in the European standard abrasion test, while protective motorcycle pants will last 5 seconds or more. You don’t really want to be ripping your skin open within less than half a second of falling of your bike do you? Thought not.

Same principles apply to jackets. Make sure they are hardwearing, if they are leather make sure it is thick leather not fashion leather like some jackets. Stitching should be uniform with no dropped stitches, and all your “sharp bits”, your elbows and shoulders should be reinforced, ideally with some impact protection included.

A decent pair of gloves is a must; your palms will be at risk in an accident; you instinctively put out your hands palm side down to stop yourself in a slide, so the palms of your gloves should be reinforced with patches. Knitted Kevlar is especially good for this kind of abrasion resistance, but reinforced leather works well too.

Impact protection can be bought separately like back protectors and so on, but remember where your most vulnerable areas are. And make sure if you buy impact protection you actually wear it! If you have any doubts it may be better to go for motorcycle clothing with a degree of impact protection included so that you know when you put on your jacket and pants, the protection is always going to be there.

Last but not least, pick out a helmet you can wear and wear it always. You may have a greater chance of getting injured below the waist in a motorcycle accident, but the consequences of being involved in an accident without a helmet just don’t bear thinking about….

So, next time you are shopping for motorcycle clothing, give a bit of thought to the level of protection it offers before you buy it. You never know it could save you a lot of unnecessary pain!

How To Buy Protective Motorcycle Clothing That Does More Than Just Look Good

noreply@blogger.com (Satriani) — Thu, 01 May 2008 06:45:12 PDT

A lot of the motorcycle gear on the market today; clothing in particular is being made more for looks than protection. When you are sliding down the asphalt at fifty miles and hour it's not about the looks!

In the United States it is pretty much "caveat emptor", or let the buyer beware. There is no governing body watching over the manufacturers of protective clothing like they have in Europe where they have to go through extensive testing before they can me marketed as protective clothing.

In contrast to popular belief the vast majority of motorcycle accident injuries are to the lower portions of the body, especially the legs and feet. So in consideration of this you should definitely make sure that you have a good quality pair of riding boots along with a good pair of quality leather protective pants. When shopping for motorcycle pants make sure they have extra reinforcement in the knee and hip area and that they have an option to be connected to your jacket which also adds to protection.

When choosing riding boots, they should be made of thick but flexible leather and the sole should be made of a material that is resistant to oil and other petroleum based products as you ten to put your feet down on the road quite a bit.

Although leather is the material of choice by most serious bikers there are now other synthetic fabrics on the market that do a good job of protecting you in an accident. One choice is the new Kevlar reinforced jeans which have been tested to last more than five seconds in ana abrasion test as opposed to jeans with last about a half second!

Take the same care and precautions when choosing a motorcycle jacket as well. Many of the motorcycle jackets on the market today are for looks only and use thin leather which is not suitable for a protective motorcycle jacket. All contact points such as your shoulders and elbows should be reinforced and contain extra impact padding.

When it comes to your hands, they must be protected. A good pair of leather gloves is a necessity to keep you from tearing the palms of your hands off in even a minor accident. It is just natural to put your hand down to protect yourself when you feel your bike going down or if you get thrown. I have seen people with horrible injuries to their hands from a minor accident, injuries they would have never received had they worn gloves.

So, next time you are looking for protective motorcycle clothing, make sure you are buying it for the protection and not just for looks. Nobody looks good lying in a hospital bed or a coffin!

Motorcycle batteries are specifically designed for specific brands. If you drive a BMW motorcycle, you will purchase a different motorcycle battery that if you drove a Harley-Davidson.

Motorcycle batteries can be purchased in several different ways. Standard type is a “spillable” battery that requires dry shipment. The acid must be purchased locally in order to activate the battery. The acid is called electrolyte, which is sulfuric acid, diluted by water. This must be added only to a dry shipped battery.

Motorcycle Protective Clothing for Summer and Winter Touring

noreply@blogger.com (Satriani) — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 07:42:35 PDT

Appropriate motorcycle protective clothing adds to the motorcycle rider’s safety for both summer and winter touring.

There is some great looking motorcycle clothing on the market these days, but you are after motorcycle protective clothing not making a fashion statement.

Make sure you have a decent pair of riding boots and protective pants. After all most motorcycle injuries occur to the bottom half of the body. The boots should be thick leather with a sole that can flex with the foot but still has protection to crushing across the foot. The pants should be reinforced at the knee and hip. Speaking of pants, re-enforced jeans should be your choice over normal jeans.

The same principal applies to your jacket. This should be a leather jacket for protection. Make sure you choose thick leather and not fashion leather and again this should be reinforced at the elbows and shoulders.

This brings us to your gloves. These are a must. In an accident you will instinctively put your hands out with palms down to stop yourself in a slide. You should try to choose reinforced leather or even Kevlar if you can.

What’s left? Oh crikey that’s right your helmet. Pick out a comfortable helmet and make sure you wear it at all times. Besides being a legal requirement it will give you some protection. Imagine a crash without a helmet. Hmm what would you look like after this? If you get a full-face helmet, you may remove the visor in very hot weather, but make sure your eyes are covered with goggles, safety-lens or sunglasses. Use a clear visor or goggles at night.

In colder weather, wear aircell undergarments, a warm shirt, jumper, scarf, stout jeans and thick socks with your motorcycle riding boots. An overgarment of the waxed cotton variety will keep out rain, and gauntlets will divert wind from your sleeves. You may feel too warm at first, but once you get underway the clothing will keep your body temperature stable and protect you from the elements.

So when you are purchasing your motorcycle protective clothing think what are you buying for? Hopefully your answer is protection and not a fashion statement.

Safe Motorcycle Riding Practices

noreply@blogger.com (Satriani) — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 07:42:58 PDT

Never drive if you are not a licensed motorcycle driver. This is first, and foremost in my list of safe motorcycle riding practices. You see, when you are a licensed driver, one way or the other, you must have gone through the necessary trainings and tests to ensure that you are qualified to drive a motorcycle.

Here's a rundown of my motorcycle-riding safety tips:

1. No license, no driving.

2. Wear a motorcycle helmet every time you ride a motorcycle, either as the driver or as the passenger.

3. Wear appropriate clothing. Motorcycle jacket, motorcycle gloves, and motorcycle googles are highly recommended.

4. Don't drink and drive.

NO LICENSE, NO DRIVING

Beginners, those who are still learning to drive, and especially those who have just learned to drive, are the most aggressive drivers. However, it must be noted that motorcycle driving could be a complex process of coordinating your balance, processing what you see, being able to decide what to do, and act accordingly.

Professional drivers or seasoned drivers do all these things at the same time. They can react based on reflex action. The newbies' expected reaction to some impending crash or accident would simply to freeze, jerk, or squeeze the throttle instead of releasing it and gripping and stepping on the brakes.

It would be for safety measures then that those who are still trying to learn or have just learned, and still doesn't posses a valid driver's license must secure one, and must always be accompanied by a licensed adult. Refrain from practicing in populated streets or where there are a lot of other vehicles. The parking lot would also be a bad idea. There are just a lot of other cars there that you could crash into.

MOTORCYCLE HELMET

Statistics show that one out of five motorcycle crashes result to head or neck injuries. This same statistics also show that properly worn DOT approved helmets have greatly reduced injuries in the head and neck among motorcycle riders.

Never be so complacent that since you're just going to buy some six-pack from a nearby neighborhood convenience store, you won't wear a helmet anymore. Let's refer to statistics again: they show that most motorcycle crashes on short trips (about 5 miles or less from point of origin) and most of these crashes registered slow driving (less than 30mph) when the accident happened.

APPROPRIATE CLOTHING AND MOTORCYCLE ACCESSORIES

A motorcycle is a good excuse for a different fashion statement. However, it is for your own safety if your main consideration in your attire when driving one, is safety instead of fashion. Invest in a good motorcycle jacket. The leather ones are a classic and never go out of fashion and save you from ultraviolet exposure from the sun, too. While at it, a good pair of motorcycle goggles would not only make you look cooler, it would also protect your eyes from dust, insects, and wind.

DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE

Your responses become slower, your judgment becomes questionable, you become bolder, and most of all, DUI or driving under the influence is illegal. No amount of motorcycle gloves, motorcycle helmets, motorcycle jackets, and other motorcycle accessories could save you from severe injuries that could happen when you drink and drive.

A Purchasing Guide for Leather Motorcycle Apparel

Leather passes through several different processes before it gets to us in the form of motorcycle apparel. The first process is its refinement through the hair removing process. After hair removal of the cowhide four major kinds of leather can be derived out of the same cowhide. The first chemical process which the cowhide goes through separates the outer part of animal skin from the rest of the cowhide. This skin is called grain and is the cheapest form of cowhide.

In the second stage of leather processing middle part of cowhide is separated from the cow skin. Polymer layer is added to this part in order to strengthen it. This kind of leather is better looking than the grain and it is also much more durable. Most people refer to this kind of cowhide as split.

In the third stage the cowhide under goes a process which removes the scares and imperfections from the leather. The result of this process is extremely fine leather.

Caring For Your Leather Motorcycle Jackets

noreply@blogger.com (Satriani) — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 07:33:15 PDT

A leather motorcycle jacket is the perfect choice for riding your motorcycle. It's also a long term investment so you should know about caring for your leather motorcycle jackets.

Leather is durable and designed to last a long time with very little effort. Here are some tips to keep that jacket looking great.

How much actual care your jacket will need will depend on how much abuse your jacket takes. How much time it is in the hot sun or how much rain you expose it to will play a role in how much conditioning you'll need to give your leather.

If your leather starts to look and feel dry it's time to condition it. Rain is really hard on leather because it pulls the moisture out of the skin. It's actually a good idea to condition your jacket every time you wear it in the rain.

There are two schools of thought for conditioning your jacket. Many prefer mink oil is a good choice. It waterproofs it by clogging the pores similar to the way Vaseline would. Eventually it will dry out the leather and it may even leave a whitish haze when it solidifies in the colder weather. You can also use a Lexol type leather conditioner for your jacket.

If you don't treat your jacket and protect it from UV rays it will fade over time. Black leather is really susceptible to fading. Use a product like Aerospace Protectant to prevent fading. These products also condition the leather. It's rather like a sunscreen for your leather jacket.

To keep your leather dry use a spray water repellent which will protect you in mild to moderate rain falls. However don't expect it to save you in a major down pour which will soak through the leather. When spraying make sure to spray evenly and let it completely dry, otherwise you will get horrible lines in the leather.

Besides treating your leather jacket you should wipe it down with a damp cloth regularly. This will remove any surface dirt. When you are storing it you need to make sure that there is room all around it so it can breathe otherwise it may dry out.

Whenever you are using any of these cleaners or protectants you need to make sure the room is properly vented.

Never use hair gels or sprays or colognes or perfumes near your jacket. In fact avoid the use of any sprays near it.

If your coat gets wet while you are out then hang to dry where it can breathe but not directly near any heat. If your jacket develops a wrinkle just use a towel and your iron to remove it.

If you haven't yet purchased your jacket look for the best grade of leather you can afford. Always choose a full grain leather and settle for nothing less. It doesn't have to break the bank if you shop online.

Leather motorcycle jackets are as easy as any other leather product to care for and with a little TLC they'll last forever. What a great investment!

Alpinestars Jacket Review

noreply@blogger.com (Satriani) — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 07:32:23 PDT

Alpinestars motorcycle jackets are among the most underrated street bike jackets around. Although they aren't the most popular brand, they are definitely worth considering if you are in the market.

Styling

Alpinestars jackets come in a wide array of styles and colors to choose from. From the classic solid black Interceptor or Monterey jackets to the sportbike inspired MX-1 or S-MX models, you're sure to find an Alpinestars jacket to suit your tastes.

Protection

When shopping for a motorcycle jacket, protection ought to be at the top of your list. Alpinestars jackets are made of high quality leather. They are a bit stiff when first purchased, but will break in and feel comfortable in about 5 rides.

Most models come with removable shoulder, elbow, and forearm protection to give you extra piece of mind. This extra piece of mind however doesn't come cheap.

Price

An Alpinestars jacket will typically cost anywhere from $100 to $500. Usually you can find a good deals on Alpinestars jackets online.

Comfort

Comfort is the only downside of these jackets. Due to the extra protection and thicker leather required for a streetbike jacket, you will sacrifice a little bit of flexibility and breathability. As mentioned above, Alpinestars jackets do loosen up a bit after they've been broken in, but they will always be a little bit on the stiff side.

These jackets are also more suited for cooler weather. Alpinestars does offer a mesh line of jackets that are cooler than the leather jackets, but they will not provide you with as much protection.

Conclusion

An Alpinestars jacket is an important piece of protection for any rider. Don't make the mistake that a lot of riders make (and later regret) by skimping on this piece of gear. Consider it an investment. The difference between a cheap jacket and a high-quality Alpinestars jacket could be the difference between walking away from a spill and a trip to the ER.
