Motorcycle Riding Apparel

The overlooked necessary equipment

For my birthday this year, I treated myself to a brand-new Suzuki GSX-R. I'd never owned a street-legal bike before, but after testing out a friend's GSX-R, I knew I had to buy one. These bikes just looked so good and so exciting to ride that I couldn't wait to get my very own!

But I'm also very big on safety, and will do everything in my power to ensure that I have only safe rides on my new bike. For example, I took a weekend safety course for motorcyclists at my local community college and I practice what I learned when I'm out for a ride. Most importantly, I bought appropriate motorcycle riding apparel and make sure I always wear a helmet when I throw a leg over my bike.

Motorcycle riding apparel is an important component of motorcycle safety that many riders overlook. I can't tell you how many times I've seen guys (and gals) on the road in only a t-shirt, shorts, and sandals. That's a recipe for disaster, in my opinion. Proper motorcycle riding apparel, such as protective jackets, leather gloves, boots, and maybe even pants, is necessary for protection in the event of an accident. I make sure I wear motorcycle riding apparel whenever I'm on my bike.

In fact, I decided to buy some motorcycle riding apparel even before I took delivery of my new GSX-R. I went down to a couple of dealerships in the area and checked out their selection of motorcycle riding apparel, but didn't find anything I liked. The stuff they had in stock wasn't to my taste at all and was pretty expensive. I then got the idea of searching for motorcycle riding apparel on the Internet. I didn't know if that would be a cost-effective move since most gear is heavy and would probably be expensive to ship. But I decided to give it a try anyway.

I'm glad I did, because I found some great resources for discount motorcycle riding apparel online. The prices on these products were very reasonable, plus the shipping costs weren't nearly as high as I had feared. In short, I ended up ordering two complete sets of motorcycle riding apparel and will definitely go back for more whenever I need something new.

I received my motorcycle riding apparel well before I picked up that brand-new GSX-R, and was well equipped when I took it out for the first spin. I know how much fun motorcycles can be, but I also know that there are some real dangers involved. That's why I'm not going to take any unnecessary risks and why I'll always wear protective motorcycle riding apparel out on the road.
