Motorcycle Riding in Style: Check Out These Bike Gears!
by: Kay Zetkin
There are so many choices in purchasing a motorcycle. Often what
you’d consider and compare with others are in terms of handling,
speed, luggage, space and its overall appearance. Of course,
these factors, among many others, would generally be based on
your choice between the type of bike you that’s most preferable
for your lifestyle and personality: touring, sport-touring,
sport, standard, cruiser, enduro, dual-sport and off-road.
Each type also comes with its very own riding attitude and of
course, riding gears and accessories. Notice this,
Harley-Davidson bike riders would not go out riding in the same
biking outfit and accessories as Ducati sports bike riders.
Here are several gears and accessories worth checking out for
sport bike riders. These gears would ensure riding safety and
enable you to go out riding in style, too!
Shoei RF-1000 metallic helmet – this helmet combines safety, fit
and style. It ensures comfort because of the lightweight material
its shell is made of. It has a superior ventilation and anti-fog
system, removable interior cheek pads and sturdy, removable
chinstraps. It provides increased peripheral vision, optical
clarity and 100% protection from UVA and UVB rays. The
stylishness of Shoei’s RF 1000 helmet would most probably be as
impeccable as your other riding gears.

and stylish motorcycle helmets.
AGV laser one-piece riding suit – considering that leather is the
way to go for motorcycle gears, this fashionable suit is made
from 1.44 mm premium cowhide and features double and triple
stitched seams in all high impact areas. It has a ventilated
design with Schoeller Kevlar Keprotec stretch panels inside the
sleeves and behind the knees for added comfort and plastic knee
cups and sliders for added protection. It could be easily slipped
on easily, too.
Teknic Sturgis overpants – this is made to be worn over jeans for
added protection. Composed of top grade cowhide leather, these

movements.

understatement with this jacket handy. What more could you ask

ceramic infused leather. Ventilation and added protection is also
provided by its fitted and adjustable waistband and reflective
stripe.

Icon barrier gloves – wearing of motorcycle-specific gloves to
protect your hands is highly recommended. Thus, there’s nothing
more preferable than Icon gloves. These stylish hand gears
feature padding on the back and padded rivets on the palm. It is
also made of flexible Stretch Schoeller chassis with a
half-fingered glove overlay for protection, rubberized rigid
armor, Aramid stitching, and integrated soft armor in the wrist
for impact protection and abrasion resistance.
Sidi Vertebra 2 Te-Por boots – superior protection is the overall
statement of these boots due to its patented Vertebra protection
system. They are reliable riding boots to protect your feet,
ankles and shins. Other features include easy-to-use screw-on
scuff pads, malleolus guards on the outer edge of each boot, a
replaceable bolt on the plastic shin plate, and optional panels
that are available in chrome and carbon fiber.
However, whatever boots you choose to wear as riding gear,
remember to tuck in your laces. This way they stay out of the
chain preventing them to hook onto the foot peg once you try to
put your feet down.
When motorcycle riding, you must always check your tires for
pressure, wear, cuts and stones. You must also check out your
engine oil and coolant levels and ensure that your headlights,
brake lights and turn signals are operational. And to further
make your bike riding enjoyable and satisfying, do not forget
your riding gears. Fashion statements can really go hand-in-hand
with motorcycle riding!
