Motorcycle clothing is just as much a part of the lure of owning a bike as motorcycle parts and motorcycle accessories are. While knowing what type of oil to put in your bike and what size tires to outfit it with are important, so is choosing the right motorcycle apparel to keep you safe and visible on the road. Wearing safe motorcycle clothing does not mean that you cannot still look fashionable while you ride.

Regardless of what type of bike you ride a motorcycle jacket is key to remaining warm and visible. There are all sorts of styles to choose from. You can opt for a classic like a leather jacket with reflective panels across the arms and shoulders or you can opt for something more high tech. There are all sorts of great looking styles that are available in a variety of color choices. From a royal blue and black with white insets to a fire engine red with shoulder studs, the options are many. Some newer styles even feature pockets to hold your digital devices. No matter which fabric you choose, it is important to make sure that your jacket fits extremely well through the shoulders. You want to have plenty of arm movement and do not want to feel restricted at all.

Another piece of clothing to consider is motorcycle pants. Some riders prefer leather chaps while others find them a bit too warm. Keeping the leg area protected is important especially if you will be riding in cooler conditions. The constant force of the air movement against the legs can definitely impact upon the comfort level while riding. Wearing protective pants is one way to prevent this from happening.

The ultimate key piece of apparel that you need to consider is a helmet. Depending upon where you live, your options can vary. Some places allow you to simply wear a protective covering over the back area of your skull. Other jurisdictions require that you wear a full helmet that covers all areas of your head, including a face guard. Knowing the rules and regulations for your jurisdiction is vital to not only remaining safe but to remaining ticket free from the authorities too. Depending upon the jurisdiction where you plan to insure your bike, you may not even be able to obtain insurance without producing a helmet.

By investing in the right articles of clothing ahead of time, your motorcycle riding days can be long and enjoyable. Staying safe is critical if you want to continue to enjoy your time on your bike.
