Buying the Right Motorcycle Riding Gear

If you're thinking about riding a motorcycle, it's important to make sure you have the right gear. Motorcycle riding can be dangerous, and proper safety gear can help protect you in case of an accident. If you’re an avid Harley-Davidson® motorcycle rider, you should invest in these pieces of gear to keep yourself safe.

Motorcycle Helmet

One of the most important pieces of riding gear is a helmet. A good helmet can help protect your head in case of a fall or collision. You should always choose a helmet that fits well and is certified by a reputable organization, such as the US Department of Transportation (DOT).

Protective Clothing

Another important piece of riding gear is protective clothing. This can include items such as jackets, pants, gloves, and boots. Look for clothing that is made from durable materials such as Kevlar or leather. It's also important to choose clothing that is bright and visible, so that other motorists can see you easily.

Bike Add-Ons

Finally, you'll also need to get some safety gear for your motorcycle itself. This can include items such as reflectors and lights, which can help make your motorcycle more visible to other motorists. You might also want to consider adding some aftermarket parts, such as an engine kill-switch, which can help shut off the engine in case of an accident.

By taking the time to choose the right riding gear, you can help keep yourself safe while riding your motorcycle.
