What motorcyclists may need…and want
Road safety is everyone’s responsibility. It doesn’t matter if you’re a pedestrian, cyclist, motorcyclist or driver of an automobile; it’s your responsibility to perform in such a manner that helps to keep you and others safe. I know; I should tell you something you don’t already know. Although millions if not billions of people know this, they still assume they won’t be injured and take road safety for granted. Are you this type of person? Do you put safety to the wayside?
When it comes to safety, we need to look after ourselves. This is especially true when it comes to motorcycle riders. I’ve written about motorcyclists every now and then, but not for a while. However, I recently found this cool site online called Bike Bandit which made me think about their safety as well. There are many places that offer motorcycle riders options, but check them out. They have everything you can think of – and maybe things you haven’t thought of – to allow a rider to keep their motorcycle in top condition, plus items to help keep them safe as the rider.
They have all the motorcycle gear to help keep you safe while riding it. It almost seems like every day I witness a motorcycle rider wearing just a t-shirt and jeans. That may help them look cool, but it doesn’t protect them in case of a violent swerve where the rider leaves the bike. Road rash is a common injury after a motorcycle crash. Wearing the proper gear will help protect your body. A young friend of mine just got her motorcycle and with it came the gear. Gloves, leather jacket and pants are the normal attire for her, even during the recent hot summer we’ve just had. She knows it can save her from tough injuries.
If you really want to look cool while riding, you should check out their line of motorcycle helmets. Safety-conscious motorcycle riders will wear helmets each time they ride. It’s a no-brainer when it comes to protecting any part of your head. A good helmet can also cut down on any wind noise and on the wind blasting on your face and eyes. Take the time and effort to make a quality decision when choosing a helmet. Look for safety, but keep in mind comfort as well. A comfortable helmet can remove those distractions and allow you to focus on the road.
They also offer a wide range of motorcycle parts and accessories to ensure your motorcycle is running smooth for years to come. A properly running bike will respond to your commands when you need them. Using Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts ensure your motorcycle is running as good as new. Bike Bandit has replacement and OEM parts for just about any bike you may have. OEM parts are designed specifically for your bike and will bring it back to factory condition. You can’t really ask for more than that.
I know there are many places the motorcyclist can go for what they need. This is just an option and based on what some of my motorcycle friends have said, this site is worth a view.
A man in Brainerd, MN, this summer was GLAD he was wearing a motorcycle safety vest when he crashed: SAVED his LIFE! New, expensive, well worth the cost… STAY SAFE!!
Hi Scott: There is an old adage about motorcycle clothing- “Dress for the slide, not the ride” Leather is the best protector. New ballistic material is very good also. Denim last less than 20 feet in a slide. You don’t want to be picking gravel out of your hide for a couple of years. A doctor derides your injuries with a scrub brush..OUCH! Helmets are another choice….the HURT REPORT from the early 1970s says that 75% of head injuries are in the lower face/jaw area, so the choice should be a full face or modular helmet. If the strap isn’t done up snuggly, you may very well lose it in a collision. Proper foot ware and clothes…enough said. Loud pipes are not an alternative to having your head in n a swivel and stay out of blind spots of other vehicles. Loud pipers may not save lives but they do pi**off the neighbours and other motorists
