Riding gear – what’s your style?



The gear available for purchase for motorcycle riding is endless these days! From jackets to boots to jeans to helmets…and even t-shirts! You can be extremely stylish these days with all matching gear. Personally, I like the steel toed boots, jeans, and a t-shirt or tank top to ride in (when it’s warm). A nice fitting leather jacket is always nice, too. I have a leather vest I wear during the summer, but a regular riding jacket for when it gets cold. I’m looking for that ‘perfect’ leather jacket…haven’t found it yet, though.

Then there are helmets…an endless assortment of helmets in all shapes, sizes, designs, and colors. Right now I prefer a full helmet (a little safer to ride in), but I’m sure I’ll eventually end up in a half helmet of some kind. I’ve seen all kinds of designs, too. From dragons to skulls to flowers! The one’s that get me are the big, bulky, shiny ones (no offense to anyone who owns one of these – it’s just not something I could ever sport). I’ve seen guys wearing flip flops and shorts. Okay, okay, I admit it…I’ve ridden in shorts before, but never flip flops. Some guys like wearing just tennis shoes, and I’ve seen plenty of chicks wearing the high-heeled boots (ouch!).

Whatever your riding gear style, please make sure you’re safe out there!
