Motorcycle gloves, gear and apparel seem like just accessories, not much of a necessity, especially something as minute as motorcycle gloves. Truth be told, motorcycle gloves can be very useful, here’s why.

Reason #1 — No Motorcycle Gloves Equals Wet Palms

Motorcycle gloves seem like a useless accessory, maybe just to look cool, but motorcycle gloves really do serve a purpose. Motorcycle gloves prevent your palms from sweating all over the grips of your handlebars. While they may not prevent them from sweating inside the motorcycle gloves, at least they give you a better grip.

Consider this, you are driving down the highway at 60 or 70 miles per hour and your palms are sweaty and you are not wearing motorcycle gloves, you decide to change lanes. You tighten the hold on the grips and move to adjust your handlebars in the direction of the move. Suddenly, you find your hands slipping off the grips causing you to go careening either into the median and heading into oncoming traffic, or into a ditch. Either way, the simple decision not to wear motorcycle gloves that day, could cost you your life along with the possibility of taking others with you.  Read more...

The choices of motorcycle jackets available today are varied and plentiful. Styles are as unique as their designers, and modern synthetic materials give the biker an added option over the standard leather jacket, a tried and true material for protection against the elements and the road.

When making a decision on the purchase of a new motorcycle jacket, there are basically three areas of consideration that come into play, with various degrees of magnitude:

- the style of jacket preferred by the individual consumer

- the comfort and durability of the style and material used

- protection against the elements of wind, water, and temperature, as well as against the road

By todays standards, most of the major motorcycle apparel manufacturers have come to agree on a common set of characteristics that tend to the specific needs of bikers as learned over the years.

Texas drivers who have abandoned cars in order to save money on gas by riding a motorcycle need to understand the requirements and options available to them in the form of motorcycle insurance policies and coverage. Liability insurance is mandated by Texas, and motorcycle liability coverage is the same as that for an automobile: 25/50/25. It is wise to invest beyond the bare minimum of liability insurance, however, when seeking to indemnify your new motorcycle.

You should work with a licensed agent to assess what is called your asset exposure. This helps calculate the potential loss you could incur if you are ruled at fault for an accident and do not have the right type of coverage in your motorcycle insurance policy to protect you against that loss. Most motorcycle insurance carriers prefer the insured carry guest liability insurance in order to cover more than just themselves. This is because a passenger on the bike has the same rights to claim injury as someone struck by the bike should the cyclist be ruled at fault. Also, even if you are not ruled at fault, and a friend or loved one is injured in an accident, would you not want to cover the expenses of their medical bills should they be seriously hurt even if it is technically no fault of your own?  Read more...

When the price of gas peaked just before hundreds of thousands of Americans were getting ready to set off on summer vacations, many people thought it might be a good idea to trade in their gas hogs for vehicles that had better miles to the gallon. This was especially the case when told we better get used to high gas prices. Well, those prices have fallen a bit from the high of over four dollars a gallon in most states, but lots of people have made the leap from SUV to smaller car, or even motorcycle to get around.
