The Winter Guide to Sorting Motorcycle Gear As the chill of winter settles in, it’s the perfect
HTML
The Winter Guide to Sorting Motorcycle Gear As the chill of winter settles in, itâs the perfect time for us Harley riders to take stock of our gear.  Weâre a unique breed, valuing tradition and style as much as the rumble of our bikes. Leather, denim, and the open road is all good, but looking âgoodâ can really suck if you lay your bike down. Riding gear can be âsafeâ and still have a great traditional look. [The Heart of the Matter: Leather Jackets]( A Harley riderâs leather jacket isnât just a piece of clothing; itâs a second skin.  Sure, in the fair weather, maybe itâs a vest, but whatever you wear, youâre expecting it to be the first line of defense and a statement of style.  Look for thick, high-quality leather.  It should be heavy enough to protect against abrasions but flexible enough for comfort. [Boots: The Foundation of Your Ride]( A sturdy pair of boots is essential.  They should be tough enough to protect your feet and ankles, with a sole that grips the road and the pegs.  Good leather is key here, as well.  Check for wear in the soles and ensure the boot still offers adequate ankle support.  Loose fitting or overly worn boots can compromise your safety and control when riding. [Gloves: Your First Point of Contact]( Leather gloves are a must for any serious rider.  They protect your hands not just in case of a spill, but also from the vibration of the bike and the elements.  Iâve got a love-hate relationship with gloves, as Iâve lost them all over the country while riding. Inevitably, when I do lose one, that hand is the one that catches a wasp or a world-record bug on the knuckle. [Helmets: Non-Negotiable Safety]( No subject is more polarizing to riders than helmets, between styles and safety. If you live in a state that doesnât require them, the choice is yours, but facts are facts: if you lay down your bike, itâs going to suck. If your head is bouncing around, itâs going to suck more. [Eye Protection?]( Whether itâs sunglasses or goggles, eye protection is crucial, especially running with no windshield or fairings. I like plain old (high quality) wraparound shades, and again, I keep an extra pair with me when I ride. Years ago, I took a small bird to the face at about 60 mph, and if Iâd have been wearing crappy sunglasses instead of Oakleys, it very well could have shattered the lenses and driven those into my eyes. At it was, all I got was a lot of scratches and a shiner. The Importance of Regular Gear Maintenance Regular maintenance can extend the life of your gear.   Now, in the midst of winter and awfully little time on the road, take an afternoon to go through all your gear. What fits? Whatâs worn out? What â honestly â doesnât fit? Most of the gear we ride with is expensive and well made, giving us a lot of years of use with minimal maintenance. Take some time to go through it, clean it, and be honest about it. Treat your leather with conditioners, check the integrity of your helmet, and put a little shine on those boots. Of course, when you decide that this or that piece wonât make it another season, everything Iâve talked about can be found at Bikers Den, and you already know itâs high quality and built to last.  [Check it out]( and keep the shiny side up.
