There are many who love to take a ride on a motorcycle to feel the wind and the weather, at times, and to enjoy the feeling of the sun on their face. Though I am not partial to them myself, I have family members who love to ride them, and one that owns a motorcycle shop. I have learned a lot of things about these machines through them, and some things that I never knew about motorcycle clothing. I never really thought about it, but you do have to watch what you wear when you ride.
Most children learn that it is not a good idea to have anything hanging down from their legs when they are riding their bikes. The same holds true for motorcycle clothing. You don’t want to be wearing anything that could get caught in a moving part while the bike is in motion. You may notice that some have tight jeans on no matter what the fashion trends of the day are. They are protecting themselves from getting hurt.

At court I met it, in clothes brave enough
To be a courtier, and looks grave enough
To seem a statesman.

I always thought that leather jackets were a fashion statement for bikers, but really, they make a lot of sense if you think about it. When you are riding in a car, you have protection from bugs and other things that might be in the air. You don’t have that protection on a motorcycle. Those things can feel like bullets hitting your skin, and the leather jackets are some of the best motorcycle clothing protection you can have. Other jackets work, but these are probably the best choice. Even on hot days, you can get chilly on a bike, and they offer warmth as well.
One thing I never thought about was long hair. Though it is not technically motorcycle clothing, there are some things that women and men with long hair should consider before hopping on a bike. The wind can do a lot of damage to hair, and it is a good idea to protect it. Most put long hair in a ponytail or a braid, but there are hair protectors that go down the length of that ponytail or braid to stop the wind from knotting the hair. Though some motorcycle clothing might seem like a fashion, it is mostly for the protection of the body. Though a short ride on a motorcycle might not be that bad if you aren’t prepared, anyone going for a long ride needs to have the right clothing.
