SportBike Chic Protective Jeans

Today I want to talk about Motorcycle riding Jeans. Over the years I have done articles on the importance of wearing the correct pants when riding a motorcycle. I have talked about the different types of jeans and the pros and cons. I have always been upfront that some of the products I have talked about I have not had the chance to try myself, but I have done lots of research. One of the reasons I have not tried Motorcycle riding jeans is I am short at only 5’2 and I am, let’s just say a husky girl. For a woman of my size finding regular jeans that fit let alone riding jeans can be a challenge. Another reason is most riding jeans that may work for me have to be ordered on-line and that is not always the […]

Life Lessons

Life Lessons Life Lessons learned from Motorcycling So, it is almost the end of Motorcycle Safety and Awareness Month. Not that our promoting and practicing of Motorcycle Safety and Awareness is going to end just because the month did, we must promote and practice 24/7/365. Anyway, today let’s talk about life lessons we learn from motorcycling. These are not in any order but just how they came to me. I am sure there are more, and I will put links at the bottom that have more information. Fear can be both good and bad. You don’t want it to stop you, but you can use it to make you a better rider. Everyone Falls. You just get back up and move on. Sometimes the journey is more important than the destination. You can always learn something new no matter […]

Things the Non-Motorcycle Public should know.

Things the Non-Motorcycle Public should know. From the MRF some things the Non-motorcycle public should know about motorcycles. As riders we understand the dangers involved in doing what we do but sometimes the other motoring public do not. So today, I borrowed this information form the MSF (Motorcycle Safety Foundation). This is a list of 10 things you should share with the non-motorcycle pubic. Because you see the issues, you can do things to help combat them. Please feel free to put this out on Facebook or other social media. But please site that it came from the MSF. QUICK TIPS: Ten Things All Car; Truck Drivers Should Know About Motorcycles 1. Over half of all fatal motorcycle crashes involve another vehicle. Most of the time, the car or truck driver, not the motorcyclist, is at fault. There are a […]

Just Because May is Over does not mean Motorcycle Safety and Awareness is done with for the year

Just Because May is Over does not mean Motorcycle Safety and Awareness is done with for the year Well, it is the last day of May and the last day of Motorcycle Safety and Awareness Month, but that does not mean that your responsibility to be safe and aware is over for the year. We must continue to be on our guard and to also help the rest of the motoring public to be aware that motorcycles are out on the roads. This should be an everyday thing all year round. I hope you learned from the things I have been sending and they were enjoyable as well. I also ask that you be considerate when out on the roads and don't be that "Biker" who makes other drivers hate bikers. Now on with the safety Tip: Actually, I […]

Motorcycle Safety Classes

Motorcycle Safety Classes Why taking a Safety Class is a good idea We have all had someone (friend or stranger) come up to us and tell us they wish they could ride or that they want to learn to ride or that they are going to buy a bike one day. Most of us say that is nice and go on our own way. Most of us have also had a friend or relative that has come and asked us to teach them to ride. Depending on who is asking, sometimes we do take the time to help and sometimes we refer them to someone else. In my opinion, the correct answer to both these situations would be to suggest that the person take the local Rider Safety Class. Now, not all of these fine folks will, but if you […]

Motorcycle Safety and Awareness Month

Motorcycle Safety and Awareness Month The History of Motorcycle Safety and Awareness Month Today is May 1 st and that is the first day of Motorcycle Safety and Awareness Month. So, I thought I’d give a little history on May Motorcycle Safety and Awareness Month. Motorcycle Awareness Month was started in the early 1980s by AMA (American Motorcycle Association) and it was quickly adopted by many State Motorcycle-Rights organizations, government entities, and Clubs. The focus of it was to educate Non riders about Motorcycles in the hopes that they come more aware of riders and there will be less “I Didn’t See Him/Her” accidents. The Safety part was added because we also need to educate Riders on safe riding practices. Unsafe riders can be a danger to no only themselves but other road users. The reason May was selected is […]
