What NOT To Wear On A Motorcycle?

No matter how much you love riding motorcycles, wearing certain clothes while doing so can cause serious injury. If you’re going to ride a motorcycle, make sure you have the right gear. You need protective clothing, helmets, gloves, boots, goggles, and even a jacket.

In this regard, there are some things that you should avoid wearing when riding a motorcycle. These are,

Fashion leather: Don’t compromise your safety to look fashionable. You will not be notified if there is an accident. So you should always protect yourself by wearing a motorcycle riding jacket instead of a fashionable leather jacket.  

Half helmets: Half helmets aren’t meant to provide the safety you need. They are open enough to make your ride enjoyable with strong winds but provide zero protection. 

Not-certified helmets: Not-certified helmets or fake helmets come at a lower price, specs, and inferior build quality. Even if you are seeing them at a cheaper price, you should not purchase them.

Regular denim/shorts: Avoid wearing regular denim/shorts as they aren’t good enough to protect you from injuries. It is proven that in case of an accident, regular jeans and shorts can tear easily and deal massive damage to lower parts.

Tennis shoes/sandals: If you don’t want to hurt your toes, then don’t go out with tennis shoes or sandals on your bike.

Headphones: If you are not confident enough, don’t wear headphones while riding. This prevents horns of nearby cars from entering your ears and can cause serious accidents.

Avoid wearing these items when you are out for a bike ride. Get DANDANTheFireMan’s suggestion in this video.
