Biker Essentials: Jackets
As a motorcyclist, there are some items that should be considered absolutely necessary when it comes to travel.
Though much of the modern reach of this great American past time is now based on the many noteworthy fashions and styles related to the wider culture itself, today we shall be covering the more legitimate, essential side of things.
Where else to begin on such a topic than suitable jackets for motorcycles?
Whatever you like to call them, biker jackets, riding jackets, motorcycle jackets, I’m sure that we can all agree on their massive relevance within this passion of ours.
There are few who would even start the engine of their bike without first pulling on their jacket, and though this may be widely to do with the sublime and uncompromising identity most find in doing so, I like to think that motorcycle enthusiasts are a bunch far less reckless than most would care to perceive.
The truth is that, aside from a bike itself, biker jackets from motorcyclehouse.com are at the top, or at least should be at the top of each and every biker’s items list.
This goes without saying, no more so than in the case of travelling motorcyclists. These few remaining pioneers are almost indeterminable among the hordes of modern bike enthusiasts, however do still exist.
To these people, riding jackets symbolize, and in turn state, so much more than ‘I own a motorbike’. Instead they function on a far more anterior level, becoming a large part of a biker’s identity over the course of a host of experiences both good and bad.
Whether new to the world of motorcycling or a veteran of 50 years, there are few rituals likely to match up to the pulling on of a riding jacket- whether your 1st or 21st.
Not far off the process of selecting any other personal character feature as intentionally permanent as say for example, a tattoo- a motorcyclist’s choice of jacket is an extremely integral aspect of the culture itself.
A good biker jacket is likely to last a caring owner for decades. It is for this reason that the initial purchase of a suitable riding jacket, though likely to be costly- is entirely essential should you be serious about your new found passion for motorcycles.
The frivolous and entirely natural concept of hitting the road for an extended period of time is one that is extremely endangered at present. It seems that motorcycles, rather than maintaining their original connotations of a wild and free existence, are slowly crossing over into the realms of image and posture building.
With this, why not dig out that range of riding jackets you may have accumulated over the years, or wax up your debut number for its first outing and hit the road for a while.
There should be no wonder, as I say that it’s impossible to feel the flavor of true motorcycle riding without wearing a leather motorcycle jacket or even of some other fabric, depends upon everyone’s choice. So, jacket for riding is of immense importance and it would be in the years to come.
