Motorcycle Rain Gear

Motorcycle Gear

Every year in the Spring I start to think of riding my Motorcycle. As I think about different rides and places I want to go, I start to think of the motorcycle gear I have and what I may need for this season.

I start to make a mental list of what I used last year and if it provided me the comfort and protection I expected. I go to my motorcycle leather jackets; I have 3 and each is for a different time in the season. I have a great selection of jackets and motorcycle gear on my web site: www.motorcycleleathervalue.com.  I have one leather jacket that works well in the early, cool months of riding. This jacket has a permanent liner and keeps me quite warm. I then move to my versatile leather jacket; this has a removable liner when it is warm but it also sheds rain very well. My last motorcycle leather jacket is one that provides afford good protection and this one I consider my “fancy” leather jacket. I use this one for special one day events. This jacket looks the best and is the most stylish.

I find I am all set with my leather, as usual. Any motorcycle rider worth their salt already has their leather jacket all set and ready for the season. I then move to my yearly motorcycle gear dilemma; rain suit or not? Regardless of the riding season I never plan to ride in the rain. In fact I go to great pains to only ride when the weather forecast is favorable. If the forecast is for 30% or less chance of rain, I go for it! Well it never fails, each season I get soaked at least once despite my planning. So here I go again, do I need to get more motorcycle gear for this season? The internal battle of rain suit or not continues to rage.

You see if I buy one, I almost would never bring it with me; remember I don’t ever plan to ride in the rain. So I ride, get caught in a storm and where is my rain suit? Yup, that’s right; it is at home in the shed with the rest of my motorcycle gear that I didn’t think I needed for that day. So I get wet again! Then the day comes that I really want to ride, the forecast calls for a 40% chance of rain so I go prepared with my rain gear. Sure enough, it starts to rain. I suit up and stay dry for the ride. I make my trip, get home and all is well? In the morning I go to get my bike out to clean up from the rain ride. I find that my rain gear had melted on my pipes! ARGH! I had the right motorcycle gear, but now I have a mess to clean!
