On a motorcycle it is essential to wear suitable clothing and gloves, and to have panniers and tires for a more comfortable journey
For most, being a motorcyclist is not just a hobby consisting of choosing a two-wheeled vehicle, driving it and little else, but it is a whole philosophy, even a way of life. For this reason there is a whole culture around motorcycles and motorcyclists so if our gift revolves around this we will certainly be right but,
what can we give away?
Not only in winter, but at any other time of the year, a motorcyclist’s wardrobe should never be without a waterproof jacket and trousers (with protection) to protect them on rainy days.
Also a helmet, which is not only a complement when driving, but also mandatory for safe driving. The life of a helmet, although it depends on the material and use given to it, is usually never more than eight years. So it may be a good time to replace it with a more modern one or one made of lighter materials. Another option for winter is a balaclava, a balaclava-like piece of clothing usually made of very fine cotton. This prevents you from getting cold on the head and face.
Gloves are another essential accessory in every motorcyclist’s kit, but especially in winter when it is cold and raining on many days. They must be thick and contain several layers, at least one of which is waterproof. In addition, it is ideal that they are long, to avoid leaving space between the jacket and the glove. As for the materials, it is better that they are textile than leather, as they are more waterproof and perspire better. Sanity (nylon) is one of the most recommended materials, as it offers protection against cold and wind and is generally very good value for money.
Another fundamental addition to ensure safety and comfort on the motorcycle, they must protect the fingers, feet, ankles, calves and shins, both from damage caused by falls (scratches or burns) and from bad weather. It is very important that they are made of good quality material to insulate you from cold and moisture and to withstand wear and tear.
Also leg protectors. Not only to avoid the cold, but also so that your legs do not get wet. On the market you will find them with an anti-theft system so you don’t have to remove them when you get off the bike and put them back on when you get back on.
Another very useful accessory for motorcyclists due to its ergonomic design that distributes the weight on the back and hips, creating more aerodynamics while riding. In addition, they are made of lightweight and waterproof materials and usually have a compartment to carry the helmet once the motorcycle is parked.
In the same way a good gift that goes perfectly with the gloves and that you will find very useful and comfortable at this time of year when it is normal to have low temperatures. They are connected to the battery and provide heat to the rider’s hands
Also a tank bag or a motorcycle cover. The first is a kind of backpack anchored to the tank by straps or magnets with an average capacity of 25-30 liters, so that the motorcyclist can store everything he needs for his routes or trips. They are made of materials that are resistant to water and mud. The cover is very useful whether the motorcycle is in the garage or on the street so that the battery does not run out or simply so that it does not get dirty.
