Motorcycle Boots for Safety’s Sake – Part 1

A motorcycle is one of the most convenient and economical modes of transportation. The motorcycle is marketed worldwide with types to suit all tastes. Because of the continuing high cost of gasoline (well, it's cheap now, but we all know that won't last!) more people are riding motorcycles to and from work. Many people prefer to buy a motorcycle or scooter because aside from the expediency that it offers, it is also a more affordable vehicle compared to cars and trucks. A good find on a second hand motorcycle can be a real value and still have a lot of miles left on it. Spare parts for scooters and bikes can be bought almost anywhere, including online, at a minimal price. Just a little overhauling, and maybe some cosmetic work and you’re good to go.

Now with all that said, a motorcycle enthusiast must have proper motorcycle riding apparel, which should include quality motorcycle or Harley boots, a helmet, a set of leathers, including pants, chaps, a jacket, and accessories, like goggles and rain gear. These should haves ought to be well chosen and deliberately bought with quality in mind for optimum protection. The single most important "must have" piece of this gear would, hands down, be a good pair of safety boots. No offense to scooter riders, but we're talking motorcycles here. Fat Boys, Soft Tail, choppers, bobbers. Ok, I know, that HD FXDL Low Rider or an old pan head can affectionately be called your "scooter"...lol Let's face it, a genuine motorcycle can be a lot of weight coming down on a pair of sneakers! Some folks may prefer to not wear a helmet, leathers and the other stuff, but few will get on with out their riding boots.

This post started out as a single article, however I felt that more should be said on the subject of motorcycle boots and their importance from a safety standpoint. So stay tuned. Part 2 will be coming shortly!
