Perfect Riding Gears – 

Don’t skip putting money on buying riding gears. That’s what I will suggest to everyone out here, who wants to do touring on their motorcycles. Yes, they cost on the premium side, but will surely be by your side when you need the most. 

Looking at the weather on a Saturday, I started off with my ride to a destination which is nearly 150km away from my hometown. Just after a few kilometres of riding, a patch came where I completely lost control of my bike, it wobbled, throwing me aside. Just a second later I was sliding on the road. It happened, the thing that bikers fear the most – an accident.

Just after a few seconds, when everything got all right, I stood up and dusted off my gears, looked at my bike and saw how big the accident was. My bike’s gear lever assembly was hanging outside – damaged, scratches on the left side of my bike, even the left tail tidy was damaged or I must say destroyed. 

After looking at the condition of my bike, I tried to check if I had sustained any injury – thanks to my riding gears, there was none – not even a single scratch on my body. For your information, I was wearing proper riding gears – Jacket, Pant, Gloves, Boots and Helmet. If I had not, I would have sustained many injuries. That’s why, take my piece of advice, never skip buying a perfect riding gear – be it a short ride or a long – accidents don’t come invited, neither we want them to happen, but it happens and is inevitable.
