Essential Motorcycle Riding Gear

After you've purchased your motorcycle, there are still a few things you'll need to take care of before heading out on the open road. One of the most important things you'll need to do is make sure you have the proper motorcycle gear and apparel to keep you safe while you ride. We've created a quick guide to go over the most common motorcycle gear and apparel that every rider will need to purchase before they take off on the open road. Here at Antelope Valley Harley-Davidson®, we're happy to offer the latest motorcycle gear and accessories to our customers in Lancaster, and the surrounding communities of Bakersfield and Ridgefield, CA!

Motorcycle Gloves

Maintaining a strong grip on the handlebars when you accelerate to top speed is an essential part of staying safe while you ride, especially during rainy conditions. You'll want to purchase motorcycle-specific gloves that have strong traction! 

Motorcycle Clothes

Since your body is exposed to the elements while you ride, you'll need apparel that helps to protect your skin. Traditional motorcycle clothes provide protection from sunburns and breathable material so you'll stay cool even on hot days. If you plan to travel to a more rainy climate, consider choosing waterproof gear to keep you as dry as possible when you ride. 

Motorcycle Helmets

The most important piece of equipment you'll need is, of course, a motorcycle helmet. Not only are helmets designed to protect your head during a crash, but they are also stylish and one of the defining features of the modern biker. Make sure you choose a helmet that is accredited by one of the crash test rating agencies!
