Biker Jewelry

Words such as bold, decadent and daring can quite easily be used to describe bikers and the biker attitude. So too can these words be used with biker jewelry. Whether you're part of the culture or just like the designs, this form of jewelry can and does create a feeling and deep bonds of emotion with the wearer and sometimes with those who see it. Covering a wide range of designs, from the quintessential skull to sometimes religious images, the range of designs available provide for any belief or image you may have of bikers.

GPS Biker Sunglasses

This is one for the wish list. They aren't designed for bikers, but rather snow skiers, but the tech is there and it should only be a matter of time before we see something for bikers, I hope. Of course there's also the problem that they may be distracting, and I'm sure there'll be some regulations to deal with on that front.

Biker Vests – Fashion Accessory or Protection

I was surprised recently to come across a discussion about biker vests and whether or not they performed any function other than being a fashion accessory, or somewhere to put badges/patches. What a load of rubbish. Just like all leather biker clothes they can and do perform a protective function. Just because they don't cover your arms like regular jackets doesn't mean that they don't protect the parts of the body that they do cover.

Caring For Your Motorbike Leathers

Motorbike leathers can represent a significant purchase. And whether they are used while riding or as part of a fashonable outfit, it is important to do certain maintenance to keep them at there best. Of course, using them while riding will create more wear and tear, it's still important to maintain the leather for whatever the reason they are worn.

When choosing a cleaning solution, make sure that it is made especially for the type of leather you are cleaning. Using a furniture leather cleaner on your biker leathers can cause more damage than it repairs. Motorbike leather tends to be made of a harder leather than the leather used in furniture. The exception to this may be for designer leathers that replicate the looks but not the durability of motorbike leathers. However, even when dealing with the softerleathers in the designer lines, it is still important to use the proper cleaners.

Using conditioners can help in prolonging the life of the leather sigificantly. But as with the cleaner, choose wisely and use brands that are recommended by people you trust, makers can often (and do) make claims that are not lived up to.
