Ladies have presently embraced the riding spirit judging by the high number of female bikers on the roads. So how would you embark on buying your bike riding girlfriend or spouse accessories that will make them stand out while riding?
The solution is simple, visit a local motorcycle dealership or online store and check out the wide range of items designed with the female rider in mind.
Clothing Material
Ensure you have correct dimensions when you head out to purchase riding clothes for a lady.
Steer clear of clothes if you are unsure of her body size. Ladies are particularly fussy about dressing and it would be embarrassing if you get it all wrong.
There are fancy riding jackets for ladies available in leather or synthetic material.
You can match these with leather gloves with or without fingers.
You can also get her chaps which normally come in one size fits all. Ensure you specify ladies chaps as a mix up will certainly get noticed.
In the clothing arena, you can also get boots for ladies. Look for leather boots with one and a half to two inch heels. They should at least cover the ankles and have double zip sides. Black and brown are popular colours but you can get adventurous depending on her taste.
Ensure you keep all sales slips or receipts in case you need to return some items.
Windshield and Helmets
You may decide to protect her face from the wind and occasional bug collisions by getting a wind screen fitted on her bike.
Viewing through a wind screen is not an optimal riding requirement but it can help especially on windy and rainy days. Remember that riding with a wind shield takes getting used to as the wind gets diverted by the shield.
Ladies motorcycle helmets are available in many designs depending on her personality. There are pink ladies motor cross helmets, half helmets, full face bike helmets and scooter Helmets.
Any motorbike helmets you purchase for her should be approved by SNELL or DOT for safety purposes.
Bags and Eye protection
You can purchase either a saddle or windshield rider bag for ladies. These bags are an essential kit for any rider to carry their gear in. a bag is especially useful for ladies who prefer to dress up after reaching their destination.
You may also buy a pair of sunglasses with interchangeable lens for different lighting conditions.
Throttle Rocker or Custom Seat
Choose to fit either a throttle rocker or a custom seat in your ladies motorbike. Throttle rockers are placed on the bar to reduce hand and wrist fatigue caused by holding the throttle for long periods of time. They are indispensable for any passionate bike rider.
Custom seats are built for extra comfort when riding. The original seat is always snug but a customised one will make it better.
Whatever motorbike gift accessories for ladies you decide to buy, think safety first and good taste and style after.
