Bike Mittens
I am certainly not a fan of fancy, high-tech bike mittens. The truth is, within the past 13 years, my personal favorite safety gloves are actually a set of practical, all-purpose Olympia motorbike gloves that come with a changeable high glove, as well as reinforced palms and knuckle guards. That’s about it! In a nutshell, these are fundamental motorbike gloves.
Yet my ride with those rugged Olympia gloves finally ended because a couple of fingertips finally wore through. Immediately, my first thought was to replace these for Olympia’s newest pair, the 410 Gel Sport, which is basically a refined version of what I have been wearing since 1999. Similar features include the extended glove with very useful hook-and-loop adjustment and strengthened (dual-layer leather) in critical places.
However the newer gloves are considerably improved, and also have silicone gel padding in the palms for increased comfort, along with a special side cut in the glove for better fit over jacket sleeves. Otherwise, the 410 is similar to what I have been using, so there are no bulging composite guards on the knuckles, or articulated finger shields to encumber the ride. And although Olympia provides a very similar glove with insulation (4350 All Season I), there’s no padding in the 410 to further separate my grip from feeling the hand controls. To put it briefly, the 410 Gel Sport gloves are the ideal replacement for the worn-out and torn safety gloves that was with me for numerous unforgettable miles.
Motorcycle Bag
Flexibility is a useful asset for motorbike equipment baggage. A motorcycle travelling bag ought to haul ample cargo, be easy and convenient to use, and suit a number of motorbikes. The Overnight bag from Harley-Davidson is undoubtedly a tote, one that is fixed to a passenger bar or, due to its 16-1/2″x 12″x 11″ measurement, stores on top of or in a Tour-Pak.
The tote is crafted from processed 1,680-denier ballistic nylon material that maintains its shape and has a UV-resistant finish to help its black color withstand sunlight. Reflective 3M Scotchlite lining enhances night visibility by other vehicles, as well as an built-in 190-denier, rip-stop nylon rainfall cover that sneaks into the two-zipper sided pouches assists in maintaining your gear dry throughout bad weather conditions riding. Contoured zipper handles are easy to utilize even with gloves, as well as a short nylon net inside of the main compartment’s mouth helps prevent objects from falling out when searching your gear.
The Overnight bag includes a Spandex mount mechanism that slips over the motorcycle’s passenger bar, as well as a series of plastic D-rings (a couple on each corner) for attaching bungee cords, and also 2 shortened, web-nylon straps allow you to easily set up the bag securely on the motorbike. I usually found it far better to make use of more bungee cords to avoid load shift. A big handgrip allows you to handle your tote from motorcycle to hotel room. A removable shoulder band is additionally supplied.
When upgrading your bike, make sure you install high quality parts and accessories like, brake cables, Z bars, chains, rims, and a lot more. This gives you the confidence and comfort knowing that you’re safe riding with products that will not fail on the road.
