Riding in Cold Weather

 

To the casual observer, riding a motorcycle seems like an activity best left to warm days. However, the enthusiastic rider will often want to venture outside under colder conditions.

 

Dressing appropriately is the best way to keep yourself safe while riding your motorcycle in cold weather. Remember the following tips as you`re selecting your motorcycle apparel:

 


  • Keep your hands and feet warm. Invest in a good pair of gloves and some high-quality motorcycle boots.



  • Keep your torso warm. If your torso is cold, it will restrict blood flow to your hands and feet.



  • Wind-proof your body. Make sure the outside layer of your outfit is made of a material that will stop the wind.



  • Seal the openings in your outfit. Don`t let air come in through the neck opening in your jacket, the sleeves of your shirt, or the bottom of your pants.



 

If your bike allows it, you may also want to consider installing a windshield. If you plan to ride in cold weather on a regular basis, a windshield will keep you warmer than if you simply dress in appropriate motorcycle apparel.

 

While riding your motorcycle in cold weather, it`s wise to watch for signs of hypothermia or frostbite. If you start to feel uncomfortable, stop your bike and seek medical attention.
