With quality gear, no speed is scary
According to statistics, the highest injury rate is among motorcyclists without a helmet and gear. The road does not care about the reason for recklessness or driving errors; it simply punishes. When you are sliding on the side of a motorcycle at 50 km/h, you do not have time to think about how to better tuck before flying under a truck stopped at a traffic light. You do not have time to think whether your body and gear will withstand the impending impact.
It is important to think about this in advance. Four things that extend a motorcyclist's full life: Helmet, Back Protector, Motorcycle Boots, Gloves
Motorcycle Helmet
The safest helmet is a full-face helmet. A closed helmet protects your head completely, including the chin. The joy of intact teeth after an accident is priceless, so I use a full-face helmet even in hot countries with temperatures of +35 degrees. Check out motorcycle helmets at Motokvartal. On this specialized site, you can choose from 1300 models.
Back Protector
The main function of a back protector is to protect the spine from overload during impact. The second function is to protect the rider's skin during sliding on asphalt. A motorcyclist in expensive modern protection can get off with a slight fright after a fall at 100 km/h. Protection against hitting a pole has not yet been invented, but in all other cases, a back protector can help.
Special Motorcycle Boots
My friend crashed on a 200-horsepower sportbike; the only gear he had was a helmet. He was lucky – he broke his legs and arms, but his spine miraculously held up. Many months of rehabilitation, titanium pins in his arms and legs – do you think he still rides recklessly in shorts and a T-shirt? If he had worn motorcycle boots then, there would have been fewer injuries. Check out leg protection at the link https://motokvartal.com.ua/motoboty/ – here you can choose from more than 200 models.
Motorcycle Gloves
Gloves protect hands during sliding on asphalt and from painful impacts of raindrops at high speed. For those who open the season early and close it late, gloves also perform a warming function.
After talking to bikers from different countries, I came to a conclusion. Even an experienced and cautious motorcyclist will likely get into an accident at least once in their life. Good gear will not improve driving skills or make reactions faster. It will increase the chances of survival and the integrity of the musculoskeletal system after an accident. After all, ignoring safety rules sooner or later leads to sad consequences.
