Motorcycle Gear & Information

She’ll never look better, she’ll never ride warmer, she’ll never be safer than when riding in leather.  And leather motorcycle chaps are probably at the top of her Christmas list!  Order today, and we’ll deliver by Christmas!

It’s the Christmas season, and all across America motorcyclists are donning motorcycle chaps, helmets and leather boots, they’re taking to the streets on their bikes, and they’re donating toys for kids in foster care.  This is a cause that melts the hearts of bikers.  They collect bears and strap them to the handlebars.  They collect trucks and dolls and strap them to the rear seat.  And then they ride to the local office of Social Services in order to hand these donated gifts to kids whose parents and families have, by all rights, abandoned them.  Makes you proud to know or to be a biker!  In a land where we want for nothing, we often forget about those less fortunate.  This Christmas, let’s choose to remember.  And may God bless all who donate toys, and those who are serving as foster families.

Palm Springs, CA, hosted the American Heat Motorcycle Event this year, and Sunday found the bikers, clothed in leather vests and jackets and motorcycle chaps, worshiping God and sharing stories of faith, for some it’s a new-found faith, for others it’s an ongoing relationship.  Many have traded in business suits and uniforms in exchange for leathers, many have traded in drugs, alcohol and gangs for faith in Christ and friendship in the CMA.

The CMA dates back about 35 years, and boasts at least 1000 chapters across the United States.  Members come from all walks of life, some giving up professional careers or putting their careers on hold for weekend events with the CMA.  Others have grown up in the motorcycle world, but instead of surrounding themselves with  harmful ideology and people, they now choose to fellowship with other believers in Jesus Christ.

Hey, ladies – I know just what you should put on your Christmas list!  Yeah, I know it’s only October, but Christmas is just over three months away, and now is the time to start planting ideas for what should be under the tree for you.  And if you ride, motorcycle chaps are the perfect gift.  They are a smart investment because of the durability and warmth of leather.  Should you ever be unfortunate enough to lay your bike down, nothing will protect you better than leather.

But leather chaps are made today in sexy styles and colors that match your leather jacket and compliment your figure.  Manufacturers are in tune with the idea that more women are riding than ever before, and they are making feminine, yet tough, leather items for ladies who ride.

Chaps are usually worn over denim jeans or other trousers of heavy material. They have their own belt, and usually are fitted around the hips, resting below the belt loops of the trousers. Except for chinks and armitas, which are designed to fit above the boot, most chaps are long, fitting over the boot and draping slightly over the vamp of the boot (see shoe).

Some motorcycle chaps are cut to hang long at the heel and nearly cover the entire boot except for the toe. Batwings, chinks, and shotgun chaps fit firmly but comfortably around the thigh, with shotguns continuing to fit closely all the way down the calf, though not so snug as to limit free knee movement. The shotgun design is a bit flared at the ankle to allow for the rider’s boot. Batwings and chinks are not attached around the leg below the knee.
