What is the checklist for motorcycle riding gear?
2 Answers
Here is an introduction to the checklist for motorcycle riding gear: Motorcycle toolkit: Stanley kit, spark plug wrench, spare spark plugs, small nuts or clips. Chain oil: Can be replaced with used R4 or sticky oil, spare R4 oil (3 cans), fuel container (plastic can) purchased on the road. Rainwear: Do not buy too cheap, pay attention to the crotch position of the rain pants should be glued, stitched ones will definitely leak, good rainwear may come with shoe covers which are especially practical in rainy days, can also keep warm when necessary, large bike lock, anti-theft device, tow rope, spare keys for motorcycle and large lock. Tires: Anti-puncture inner tube inflator, spare inner tube, self-sealing fluid applied to both front and rear tires (one can each).
Having ridden motorcycles for over a decade, I deeply understand the importance of safety gear. My checklist always prioritizes a helmet—it must be a sturdy DOT-certified one. The riding jacket should include shoulder, elbow, and back protectors, and I prefer Kevlar material for abrasion resistance. Gloves must cover all fingers, offering wear resistance and shock absorption. Dedicated riding pants come with built-in knee and hip protectors. Boots protect the ankles, preventing sprains. In harsh weather, I add a waterproof jacket and a reflective vest to enhance visibility. Once, during a fall, it was these gears that cushioned the impact, preventing serious injury. I advise beginners not to skimp on safety—regularly check for wear, like replacing gloves every two years, and adjust gear based on road conditions. In the long run, this investment can save lives and avoid fines.
