Motorcycle Safety-----Safety Vests
With more motorcycles on the road today than ever before, it is important to keep safety first on your mind!
First, the Facts
5154 people died in motorcycle crashes in 2007, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

This is a 6.6% increase from the past year, and it's even higher in 2008.
In 2007 motorcycle helmets saved 1,784 lives. NHTSA says that if all motorcyclists had worn helmets, 800 more lives would have been saved. Helmets are estimated to be 37 percent effective in preventing fatal injuries and 67 percent effective in preventing brain injuries.
Those statistics should prove my point! Wearing a helmet EVERY time you get on a bike is extremely important. However not all helmets are the same. It is important to have a DOT approved helmet.
Choosing the right kind of helmet
Half helmets or full helmets? Some people prefer to enjoy the safety of DOT approved helmets with a much lighter and open feel, others may enjoy being enclosed in a bulky secure fit full helmet. As long as they are DOT approved, the helmet will last and protect you through a crash.

Novelty helmets are nice and stylish to have, but are not DOT approved and therefore should not be worn on the streets and highways.
It is also important to wear proper body wear too. This includes: a good pair of gloves with proper knuckle support and finger padding, a motorcycle jacket or vest, reflective vest or reflective jacket ,and approved leg wear or at least jeans or heavy pants.
Riding a bike is fun and easy to get into that "Comfortable" stage. The more you ride, the more comfortable you will become with your bike and with yourself on the bike. Just make sure you keep riding with the proper gear and ride safely following all laws.
