A world where you are from the most essential, both for his own bike to the rider, even objects that might appear clearly little more than a mere ornament. However, always useful. A good example is the utility knife that has designed and produced the Ducati brand. Made by Victorinox and prestigious Borgo Panigale, the Ducati utility knife comes in two versions, Classic and Corse, and offers a world of services at a minimum size. It is definitely designed for the most Ducati travelers may face some unexpected trouble. Thus, the Classic version is available in four models, varying in size and functions, ranging from nine to 35. For its part, the Ducati Corse is decorated with the colors of the racing team and has performed in two versions: a 58-mm and ten functions and a 91 mm and fifteen functions. But the Ducati knife is just a small example of the wide availability of accessories for motorcycles. The list would include saddlebags, luggage rack, backrest, cables, seats, tachometer, odometer, emblems, horns, visors, glasses, cushions, plates, fenders, exhaust, platforms, bumpers, silent, windshield, clocks, tanks, pegs, grips, levers , handlebar controls, seatposts, handlebars, mirrors, glasses, helmets . . To get one of these accessories, you have to choose between products that offer a multitude of brands. On the one hand, manufacturers such as Hyghway Hawk, Mapam, National Cycle, LEDRIER Elate, Roof . . among many other generic products have high quality. Some of the most notable are the saddlebags, able to adapt to any bike and come to settle as an element not only useful but also excellent ornamentation. To do this, there are many models saddlebags, embossed, fringed with conchos, braided, rigid, leather, leather whip, chrome eagles . . Another example would be the backup variety, made with round tube, square tube, pilot, passenger, high, low, with rack, with pillows, side plates . . O controls that can replace broken or just for fun to bike carrying the series, as manufacturers strive to achieve not only functional elements, but also highly conspicuous, designing controls in different materials like steel or aluminum. The same happens with the windshield, exhaust, the seat post, the rack, foot pegs, chrome, handlebars . . To them, we must add the-art accessories, adaptable to motorcycles, such as GPS or browsers, among which the one made by TomTom, dubbed Rider, is designed specifically for motorbikes and scooters. However, a very interesting option is offered by the manufacturers of motorcycles. Guzzi, Harley Davidson, BMW, Aprilia, Ducati and Suzuki, among others, offer their own line of accessories, especially clothes for riding motorcycles. Boots, gloves, jackets, suits, shirts, jackets or helmets that make a full line of design in relation to showing the own bike. In some cases, such as Harley Davidson, accessories are not only a complement, but are part of a way of understanding the world of motorcycles, distinguishing the user from any other. In any case, among the accessories of a motorist there are some who are considered little more than imperative. Among them, the mandatory, not to be missed is never the hull not only required by law to carry and use, but also because it demonstrated its role as lifeguard. When buying a helmet, as for almost everything, the choices are many and varied. The only requirement at the time of purchase is duly approved. Furthermore, should fit snugly, with the head rotated and independently and must be tightened without actually overwhelming, because usually subsides somewhat and adapt to each head. Helmets are open, integrated, modular polycarbonate, fiberglass, carbon fiber, single-colored and extremely discreet or bold and colorful. Amid such variety, highlighting the helmets are the safest for. This type of helmet covers the head and chin alike, adjustable visors have different finishes, it may be clear or tinted to exercise as sunglasses. When purchasing a helmet must pay special attention to the locking system. You can be fast or double buckle. Both are equally safe and easy to open or close. In the case of polycarbonate helmets or carbon fiber, lighter than fiberglass, must comply with due evidence of approval and include that fact on their labels. Open or jets helmets cover the skull and are cooler in hot weather. It should have a visor that can avoid contact with insects or any particles that are in the air. Otherwise, it is highly recommended to use glasses. Finally, modular helmets combine the advantages of the previous two, they can be used as an integral closed or open, no chin, like jets, while protecting the face with a screen. Two essential elements between biker accessories are gloves and boots. The former can be protected from bad weather, especially in winter, so you should have to be waterproof and thermal liners. Also, its quality is higher if you have joint or reinforcements in high wear areas. Their function is not ornamental, then, when dropped, his hands still instinctively try to stop the blow, so the gloves to avoid injury, burns or abrasions. Something similar happens with the shoes, to ride a motorcycle, you should protect at least the ankle and leg cane. The least desirable are those that are closed with cords, as these can become entangled with the brake levers or change. Better if they close with Velcro and buckle or especially if they have any specific reinforcement in areas of wear, as in the left foot, forced to wear with more constant movement of the levers of change. The team can be completed, although much more options, with a jacket, can protect against possible falls, the wind or the sun itself. It should not only be tough, but also breathable and if winter models, suitably protected with thermal and waterproof linings. Must have adjustable waist, collar and sleeves and, if possible, reflective elements. Something similar can be targeted on pants, breathable, adjustable, reflective, waterproof winter. . One option is to mono, a garment that completely covers the motorist and can be placed on top of regular clothing and then leave it in the trunk of the bike.
