Why You Should Date a Woman Who Rides? Well, here are 10 Big Reasons!

Read Time:5 Minute, 3 Second

Is the answer because they’re awesome?

After thinking of many reasons why female bikers are an excellent choice for dating, we have come to the following very definite conclusions… read carefully.

1. They Travel Light

_______________________________________

It is a scientific fact that all a girl really needs for any given vacation fits easily into a tank-bag…

It is a scientific fact that all a girl really needs for any given vacation fits easily into a tank-bag: toothbrush, bikini, a little black dress, heels, sunscreen, lip-gloss, mascara, and a tire pressure gauge. Girls who ride motorcycles know this. No bulky bags crammed with “essentials” like clean underwear and shampoo that you’re expected to schlep around for her. Chances are, we’ve got a cool tank bag that doubles as a stylish purse anyway.

2. Perhaps A Cheap Date

_______________________________________

Forget $20 martinis and $50 sea bass…

Forget $20 martinis and $50 sea bass; Tehy’re good with a Frog Dog and a beer at the races. Of course, they dream-date is a long ride on a twisty road with lunch someplace where they bake their own bread and the hostess calls the guy making sandwiches “dad.” Bonus: They show up with their tanks already full.

3. They Get You

_______________________________________

Pull off a stunt like that and they’ll probably throw themselves at you.

Feeling like a rock-star for taking your scarlet-faired torque-monster of an Italian race bike down the “scenic route” on your GPS that turned out to be sixteen miles of winding, mostly-dry, dirt logging trails and moss-slimed riverbeds? They get that. You are a rock-star. Pull off a stunt like that and they’ll probably throw themselves at you.

4. They’re Tough

_______________________________________

It takes a lot to make motorcyclists cry…

Another scientific fact: if you drive a motorcycle, at some point, you are going to fall and explode. “I was there, I did that,” and they’re not going to boo when (not if) it happens again. It takes a lot to make motorcyclists cry… As in “sorry ma’am, that repair bill is going to cost you a lot.”

5. Crazy Ex-Girlfriends Are Afraid Of Them

_______________________________________

All’s that psycho sees is “BIKER-CHICK”…

Doesn’t matter what theyre ride (not like she’d know the difference, anyway), your nut-job ex sees you holding hands with some girl who’s holding a helmet in the other, and suddenly, camping out on your porch with a batch of your favorite cookies on what would have been the two-year anniversary of your first date doesn’t seem like such a good idea. You could be escorting the new gal to her pearl-pink Vespa, but all’s that psycho sees is “BIKER-CHICK”.

In the twisted hierarchy of feminine badasses, they’re sort of up there. Right under female Navy Seals and Heidi Klum.

6. They’re Into Leather

_______________________________________

Need We say more?

7. They’ll Support You In Ways Your’re Not Accustomed To

_______________________________________

Plus, they’ll keep you in gear, too.

As any man in a steady, co-habitative relationship with a woman knows, in order to maintain emotional homeostasis, all big purchases (doesn’t matter what for), must be approved by the female. It’s true. In 80 percent of U.S. households, it’s the woman who wears the fiscal pants, so it’s really in your own best interest that the woman in your house digs motorcycles, too.

Not only will they approve your purchase of that vintage scrambler or the latest bike-of-the-year, they just might surprise you with it on your birthday.

Plus, they’ll keep you in gear, too. When some poor guy stops to ogle your bike and utters that familiar, most emasculating phrase ever voiced by the human male, “I’ve always wanted a motorcycle, but my wife won’t let me have one”, go ahead, twist that knife. Tell him your girlfriend/wife bought it for you.

8. They’ll Get Off (And Stay Off) Your Back

_______________________________________

Admit it: riding is a lot more fun without a 130 lbs backpack.

Admit it: riding is a lot more fun without a 130 lbs backpack. Why, with our vast knowledge of spinal anatomy and physiology, we estimate riding solo could extend the total life-time and ride-years of the average 30 year-old rider by a good 17.4 years*, simply by removing the added physical burden of a passenger.

See where we’re going with this? Dating a woman who rides her own bike is actually healthy for you.

(*= a completely arbitrary statistic for which we claim full artistic license and hereby disavow any claim, real or otherwise, regarding actual health benefits).

9. Your Mom Will Love Them

_______________________________________

Secretly, every mother hopes her son will date a strong woman.

She may not admit it at first, but secretly, every mother hopes her son will date a strong woman. This is your ace in the hole when she tells your mom she works part-time as a dancer at a “gentleman’s club” while studying to be a tattoo artist. Mom will overlook all that: she rides a motorcycle, ergo, she’s strong. The line of thinking here is “good; let her take over,” And if a motorcycle-riding, pole-dancing, tattoo artist of a girlfriend can’t make a man out of you, get help. (PS – Most of they are not pole-dancing, tattoo artists BTW.)

10. Every Guy You Know (And Many You Don’t) Will Be Jealous

_______________________________________

We dig satire. Most of us, anyway.

You tell a guy about a girl you know who rides a motorcycle, and their imagination kicks in to sixth gear. Let it. (See motorcycle-riding, pole-dancing, tattoo artist GF, above.)

Finally, turning it up to eleven: We dig satire. Most of us, anyway.

Did We convince you?

Maintain Hairstyle While Wearing Helmet! This is the way!

Read Time:5 Minute, 20 Second

There is nothing worse than arriving at the office with hair that looks like it has been dragged through a ditch. Here is our tutorial that explains how to avoid it.

Hello, fellow motorcycle riders. I just wanted to go through how to maintain your hairstyle while wearing a motorcycle helmet, especially when you have hair that is medium-length or longer. In the past, people would just put it in a ponytail (braided hair), well, the problem with this is We’ve never known how to do a ponytail and to do a decent one, someone else has to do it for you.

If you don’t have a partner, you’re probably not going to mess with that. There are also things called hair gloves, which are these tubular things that have snaps on one side that you would throw your hair back and snap it inside this long tube.

The problem is those tubes still leave five to six inches of your hair hanging out the bottom, which is always going to flail in the wind and especially if you have long hair, which most women do.

Anything that flails in the wind is going to be all tangled up at the end of a few miles, so what are you supposed to do?

_______________________________________

Other bike riders have taken hair bands and put them at various links in a ponytail. The problem with that is your hair tailors and gets thinner towards the ends.

The chances are your hair bands at the end are going to fall off on the road at some point, and then you’re going to have 6 inches of hair flailing around in the wind getting tangled.

Here’s what I do, and this works. It took me a while to figure this out, but it works with just a $1 or $5 bandana.

First of all, take your hair and throw it back as if you were going to put a band into your hair and put a hairband into your hair, something you probably do every time you put your motorcycle helmet on.

Now get yourself a $1 bandana roll the ends in together until you get an extended band, then place it below that hairband at the back of your head than in the front, tie it off like you would a shoe, but don’t go too tight.

_______________________________________

Take the free ends and put one over and one under on the other side; this will make it where the wind resistance won’t loosen it.

_______________________________________

At the back, your hair should be underneath the bandana being held down. Give your hair a few twists with your finger and wrap it under the bandana. This should stop the back of the hair flapping around in the wind when you are out on your bike.

_______________________________________

This will last you 10 miles, a hundred miles, 200 miles; it doesn’t matter. If you have a cap or a half based helmet or a full-face helmet, this will hold forever. The best part is it will only take you about 30 seconds to do this.

Once you reach your destination, you can remove the bandana, and you are good to go. This takes seconds to do, and you will not experience one single tangle again on your motorcycle.

Some people prefer to wear a headscarf, which will cover more of the scalp of your head, so I thought I would include a short tutorial on how best to tie a headscarf.

How to Tie a Biker Head Scarf

_______________________________________

For bikers, head style is for those that are out on the open road, and the main concern is keeping your hair out of your face, but just because you’re playing it safe does not mean that your style needs to go out the window.

First, bring the scarf up around the back of your head, and right above your brow line, this should create a triangle in the back.

_______________________________________

You can then take both ends and tie it once and twice, and you’re ready for the open road and stylish for those of you with long hair. You will need to secure that as well; you may want to tie your hair back so that you stay stylish and safe.

Is Wearing A Motorcycle Helmet Bad For Your Hair?

_______________________________________

Anyone who wears a helmet for long periods can have issues with their hair. It doesn’t matter if you are wearing your helmet for legal reasons like a motorcycle or you take part in a contact sport, prolonged wearing of a helmet can cause problems.

Traction Alopecia

Constant pulling or tension being put on your hair can cause damage to hair follicles over a period of time. This called traction alopecia.

Traction alopecia can often be seen in those who wear tight helmets or a bandana, hair braid, ponytails for prolonged periods.

This happens when someone wears a motorcycle helmet that is too tight for them. To avoid hair loss when wearing a motorcycle helmet, you must purchase the right size helmet for your shape of the head.

The constant pulling of your hair, especially from the roots, can cause permanent hair damage, so again, having the correct fitting helmet is very important.

_______________________________________

One way to avoid this is too not tighten the helmet too much. Keep it tight enough so that if you had an accident, your helmet would still be tight enough not to fall off, but loose enough so that your hair follicles are not pulling all the time.

Bacteria from sweat can cause issues, especially if you live in a state like Florida, where the temperatures are a lot higher. Bacteria can build up chiefly in areas where you have the most padding, which can, over time, make your helmet a little smelly.

It’s essential to keep the interior of your helmet clean, so regular cleaning of your helmet interior is critical. There is an antibacterial solution available that you can use for the interior of your helmet after every ride.

We use Helmet Sanitizer. We find this to be good for those people who, like Us, suffer from a sweaty head after riding…

Breaking Motorcycle Myths, Part #2 (You Need To Be Very Strong To Ride A Motorcycle! Nah, just joking)

Read Time:7 Minute, 57 Second
There are lots of different motorcycles on the market today, from cruisers to dirt bikes. There is one thing they all have in common, they all are all different sizes and weights.
You don’t need to be a weightlifter to ride a motorcycle, but you need enough physical strength to handle your motorcycle. When the bike is on the move, little upper body strength is required; you need to be calm, in control, and aware of other road users. You also need the mental strength to ride securely and safely.

Unfortunately, many people are apprehensive about riding a motorcycle because they don’t think they have enough strength, but anybody of any size can take it up. This article will expand more on what you get the hang of as a first-time motorcyclist.

1. Is It Hard To Hold Up A Motorbike?

_______________________________________

Most sporty bikes take little effort to handle.

This concern is understandable, most motorbikes look powerful, and it’s natural to think that you need to be exceptionally strong to hold it up. Cruiser bikes can be quite heavy, and you may need to be quite strong to handle one. However, most sporty bikes take little effort to handle. Some little upper-body strength can help, but you don’t need to be athletic. There are three occasions when the weight of the bike can be an issue:

A) SLOW-SPEED MANEUVRES

If you are trying to turn at a slow speed, like five mph, you will feel the bike’s weight more, but knowing what to do with the clutch is more critical in this situation than being physically fit. However, you need to understand how to use the strength you have more than any other point in motorcycle riding. To get out of a cramped parking area, be sure to have a foot ready to put down when necessary.

B) MOVING WITHOUT POWER

Motorbikes are bulky, heavy, and large machines; even the average street bike weighs about 300 pounds. Be aware that there will be times when you could get stuck moving that weight about. For example, if the battery died, you would need to roll your bike to build enough momentum for the engine to turn. This could be difficult if you are on a level surface rather than at the top of a hill. Another scenario is if you need to put your bike on a trailer and can’t get it up a ramp. You may need people to help you; this can happen to the strongest motorcyclists.

C) WHEN THE BIKE FALLS OVER

This is a frightful situation to be in with your bike, but it happens even to the most experienced motorcyclists. Some people can pick up their bikes themselves while others need help. But you shouldn’t let this deter you from taking up motorcycling. It’s critical that you are at ease with your machine and that you grasp the proper way to ride; this means lots of practice.

2. Is Learning To Ride A Motorbike Hard?

_______________________________________

Learning to ride a motorbike is easier than most people believe.

Learning to ride a motorbike is easier than most people believe. They are not very complicated machines requiring expert skill levels to get started; really, all they are, are bicycles with engines. If you can pedal a bicycle, you can easily transition to a motorcycle. Balance is fundamental to motorcycle riding, much like bicycles. Then you must learn to control the speed and change the gears, turning, and braking. If you’ve never cycled before, mastering the balance doesn’t take very long.

How long it takes you to learn motorcycle riding is up to you as everyone progresses at different rates, some people can learn it in one day while others need several weeks. Take your time with the learning process and examine the following steps to help you get riding:

A) GEARING UP

Riding a motorbike comes with risks. But to minimize them, it’s essential to wear the right gear to protect yourself in the event of a crash. You must wear gloves, a helmet, durable boots (covering your ankles), a motorcycle jacket, and pants. If you’re not certain what kind of riding you plan to do mostly, street, on-road, off-road, adventure, etc., it’s best to stick to basics like Dynaeema or Kevlar.

B) CHOOSING YOUR MOTORCYCLE

Do not be too concerned about the model or make of your bike, but instead pay attention to the power ratio and weight. As a beginner, you need a light bike somewhere in the range of 250-650 cc, but you can move to bigger and more powerful machines as your riding abilities improve.

With that said, there is no particular motorbike for beginners – anyone can be a good first bike. However, you will know which one is right for you when you sit on it and get a feel for it. You need to feel balanced, and you should feel comfortable putting both feet down on the ground. Ask yourself, can you get on and off with ease? Can you hold it on the side stand? Are you happy with your seating position?

_______________________________________

There is no particular motorbike for beginners – anyone can be a good first bike.

Once you have sat on the bike, move it back and forth. Put the motorcycle on the center stand and move it around a bit. You must be sure that you can easily handle the motorcycle whether you are in or off the saddle.

C) BRAKING

Before you begin moving your motorcycle, you must understand how to brake properly. The rear brake is the pedal to your right, and the front brake is the lever on the right handlebar. To slow down your bike or make a complete stop, use both brakes simultaneously. Make sure to apply the rear brake by stepping on it and press the front brake lever gradually and steadily.


Do not stamp down hard on the brakes, as the wheels could lock and put you off balance.
Slowly push down the rear brake and pull the brake lever gradually to achieve controlled, smooth braking.


Practice braking when the motorcycle is still standing, roll forward slightly and press down the rare brake. Repeat this step by pressing on the lever and engage the brakes without catching the wheel discs too quickly.

D) CLUTCH AND THROTTLE

Once you have mastered braking, it’s time to ride your motorcycle and get to grips with the controls. New riders are often nervous about shifting gears, but you will get the hang of it with practice. There are five gears on a motorbike, first is down, then neutral, all the way to the fifth gear.

You must select the gears by bringing the clutch lever in. To get going with the bike, press on the clutch lever, then put it in first gear. Slowly roll the throttle while releasing the clutch, as you would with a car. When the bike is in motion, slowly release the clutch and add a bit of throttle. When you are at higher RPMs, take in the clutch lever fully, and accelerate less, before engaging second gear. For slowing down the bike, move the gears down to first gear and put it in neutral when you have stopped. Keep doing this until you have mastered gear shifting.

E) TURNING

Once you get used to the controls and feel confident, you can move on to turning the bike. You have to contend with U-turns, corners, and all sorts of tight spaces. When you turn corners, your bike will naturally incline into the corner. Go with that movement instead of just relying on your handlebars. Maintain a steadied throttle and look where you are going. Look through the corner to help you stay balanced. This will help you to avoid a crash or to stall.

_______________________________________

Once you get used to the controls and feel confident, you can move on to turning the bike.

F) KEEP PRACTICING

When you have finished a motorcycle course and obtained your license, you are ready to ride. Of course, as a beginner, you need all the practice you can get. However, start slow, practice riding quiet roads, and be mindful of traffic safety before hitting highways and interstates. As you get more used to riding, the controls will become second nature to you. Just remember to start slowly, refine your abilities, and, more importantly, relax.

3. Final Thoughts

_______________________________________

Riding a motorcycle is more about balance and has little to do with physical strength.

As you can see, riding a motorcycle is more about balance and road safety awareness and has little to do with physical strength. As a beginner, you must think about how to navigate your bike safely. It may help you to take a course with the MSF. There you will learn the fundamentals from an experienced instructor in a controlled and safe environment.

When you are new, do not bite off more than you can chew, and just because riding a motorcycle doesn’t require brute strength, you still have to use the power you have to control the bike. Make sure you feel really comfortable with your bike and that you can balance it easily. Understand your limitations, and get more practice should you need it.

Make a Motorcycle Helmet Fit Better! Learn How To Do It.

Read Time:9 Minute, 3 Second

Our heads come in all shapes and sizes and so do helmets. Making your helmet fit better is easy once you know-how.

There are a few ways to make your motorcycle helmet fit a little better, it may not just be the circumference of your head but the shape. Did you know that we all have different shaped heads? There are round oval heads, an intermediate oval head, and you’ve got a long oval head.

_______________________________________

You need to figure out is what internal head shape you need.

Now that you’ve narrowed down the style of the helmet you’re looking for the most important consideration you need to figure out is what internal head shape you need.

While all these helmets might look identical from the outside they each represent a different internal fit. You’ve got a round oval head, you’ve got an intermediate oval head, and you’ve got long oval heads.

A round oval helmet is going to be slightly shorter front to back with a bit of additional room at this side of the head. The intermediate oval helmet is a little bit longer front to back, slightly narrower at the side of the head and then a long oval helmet is going to be long front to back and narrow at the temple.

Purchase only the helmets that match up with what your head shape. If you find yourself in between two different head shapes just keep in mind the most popular shape for the American market is intermediate oval.

Every helmet that we’re going to discuss will carry a Department of Transportation or DOT sticker associated with it, which means that it’s legal for street use in the United States. You might see some other safety ratings out there like Snell or ECE, we’re not going to cover those in this article.

Regardless of what helmet price point you’re shopping at, or what safety rating you’re looking for all the sizing information in this article will apply to all helmets.

_______________________________________

Now figure out what size you want to go with and to do that you need.

Once you’ve determined the style you’re looking for and the shape that you need, all that’s left is to figure out what size you want to go with and to do that you need a soft tape measure and a trusted friend.

Choosing the correct size helmet is the final step in the selection process.

What you need to do is have your trusted friends stand behind your head and take that soft tape measure and measure around the crown of your head.

The reason that we would recommend having a friend take this measurement is that typically it leads to a more accurate result.

Once you have that measurement you should match it up with the manufacturer size chart on their website product page you purchase from. I say this because different manufacturers have different size charts so you want to make sure you’re using the chart that’s associated with the helmet you’re looking at.

Even after this is all said and done some helmets still tend to run a little bit larger and a little bit small, make sure to check out any specific notes on the helmet that you’re considering.

At this point, you should have a helmet that matches up with your style, your head shape as well as your size. Once it shows up we recommend wearing the helmet around the house for a little bit before you go out and actually ride.

_______________________________________

A correctly fitting helmet will be nice and snug around the crown of your head.

Watch some TV, do the dishes, just don’t ride in the helmet until you’re 100% sure that it fits you correctly.

A correctly fitting helmet will be nice and snug around the crown of your head without any uncomfortable pressure points, if you opted for a full face design the cheek pads should squeeze your cheeks nice and firm.

It should give you what most people would call chipmunk cheeks, you shouldn’t be able to comfortably chew gum. If after about an hour of sitting around in your helmet you feel like it fits you comfortably, congratulations you have got your new lid.

You can check you have the right style, shape and size motorcycle helmet while taking your safety and price considerations in mind. Hopefully, by this point in this article, you’ve had enough information to help you find the correctly sized motorcycle helmet.

If you want the best price for your chosen helmet you can always go to your local motorcycle store, check out the correct shape of helmet you need then purchase online.

Which Helmet Is Right For You?

When you know the shape of your head you now need to find out which helmet will fit your head shape. There are five different types of helmets available to purchase at the moment, we’re going to kick things off by taking a look at the open face helmet.

Open Face Helmet

The open face helmet is available in two different styles, there is the three-quarter design and the three-quarter design actually adds additional protection down around the side of your head. Open face helmets are also available in a half helmet design, which only protects the very top of your head.

_______________________________________

The benefits of an open face helmet is a mass amount of ventilation.

The benefits of an open face helmet is a mass amount of ventilation, they’re going to be easy to get on and off, and they’re not going to feel restrictive when you’re wearing them.

Pros

  • More ventilation
  • Easy To Get On and Off
  • Less Restrictive

The main drawback of an open face helmet is that there is no protection for your face or your eyes. I mean no protection in the event of a crash but there’s also no protection from the elements, so if it begins to rain or it gets cold you’re going to get all of that right in your face.

Cons

  • No Face Protection
  • No Eyes Protection

For a bit of additional protection let’s take a look at a full-face helmet.

Full-face Helmet

The full-face helmet is the most typical you’ll see on the street and it’s the only helmet you’ll see on the racetrack. You can get full face motorcycle helmets for women as well as men.

_______________________________________

The main benefit here is you do not have the added protection of a chin bar.

The main benefit here is you do not have the added protection of a chin bar, that works its way across the front of the helmet as well as a built-in face shield to protect your eyes.

Another additional benefit to all of this protection is that it’s quieter than an open face helmet when you’re riding down the road.


Pros

  • Built-In-Face Shield
  • Quieter

Some of the drawbacks are it’s a little bit harder to get on and off, and If it’s not fitted correctly it can be uncomfortable and that’s why getting a correctly fitting helmet is so important.

Cons

  • Difficult To Get On & Off
  • Uncomfortable If Not Fitted Correctly

This is a traditional full-face helmet but there are a couple of different varieties on the full face so let’s take a look at those right.

Starting with the modular helmet.

Modular Helmet

The modular helmets have become extremely popular with both touring and commuting riders because the main benefit of a modular helmet is that you can actually open it at the chin bar.

_______________________________________

This allows you to get the helmet both on and off a little bit easier.

This allows you to get the helmet both on and off a little bit easier and when you’re sitting around in the gas station you can eat food, take a drink or simply have a conversation without taking the helmet off.

Pros

  • Chin Barr Opens
  • Easy To Get On & Off
  • Less Restrictive

Some of the drawbacks of a modular helmet are they tend to be a little bit heavier and noisier than a traditional full-face and the chin bar can be a potential point of failure in the event of a crash.

The one note I want to make is that these are not designed to be worn in the open position while riding your motorcycle, so just keep that in mind.

The next variation to take a look at is the ADV helmet

The ADV or adventure helmets are designed for folks that like to ride both on and off-road. The benefits you’re going to see with this is that you have a helmet that’s going to be more comfortable and quiet than a true dirt bike helmet would be on the street.

_______________________________________

The ADV or adventure helmets are designed for folks that like to ride both on and off-road.

You will still be able to use goggles with this, and these are going to be safety rated which means you can use them both on and off-road legally.

Pros

  • Comfortable & Quiet
  • Usable With Goggles
  • Safe On & Off-Road

The drawbacks here are they’re going to be a bit heavier and not nearly as well ventilated as a true dirt bike helmet. They’re still going to have this peak on the top which can cause lift at fast highway speeds.

Cons

  • Heavier
  • Less Ventilation
  • The peak can cause a lift

This is going to take us right into the final variation of a full-face helmet which is going to be a true dirt bike helmet.

Dirt Bike Helmet

A dirt bike helmet is a very specific tool designed for off-road riding. The main benefit you’ll see here is that there’s a mass amount of ventilation, they’re typically lightweight and they’re very easy to clean and maintain.

_______________________________________

A dirt bike helmet is a very specific tool designed for off-road riding.

Pros

  • Lightweight
  • Easy To Clean

Some of the drawbacks, however, is they might not be DOT rated so they might not be street-legal. You’re also going to notice there’s no protection from the elements, they can be a bit noisy and the peak can cause lift at extreme speeds.

Cons

  • Not Always DOT Rated
  • Peak May Cause Lift

We all know after a while our helmets start to smell a bit, you know the pungent smell that comes from years of wearing our helmets in hot weather.

Clean Your Motorcycle Boots! Part #2: Dry Your Motorcycle Boots, Super Quick and Easy

Read Time:5 Minute, 53 Second

This is to all workers, hikers, riders, and anyone who had a bad day with wet boots. Been there, done that. We’re so sick off those wet, damp, stinky boots, and we know you feel the same as well. But no more wet boots, guys. It’s time for the best solution for drying your motorcycle boots.

Looking for some magic to make that happen? Look no further. We’ve put together a whole list of hơ to properly dry your boots without leaving any odor left. And it’s not just that, during your ride, you’ll easily get a splash or catch rain, aren’t you? We will show you how to keep the best motorcycle boots that you love always dry and clean.

_______________________________________

Start with using a soft brush to remove any dirt or debris left on the boots.

What To Prepare Before Drying Your Boots?

First, start with using a soft brush to remove any dirt or debris left on the boots. This will help you remove all the stains and discoloration of your motorcycle boots.

Next, remove all the laces if your boots have any. Or if yours have some straps, open them out as well. This will help to dry them quicker and avoid having stains. If it’s possible, also remove the insoles.

Work in a large, has excellent air circulation space. Lay a clean towel under your working session to prevent any damage to the floor. And now, you’re ready to clean it out!

Best Ways To Dry Your Boots

_______________________________________

1. Boot Dryer

If you tend to say something like it’s such a waste of money, but hold my beer. It will cost you quite a lot at first, of course, but consider this as an investment piece. But since your boots are some of the best motorcycle boots, you will want to protect and take care of it properly. There is no way on Earth you would wish to have bacteria and fungus partying in your shoes, right?

But this is only useful if:
  • You want everything dry and clean over a few hours.
  • You live where it’s always rain and cloudy all the time.
