AVOIDING COVID-19

The Coronavirus is in full effect and here are some tips to help you prevent getting COVID-19 aka Coronavirus while riding your motorcycle.

If the Coronavirus is airborne, I suggest using a full-face helmet to avoid coming in contact with the virus. The full-face helmet helps by covering your face and pushing the air away from the front of your face. It also covers your face from any debris that might be kicked up by traffic or even your motorcycle. The full-face helmet is also the safest style of helmet to wear when riding a motorcycle as it protects your chin and face, unlike the half-helmet or ¾ helmet. It is the best way to go!

Another piece of item that can help you not get Coronavirus is wearing your gloves. Wearing your motorcycle gloves will help protect you from any bugs that or debris that might hit your hands while on the road. I like to wear gauntlets because they can go over my jacket and do not allow anything to go in or out. Leather gloves are usually best as leather can outlive cloth especially when going through such harsh wear and tear being exposed to all of the elements all of the time. Feel free to wear anything you think works best for you but just make sure to wear it.

Another thing to consider is to make sure to not shake hands with other riders if you choose to go on a group ride. But, if you do, make sure to wash your hands! Group rides are always fun and can make for great memories however, given the circumstances with COVID-19 all the affection for fellow riders should be limited to fist bumps and waving. Overall, I would recommend staying indoors during this world pandemic but if you cannot sit still and insist on going on a ride, do just that. Go out go ride! But, head right back home do not look for somewhere to have a beer with friends or other riders as it will only increase your chances of being affected by the coronavirus.
