Strap On Your Motorbike Gloves & Become A Racer

Racing is not as dangerous as it might seem. Many racers feel safer on the track than on the street...everything is controlled, everyone goes in the same direction and at roughly the same speed. There are no cars and trucks...racing a motorcycle is safer than you think...with your motorcycle gloves at the ready, you can experience the thrill of riding your bike on a racetrack at track day.


To be a good racer you need to have good upper and lower body strength. The best riders work out and eat healthy low-fat diets.

Motorcycle racing is a physical activity. You need to be able to wrestle your bike from hard left-handers to sweeping right turns in a flash. Guys and girls can do it! Girls are just as capable of strapping on the motorcycle gloves as any guy and is also capable of maneuvering the bike around the track. Many girls are enjoying the sport. They are showing the skills, training and experience it takes to become a competitive racer.

 You can build a competitive racer for a low as $2,000 if you do much of the work yourself. At club level, everyone is equal and riding ability is more important than sophisticated machinery. Don't forget your motorbike gloves!

How To Lift A Fallen Bike

If you've dropped your bike for some reason and found that you have no broken bones or other serious injuries, take off your motorcycle gloves and DO NOT sit down next to the bike and light a cigarette thinking how lucky you were. There's a chance gasoline has leaked out of the tank and you'll blow yourself skyhigh! There's also a chance battery acid has leaked out and is beginning to burn holes through your leather pants and into your backside!

Lifting even a small bike can injure your back, especially after you've just survived a crash and then you get hurt trying to lift your bike! Holy Motorcycle Gloves...what an embarrassment! If you do have a dicky back, then get someone else to lift it.

If you do have to lift it by yourself then leave your motorbike gloves on and use leverage...first, grab the handlebar closer to the road with a firm grip of your motorcycle gloves. Turn the front toward you. Grab a solid part of the frame. Work your knee under the seat. Bending your knees and not your back, use your legs to lift the bike upright, being careful not to allow the bike to fall over in the opposite direction.

Before you ride off into the sunset, check that the handlebars are firmly attached to the forks. If they are not, your motorcycle gloves and 'bars will break loose and you'll crash again! You'll be back to square one. What a drag!

Comfort, Safety and Speed with Twisted Motorcycle Gloves

Power! What riders desire above all else…in a straight line! The ability to brake will keep your motorbike gloves on. In many countries, learner riders have to find out how to brake well themselves.

The most common rider-at-fault accident is running into the back of another vehicle. And, it’s also the easiest to avoid. Okay, you ride too close to the back of a car. Your motorbike gloves are twitching with anticipation. A bike will never out-brake a car. Cars have four big, fat, ceramic, carbon, ABS plates that drivers just plant their big, fat plates of meat on, that will stop in a much shorter distance than a bike.

Practise braking. The distribution of weight, and the process of shifting weight while braking, is different with each motorcycle, and it's important that you can feel the differences. Practice in a parking lot will teach you to feel what's happening with your bike.

Balance is crucial when braking. That’s why we have front and rear brake controls…unlike the car. Most experts agree that roughly 70% of braking effort should go to the front wheel (which uses the hand lever on the right grip), and 30% to the rear (which is operated by the right foot pedal.) A two-fingered motorcycle glove approach is ideal for sports bikes…whereas a four-fingered motorcycle glove grip is ideal for cruisers.

Remember, there is a process called “staged braking”. This is when you apply the brakes in a staged process. This gives you a predictable and progressive braking.

Give yourself room!

Once you do that, you are able to screw the gas with your motorbike gloves and set your sights straight ahead!
