Motorcycle Merchandise
Purchasing motorcycle merchandise can be problematic. There are so many makes, models, styles, shops and web sites that you have to be somewhat knowledgeable. This is definitely one of those cases where one size does not fit all. Bikes & bikers are also from all over the country where certain types of equipment are either not allowed or not needed.
When you purchase motorcycle merchandise from your local dealer you’re usually assured of at least getting a part that will fit your make & model. If you are purchasing a helmet or clothing you do have the advantage of trying it on right then & there. Internet bike stores are where you find the bargains but you’ll have to wait for your item to arrive and if there are instillation or fit problems you are totally at the mercy of the web store. I have purchased many items for my bike on line and have had my share of installation and fit problems but I have always managed to get things resolved quickly. Quickly, in this case, means a few days. If you’re leaving for a trip in the next couple of days you might want to visit your local dealer.
Repair & customization parts are generally easy to buy on line just a bit of a pain to install. Clothing, helmets and boots are probably the hardest because medium isn’t the same from brand to brand. The easiest motorcycle merchandise to buy are key chains, wallets, mugs, t-shirts, patches and insulting skin care products. It appears no one has ever taken the bikers skin exposure comfort into consideration. I haven’t seen a line of lotions, salves, creams or anything else, specifically for bikers, that will help them cope with the elements.
Motorcycle merchandise has always been about bike parts like valves, chains, wheels, handlebars, risers and the like. It has also been about things to wear like chaps, vests, leather jackets, gloves, etc. There is even a category for other things like mugs, patches, key chains & t-shirts. Now someone has come out with a line of skin care products and a sex cream specifically with bikers in mind. Their products epitomize the new slogan “Sex, Bikes & Rock & Roll”! The best thing about these products is their crazy names.
It appears we now have new items that we can consider motorcycle merchandise. They are named in the vein of the motorcycling experience but they actually help protect the cyclist from their worst enemy, the elements. It is good to see a product that can help with wind & sun burn as well as another that will protect us from the sun without making me smell like a coconut!
