5 tips for coping with motorcycle falls!

TheAutumn here ! Its orange landscape, beautiful yellow leaves and still mild temperatures make you want to ride a motorcycle? Be careful,Autumn can prepare surprises for you. To meet the season in peace, follow our practical tips!

Tip # 1: beware of the leaves!

Autumn is well known for its beautiful yellow-orange leaves, but they can quickly deteriorate when you drive through motorcycle... When cornering, accelerating or braking, one sheet is enough to lose traction. You have to be even more careful when the leaves are gathering on the road. The road can get very slippery and dangerous! If you see leaves, adjust the pace accordingly, do not brake abruptly and forget about hard acceleration.

Tip # 2: prepare for the rain 

If the fall and the still mild temperatures make you want to ride, the weather can quickly play a trick on you! If you want to avoid getting wet after a few kilometers, plan raincoat under the saddle or in luggage. Don't hesitate, discover our Baltik rain range to be ready to resist drops, small and large!

If you're ready to ride in the rain, note that the first light rains make the road very slippery. Oils and fuel entering the carriageway together with water transforms the road into a real roller. Again, adjust your pace, pay attention to a safe distance, and always brake gradually.

Tip 3. Optimize your visibility

Whoever says visibility does not mean that it is good to see. On a motorcycle it is also very important to be well noticed! From September the days are getting shorter and the sun shaves the road in the morning and evening. First of all, it is very important to see well. To avoid glare, you can opt for a darkened screen (which should be avoided in winter), lunettes de Soleil or double sunscreen if your helmet equipped with it. If bikers blinded, motorists too. That's why, in addition to being able to see well, you must be clearly visible! The simplest solution is to have relatively prominent colors.

Tip # 4: Prepare for the Cold

While temperatures in September are fairly mild, they drop rapidly as winter approaches. To avoid Cold fast and stress on motorcycle, arm yourself as best you can. Materials such as Gore-Tex both provide protection from rain and cold, but it is also extremely breathable. Since your hands are in direct contact with the air, it is important to be optimally equipped if you do not want to freeze from the first mile. Feel free to follow our advice when buying motorcycle gloves.

Tip # 5: check your tires

Regardless of the season, your bus should be in good condition when you hit the road. However, you need to be more careful when the road is wet or even frozen. A worn tire increases the risk of losing traction and aquaplaning in the rain. In addition to the general condition of the tires, remember to check the pressure regularly following the manufacturer's recommendations.
