The question is whether biker boots are a necessity

or just part of the traditional biker image?If you were to ask an old-school biker whether he would ride without his boots, you would usually get a resounding "no". One of those risks is burning your leg on the exhaust. To avoid a more serious accident a biker will sometimes have to turn the bike on its side letting it skid, andAir Max France Pas Cher, he will slide across the road. The exhaust pipe gets extremely hot while riding and even the slightest touch o skin on it will cause a burn. Wearing a boot that covers the calf can eliminate the possibility of burns and making riding more comfortable. They enjoy their tough, mean image, although they aren't necessarily so tough and mean in real life.Chaussures Timberland Pas Cher The stereotype most people have of the "biker look" is one that they are plenty comfortable with. This is the stereotype that most people identify with and is considered "traditional" biker apparel. The skin abrasions can be quite painful and serious. Modern bikers are driving new sportier bikes and wearing athletic shoes while they ride. The look is also something that is just comfortable to them and if they wouldn't wear loafers in everyday life, why would they wear them to ride their bike? These guys wear their boots daily, on or off the bike. The burn may be very serious, taking weeks to heal and often leaving a scar behind. When asked about today's sport bikers wearing athletic shoes to bike, you may hear a big chuckle. Today's bikers, however, are no longer so easily stereotype. Picture a biker in your mind. Riding a motorcycle involves certain risks. What is he wearing? Chances are that one of the first things you may imagine is their big old black boots, followed by a black leather vest and a white t-shirt. Little can be done to avoid injuries or death in the event of a serious accident, but the leather apparel can dramatically reduce or eliminate the exhaust burns and skin abrasions from skids.The safety concerns are a legitimate rationale for the leather apparel including their boots, but most bikers will admit the image matters as well. They may be reluctant to give their reasoning at first, but with a little prodding you will usually hear that their boots are worn for the image as well as for protection. If you are not a biker, but want to look like one, choose the clunky black leather boots, a hard rock t-shirt and awesome leather jacket or vest. Bikers often wear leather jackets, pants and boots to lessen the injury should this occur. Even if you are just a sporty weekend biker you might want to find a sturdy pair of leather boots (they don't have to be clunky or black) to prevent burns and protect your calves if you slide on the bike. Who knows, you might get invited for a ride and find a new hobby.Gregg Hall is an author living with his beautiful wife and family in Navarre Beach, Florida. Getting a burn is one of the most common biker injuries. Business professionals are riding cruisers while sporting a pair of loafers. They are not concerned with their stereotypeNike Shox Rival Femme and will don their biker apparel even on the hottest summer days.So a good pair of leather boots is a practical choice for any biker. Even passengers riding on the back of the bike often wear boots for the same reason.Another risk is severe scrapes from "dumping" the bike.
