As the sun is starting to shine down in the south, I am sure all of you keen motorcyclists are itching to get out on your bikes once again. After dusting off your bike after its Winter hibernation and fixing any coughs or sneezes, it is time to think about your attire for the coming summer.
Whilst many of you will still be opting for the thick winter jackets to protect yourself from the strong winds and rain still lingering, it will soon be time to slip into something a bit more comfortable. During the summer it is important for you to stay warm on your bike ride without over-heating. If you are wearing a thick leather Winter jacket, becoming too hot whilst riding will make it very uncomfortable and ruin your entire ride. So it is best to be prepared and look into something more suitable for the warmer weather.
Alpinestars Air-Flo Summer kit provides the finest solution for all your summer clothing issues. Specially designed with innovative vents but without compromising on the protection, the Air-Flo Summer jackets are the perfect addition to your bike wardrobe. These jackets, made from 600 Denier Polyester, have mesh inserts to allow for air to flow freely through the jacket to keep the rider cool.
These lightweight jackets include all the usual elbow and shoulder protectors some of which contain compartments for both chest and back protectors. Although they use a mesh construction, they are non-water absorbing just in case you happen to get caught in a shower. Also available are the A-10 Air-Flo textile trousers encompassing the same mesh design for maximum cooling whilst riding. All in all the Alpinestars Air-Flo Summer kit is perfect for the long hot summer of riding.

Summer Rideouts
Now that the weather has started to warm up and the sun has started to come out, it is that time when we start planning our summer rideouts on our Honda bikes. With so many great rideouts across the United Kingdom and into Europe, there is definitely something for everyone whether it is in a group or alone.
When planning a summer rideout there are a few things which you may need to take into consideration. Firstly and most importantly, you should plan a route which avoids main roads, built-up areas and roads which are usually full of traffic. This will ensure you get the best out of the ride and spend your time having fun and not stuck in congestion. The route should also include some scenery and interesting roads to ride or things to see along the way.
When planning the route, you should make sure you know where the local petrol stations, food stops and any other amenities you might require along the way. If you are planning a trip which will take longer than a day, it is a good idea to plan where you are going to stop and where to stay before you go. There are plenty of cheap B&B’s across the country which will be far less expensive then resulting to a hotel or Travel Inn.
Once you have got the route planned out, you should consider the condition of your bike and clothing. Rideouts affect your bike differently to the everyday riding around and you need to make sure your bike is in a good condition and repairs are carried out before you go. This means the general checks that we normally forget to do must be done, for example tyre, oil, brake and light checks.
Also, now we are into the summer, you need to wear appropriate clothing for the ride. This means putting that thick winter jacket away in storage and getting something lightweight which will allow you body to breathe and stop you sweating uncontrollably. Alpinestars has a great range of summer clothing ideas including some Alpinestars gloves which are perfect for those hot and sticky summer days.
Finally all that is left is to pack up your things and get out on the road! If you are travelling in a group, it is a good idea for everyone to have a map of the route and know roughly where you are going. If you are stuck for ideas of rideout routes across the UK, simply do a quick internet search for local routes and you are bound to find one which suits you.
