Tips for Autumn Riding

Some of the first things any rider should do even before starting up the engine is to check the tire pressure. Colder weather condenses air, which is to say it compacts the air in your tires and takes up less space within the tire resulting in less pressure. Second, make sure all of your bike's fluids are fresh and doing their part, especially the brake and clutch fluids (if hydraulically operated). These hydroscopic fluids are known to absorb water as they age and can form tiny ice particles in the brake lines, which can obstruct the flow of the brake fluid and render your brakes useless.

Keeping warm while riding is extremely important and there is electronic equipment available today that will certainly help you to stay warmer. These include electric gloves, vests, and handgrips, all of which can do wonders for your hands and body. Disposable, air-activated heat packs are also a good way of keeping warm on long road trips. Available at most sporting good stores, these packs are relatively inexpensive and can easily fit into your gloves and boots. Another tip is to buy quality equipment: good quality gloves, jacket, leather boots, and a full face helmet will keep you warm.

Additionally, when riding you should make sure to cover all parts of your body that might otherwise be exposed to the air. The back of your neck is one specific spot that can bring your body's temperature down if it's exposed to the cold wind. Wrapping a scarf or neck warmer around your neck will greatly help.

Lastly, don't be too proud to don your raincoat if needed either under your leathers or over them when riding in temperatures so extreme that all of the aforementioned tips aren't doing the job. A good quality raincoat can really assist in blocking the wind (wind-chill) and prevent it from reaching your skin. Moreover, the raincoat will also act as a barrier and an insulator, keeping your body heat from escaping.

Hopefully these tips will assure a safer riding season ahead and help you enjoy year round riding.
