    Ride Safe (and Warm) During the Winter

    By northstarins | Archive, Personal Insurance | Comments are Closed | 22 December, 2016 | 0

    Along with motorcycle insurance, the winter may stop most motorcyclists from riding, but it doesn’t stop everyone. 

    The summer and fall are the most popular times to ride your motorcycle. And while the winter may deter most riders, we know it may not stop you. And there is no doubt that a warm rider is far safer than one that is frozen in the frigidness of winter. Being cold can lead to shivering, exhaustion, memory loss, confusion, drowsiness, slow reaction times, stiff joints, and other terrible symptoms. There isn’t anything brave about braving the cold conditions, only foolishness. Apart from motorcycle insurance, here are a few tips on how you can ride during the winter and keep yourself warm and safe.

    1. Thermal Under Wear
      Motorcycle and outdoor stores sell a wide range of thermal under wear which is effective. While thin, it insulates well and does not restrict your movement. Purchase a top, gloves, knee and leg warmers, socks, and neck tubes.
    2. Extremities
      When your core body temperature starts to drop, your extremities will begin to lose circulation and begin to lose heat. This means your clutch, brakes, and accelerator will become less responsive. Be sure to purchase quality warming gloves and leg warmers to make sure you stay in full control of your vehicle.
    3. Wind Chill
      Something that many people always overlook is the windchill. While the ambient temperature may not be so bad, the wind chill will easily make it feel twice as cold. For example, the temperature may be freezing at 32 degrees F, but if you travel 60 miles per hour on the highway, the wind chill will make it feel like it is close to 0 degrees F! Take a look at the weather forecast before you ride.

    When it comes to your safety, be wary of the weather and get the coverage that you need with the right motorcycle insurance. Contact the professionals at NorthStar Risk Management & Insurance Services, Inc. in Walnut Creek, California for all your commercial and personal insurance needs.
