Motorcycle Riding Safety Tips

Summer riding is a great way to get the most of your motorcycle. Enjoy warm days, clear skies, and the freedom to hit the road and just keep going. Chase after adrenaline rushes and seek those thrills.

Warm Weather Riding

As summer arrives, we’re all prepping to hit the road for some warm weather riding. There’s no better time to enjoy a long ride down backroads or a speedy dash down the freeway, but with the warmth comes dangers both minor and major for riders. Dehydration can affect riders of all skill levels, and there are a few pieces of equipment that can turn an unpleasant heat into a bearable bit of warmth. At Freedom Cycles, we know our customers are excited to get in the saddle of their motorcycles and hit the road, but taking a few moments to prepare for a hot day’s ride can mean the difference between thrill-injected fun and a lousy, tiring experience.

History of Honda Motorcycles

Honda motorcycles populate the roads of every major city. They’re the world’s most popular motorcycle manufacturer, soaring past competition on the race track and in market share. Not only does Honda excel in terms of volume of motorcycles produced, it also has some of the best built, longest-running bikes you’ll find anywhere. It’s a wonder how Honda went from a company founded in a small town on the southern coast of Japan to the biggest name in motorcycling.

Tips for Safe ATV Riding

For those who may be riding an ATV for the first time, or if you need a refresher on best practices, you should be prioritizing safety every time you hit the trails. To give you a jumpstart on some of the most important safety practices, Freedom Cycles has broken down our tips and tricks. But on top of all this, you’ll want to make sure you’re regularly taking your ATV to a professional mechanic for a checkup. When that time comes, schedule a service appointment with our Grandview, Missouri location. We proudly serve the areas of Kansas City, Independence, Overland Park, and Lee’s Summit, Missouri.

Motorcycle Helmets

There’s no more important piece of safety equipment for any motorcycle rider than a correctly fitted helmet. But finding the right helmet isn’t always as easy as we’d like. From motocross to touring to cruising, virtually every style of riding has a helmet best suited for its needs. On top of that, there are many styles and designs on the market, and it’s not always apparent which ones will offer enough protection but still look good. This brief guide is designed to show you some of the options available to you before you hit the market so that you can find the perfect helmet for your needs.
