What is it about motorcycles in economically developing foreign countries around the world? Maybe it’s that motorcycles have always been a cheap form of transportation as well as the fact that there are many motorcycle enthusiasts who love nothing more than to carry their motorcycle helmet bags with them as they travel on their open air bike.
Motorcycles have a great history that includes many myths and subcultures that have become lifestyles for many. The most prized possession of any Harley Biker is their head scarfs, leather jackets and motorcycle helmet bags. The jacket in one hand and the bag in the other. Different motorcycles require different helmets. Caf racers wear a classic helmet. Mod racers race at high speeds with bright, vibrant and colorful helmets on their heads, but one thing remains the same, they have their matching motorcycle helmet bags. Rockers are also known for their crazy outrageous helmets that often match their helmet bags, saddlebag and the design on their bikes. Every biker has his or her own style overall creating a unique subculture.
Every motorcycle society and group has its very own color and design. Some groups are known for exclusively riding a certain type of bike, such as Harley groups. They exclusively use Harley helmets, motorcycle helmet bags, jacket, boots and vest all the way to the dealership keychain they got when they bought the bike. Similarly BMW MOA members boast using nothing but BMW bikes, helmets and of course motorcycle helmet bags. While each group has it’s own unique reason for gathering they all love their bikes. Sometimes groups gather for social reasons while for others it’s about raising money. Some are just in it for the thrill they get while racing a motorcycle at high speeds.
Some groups are more organized and influential in the motorcycle world. They all group themselves in able to build a force to be reckoned with politically and socially. Some groups even lobby for a more biker-friendly legislation that would create better traffic, safety and manufacturing laws. Each of these special groups carry with them a special insignia and trademark that they plaster on all of their gear, ranging from helmets and motorcycle helmet bags to jackets and even their bikes. In order to form a more influential group and gain clout these groups form federations and confederations. These groups not only travel, but also politically lobby. Motorcycle clubs have many reasons for forming, some for reasons of touring and casually riding, all the way to extreme sports riding and stunt-riding. And of course every club and group proudly sports their own motorcycles, helmets and motorcycle helmet bags. These accessories are all important to every rider regardless of group. Some motorcycle groups are even outlawed for reasons such as breaking traffic laws and typical misdemeanors. Most of these groups still remain the minority compared to the more respected honest motorcycle gangs.
Finally, it would be improper to fail to mention that the ladies have their own motorcycling subgroups. These clubs – dedicated to and required as membership being a woman – focus on more feminine apparel. These particular bikers tend to wear jackets, boots, pants and other clothes that emphasize their shape and sexiness. Besides their clothing, this particular subgroup brings to the biker mythology more ‘feminine color’ in the form of pink shaded helmets, motorcycle helmet bags and even saddlebags.
