When a little touch up needs to be done to your leather jacket, taking it to the cleaners can be quite frustrating. So instead just find a cloth that is very gentle to the touch and a spray cleaner that doesn’t contain chemical substances and wipe your jacket down. This will help in getting all the dust off of the jackets outer surface.
For those that own leather processed jackets you can simply use a gentle soap and water to clean your jacket. When you are doing this though ensure that you use a gentle cloth as it could damage the outer layer of the leather.
Brushed leather is hard to come by, but when you do cleaning it can be done with the use of a mohair brush or a shoe brush like the old fashioned kind. By using either one of these tools you should have the ability to get good results every time.
If you’ve noticed that your jacket has salt spots on it you will quickly want to clean them off with the use of clean water. Avoid attempting to clean salt spots away with dirty or soapy water, as it will just smear things around.
Everyone drips stuff on their clothing every once and a while, but it can be more difficult to get drippings off of a leather jacket then it is to get out of a cotton shirt. If you notice that you’ve dripped something on to the leather jacket quickly remove the substance with a gentle brush and then clean the surface with a mild soap and warm water.
Some things that you should avoid using on your leather jacket are any waxes, silicones, and any leather preparations. Also avoid cleaning the jacket with anything that contains an alcohol substance, turpentine substance, or mineral spirits as these can severely destroy the leather jacket.
A leather motorcycle jacket can be a true priced possession for any motorcyclist and taking care of your leather jacket should be done just as much as you take care of your motorcycle. If you feel there is something you can handle on your own, don’t try. Take your leather jacket to someone who can do it without chancing your leather jacket from being destroyed.
Practice your emergency maneuvers and your low-speed turns. It is usually best to find an isolated spot like an empty parking lot or a little-used service road to use as your practice spot. When a critical situation comes up on the road is not the time to be ‘learning how’ to swerve out of the way. You frequently have less than a second to make a decision ’swerve or brake’, make the wrong decision or execute it incorrectly, and you may not have the opportunity to learn from your mistake. 
Don’t ever underestimate the sexiness of a man wearing leather. At least that’s what my mother always told me. She also used to love to tell me the story about how she met my father. She worked a pizza restaurant near the air force base where my father was stationed. One night she said she saw a gorgeous man wearing a

However, after choosing bags, such as leather saddlebags, we must then determine what to put inside those bags. Here are some categories of gear that you should stuff into your 
Several states now offer free courses for both novice and experienced riders. These courses are invaluable to the young or new rider just starting out, as they teach not only riding technique and the mechanics of basic motorcycle operation but, most importantly, proper safety and emergency procedures. It is vitally important that you have some sort of training on how to handle unexpected occurrences on the road before they occur, and that is what many of these courses teach. In our opinion, these courses are as important for the new rider as any other proper safety gear, such as a good 
Historically motorcyclists have been characterized as being out-laws. All you had to do was to don a leather jacket and a do-rag, and you would have folks crossing to the other side of the street to avoid you, all the while casting sideward glances in your direction. Of course Hollywood has done much to reinforce this perception over the years. Who could forget Hopper and Fonda flouting law, order, and authority in “Easy Rider”.
