Motorbike Rental Safety: What You Need to Know Before You Ride

Renting a motorbike can be an exhilarating experience, offering freedom to explore places at your own pace. However, before you hop on and hit the road, safety should always be your top priority. Whether you're an experienced rider or renting a motorbike for the first time, understanding the key safety tips is crucial for a smooth and enjoyable ride.

In this blog post, we'll walk you through the essential motorbike rental safety tips and provide answers to some frequently asked questions. At BikeSolve, your safety is our primary concern. That's why we encourage all riders to follow these guidelines for a secure and worry-free riding experience.

1. Choose the Right Motorbike for You The first step in ensuring safety when renting a motorbike is to choose a bike that suits your skill level, size, and comfort. If you're a beginner, opt for a smaller engine size, as it is easier to handle and control. If you have more experience, you might feel comfortable with a larger bike.

At BikeSolve, we offer a range of motorbikes, from beginner-friendly models to more powerful bikes for experienced riders. Make sure to test the bike's seat height, controls, and weight before making your choice.

Key Points to Consider:

Engine Size: Opt for a smaller engine if you're new to riding. Bike Weight: Ensure the bike isn't too heavy to maneuver comfortably. Seat Height: You should be able to place your feet flat on the ground while seated.

2. Inspect the Motorbike Thoroughly Before heading out, it's important to inspect the motorbike for any potential issues. This ensures that the vehicle is roadworthy and prevents breakdowns or accidents. Here are some key areas to check:

Tires: Make sure the tires are inflated properly and the tread is in good condition. Brakes: Test both the front and rear brakes to ensure they are responsive. Lights and Indicators: Check the headlights, taillights, and indicators to ensure they are working. Mirrors: Adjust the mirrors to your eye level for a clear rear view. Fluid Levels: Ensure that oil, coolant, and brake fluid levels are appropriate.

At BikeSolve, we inspect all motorbikes before renting them out, but it’s always a good idea to do a quick check yourself to double-check the bike’s condition.

3. Wear the Right Gear Wearing protective gear is non-negotiable when it comes to motorbike safety. Accidents can happen, even to the most cautious rider, so it's essential to be well-prepared. At BikeSolve, we provide helmets with every rental, but you should also consider wearing the following gear:

Helmet: Always wear a high-quality helmet that fits well. Helmets are the most critical piece of safety gear. Jacket and Gloves: A padded jacket and gloves can protect you from abrasions in case of a fall. Boots: Wear sturdy boots that cover your ankles for added protection. Pants: Jeans or specialized riding pants are a good option to protect your legs.

4. Familiarize Yourself with Local Traffic Laws Every region has its own set of traffic laws, and it’s essential to familiarize yourself with them before hitting the road. Ignorance of the law can lead to fines or, worse, accidents. Make sure you know the speed limits, helmet laws, and whether lane-splitting is allowed.

At BikeSolve, we provide our customers with a quick briefing on the local traffic laws of the area. Always ensure you're riding legally and safely within the regulations.

5. Plan Your Route and Stay Alert Before embarking on your journey, it's a good idea to plan your route in advance. Knowing where you're going will help you stay focused on the road, rather than being distracted by maps or GPS. Choose roads that you feel comfortable riding on, and avoid areas with heavy traffic if possible.

While riding, remain alert at all times. Keep an eye out for pedestrians, other vehicles, and potential hazards like potholes or debris. At BikeSolve, we recommend avoiding night rides unless you're familiar with the roads.

6. Ride Defensively When renting a motorbike, you must ride with caution and assume that other drivers may not see you. Motorcycles are smaller than cars and can easily get lost in a driver’s blind spot. Always keep a safe distance from other vehicles and avoid riding in blind spots.

Additionally, be mindful of sudden stops, lane changes, and other unpredictable moves from drivers around you. At BikeSolve, we encourage all riders to practice defensive driving to reduce the risk of accidents.

FAQs 1. Do I need a special license to rent a motorbike from BikeSolve? A: Yes, at BikeSolve, we require all riders to have a valid motorcycle license. This ensures that you have the necessary skills and experience to handle the bike safely.

2. What safety equipment is provided with the rental? A: We provide a high-quality helmet with every rental. However, we recommend that you bring your own protective gear, such as gloves, jackets, and boots, for additional safety.

3. What should I do in case of an emergency or accident? A: If you are involved in an accident, prioritize your safety and call for emergency services if necessary. Notify BikeSolve as soon as possible so we can assist you with the next steps.

4. What are the age requirements for renting a motorbike from BikeSolve? A: You must be at least 18 years old to rent a motorbike from BikeSolve, and possess a valid motorcycle license.

5. Can I rent a motorbike if I’m a beginner? A: Yes! At BikeSolve, we offer beginner-friendly motorbikes and can provide you with tips and guidance for a safe and enjoyable experience.

Conclusion Motorbike rental can be an exciting way to explore new places, but it’s important to prioritize safety before you ride. By following the tips outlined above—choosing the right bike, inspecting it thoroughly, wearing the appropriate gear, knowing local laws, and riding defensively—you can ensure a safer and more enjoyable trip.

At BikeSolve, your safety is our top priority. We’re here to provide you with the best rental experience, backed by well-maintained bikes, safety equipment, and expert guidance. So, whether you're an experienced rider or a beginner, you can enjoy the ride with peace of mind.

So I accidentally almost got into an argument on Twitter, and now I'm thinking about bad historical costuming tropes. Specifically, Action Hero Leather Pants.

See, I was light-heartedly pointing out the inaccuracies of the costumes in Black Sails, and someone came out of the woodwork to defend the show. The misunderstanding was that they thought I was dismissing the show just for its costumes, which I wasn't - I was simply pointing out that it can't entirely care about material history (meaning specifically physical objects/culture) if it treats its clothes like that.

But this person was slightly offended on behalf of their show - especially, quote, "And from a fan of OFMD, no less!" Which got me thinking - it's true! I can abide a lot more historical costuming inaccuracy from Our Flag than I can Black Sails or Vikings. And I don't think it's just because one has my blorbos in it. But really, when it comes down to it...

What is the difference between this and this?

Here's the thing. Leather pants in period dramas isn't new. You've got your Vikings, Tudors, Outlander, Pirates of the Caribbean, Once Upon a Time, Will, The Musketeers, even Shakespeare in Love - they love to shove people in leather and call it a day. But where does this come from?

Obviously we have the modern connotations. Modern leather clothes developed in a few subcultures: cowboys drew on Native American clothing. (Allegedly. This is a little beyond my purview, I haven't seen any solid evidence, and it sounds like the kind of fact that people repeat a lot but is based on an assumption. I wouldn't know, though.) Leather was used in some WWI and II uniforms.

But the big boom came in the mid-C20th in motorcycle, punk/goth, and gay subcultures, all intertwined with each other and the above. Motorcyclists wear leather as practical protective gear, and it gets picked up by rock and punk artists as a symbol of counterculture, and transferred to movie designs. It gets wrapped up in gay and kink communities, with even more countercultural and taboo meanings. By the late C20th, leather has entered mainstream fashion, but it still carries those references to goths, punks, BDSM, and motorbike gangs, to James Dean, Marlon Brando, and Mick Jagger. This is whence we get our Spikes and Dave Listers in 1980s/90s media, bad boys and working-class punks.

And some of the above "historical" design choices clearly build on these meanings. William Shakespeare is dressed in a black leather doublet to evoke the swaggering bad boy artist heartthrob, probably down on his luck. So is Kit Marlowe.

But the associations get a little fuzzier after that. Hook, with his eyeliner and jewellery, sure. King Henry, yeah, I see it. It's hideously ahistorical, but sure. But what about Jamie and Will and Ragnar, in their browns and shabby, battle-ready chic? Well, here we get the other strain of Bad Period Drama Leather.

See, designers like to point to history, but it's just not true. Leather armour, especially in the western/European world, is very, very rare, and not just because it decays faster than metal. (Yes, even in ancient Greece/Rome, despite many articles claiming that as the start of the leather armour trend!) It simply wasn't used a lot, because it's frankly useless at defending the body compared to metal. Leather was used as a backing for some splint armour pieces, and for belts, sheathes, and buckles, but it simply wasn't worn like the costumes above. It's heavy, uncomfortable, and hard to repair - it's simply not practical for a garment when you have perfectly comfortable, insulating, and widely available linen, wool, and cotton!

As far as I can see, the real influence on leather in period dramas is fantasy. Fantasy media has proliferated the idea of leather armour as the lightweight choice for rangers, elves, and rogues, a natural, quiet, flexible material, less flashy or restrictive than metal. And it is cheaper for a costume department to make, and easier for an actor to wear on set. It's in Dungeons and Dragons and Lord of the Rings, King Arthur, Runescape, and World of Warcraft.

And I think this is how we get to characters like Ragnar and Vane. This idea of leather as practical gear and light armour, it's fantasy, but it has this lineage, behind which sits cowboy chaps and bomber/flight jackets. It's usually brown compared to the punk bad boy's black, less shiny, and more often piecemeal or decorated. In fact, there's a great distinction between the two Period Leather Modes within the same piece of media: Robin Hood (2006)! Compare the brooding, fascist-coded villain Guy of Gisborne with the shabby, bow-wielding, forest-dwelling Robin:

So, back to the original question: What's the difference between Charles Vane in Black Sails, and Edward Teach in Our Flag Means Death?

Simply put, it's intention. There is nothing intentional about Vane's leather in Black Sails. It's not the only leather in the show, and it only says what all shabby period leather says, relying on the same tropes as fantasy armour: he's a bad boy and a fighter in workaday leather, poor, flexible, and practical. None of these connotations are based in reality or history, and they've been done countless times before. It's boring design, neither historically accurate nor particularly creative, but much the same as all the other shabby chic fighters on our screens. He has a broad lineage in Lord of the Rings and Pirates of the Caribbean and such, but that's it.

In Our Flag, however, the lineage is much, much more intentional. Ed is a direct homage to Mad Max, the costuming in which is both practical (Max is an ex-cop and road warrior), and draws on punk and kink designs to evoke a counterculture gone mad to the point of social breakdown, exploiting the thrill of the taboo to frighten and titillate the audience.

In particular, Ed is styled after Max in the second movie, having lost his family, been badly injured, and watched the world turn into an apocalypse. He's a broken man, withdrawn, violent, and deliberately cutting himself off from others to avoid getting hurt again. The plot of Mad Max 2 is him learning to open up and help others, making himself vulnerable to more loss, but more human in the process.

This ties directly into the themes of Our Flag - it's a deliberate intertext. Ed's emotional journey is also one from isolation and pain to vulnerability, community, and love. Mad Max (intentionally and unintentionally) explores themes of masculinity, violence, and power, while Max has become simplified in the popular imagination as a stoic, badass action hero rather than the more complex character he is, struggling with loss and humanity. Similarly, Our Flag explores masculinity, both textually (Stede is trying to build a less abusive pirate culture) and metatextually (the show champions complex, banal, and tender masculinities, especially when we're used to only seeing pirates in either gritty action movies or childish comedies).

Our Flag also draws on the specific countercultures of motorcycles, rockers, and gay/BDSM culture in its design and themes. Naturally, in such a queer show, one can't help but make the connection between leather pirates and leather daddies, and the design certainly nods at this, with its vests and studs. I always think about this guy, with his flat cap so reminiscient of gay leather fashions.

More overtly, though, Blackbeard and his crew are styled as both violent gangsters and countercultural rockstars. They rove the seas like a bikie gang, free and violent, and are seen as icons, bad boys and celebrities. Other pirates revere Blackbeard and wish they could be on his crew, while civilians are awed by his reputation, desperate for juicy, gory details.

This isn't all of why I like the costuming in Our Flag Means Death (especially season 1). Stede's outfits are by no means accurate, but they're a lot more accurate than most pirate media, and they're bright and colourful, with accurate and delightful silks, lace, velvets, and brocades, and lovely, puffy skirts on his jackets. Many of the Revenge crew wear recognisable sailor's trousers, and practical but bright, varied gear that easily conveys personality and flair. There is a surprising dedication to little details, like changing Ed's trousers to fall-fronts for a historical feel, Izzy's puffy sleeves, the handmade fringe on Lucius's red jacket, or the increasing absurdity of navy uniform cuffs between Nigel and Chauncey.

A really big one is the fact that they don't shy away from historical footwear! In almost every example above, we see the period drama's obsession with putting men in skinny jeans and bucket-top boots, but not only does Stede wear his little red-heeled shoes with stockings, but most of his crew, and the ordinary people of Barbados, wear low boots or pumps, and even rough, masculine characters like Pete wear knee breeches and bright colours. It's inaccurate, but at least it's a new kind of inaccuracy, that builds much more on actual historical fashions, and eschews the shortcuts of other, grittier period dramas in favour of colour and personality.

But also. At least it fucking says something with its leather.
