How to Find the Perfectly Sized Helmet for Motorcycles & Dirt Bikes

Image
A properly fitting helmet is one of the most important items you can purchase to keep yourself safe while riding a motorcycle or dirt bike. Upon first shopping the helmets at our Southwest Missouri Powersports dealership in Lebanon, MO , you may be tempted to begin looking for the most attractive and least expensive options.  We have plenty of those for you to choose from at LSK Lebanon , so no worries there, but those are not the most important factors for finding the right helmet. In the end, it won't matter what it looks like as long as it keeps you safe, which all boils down to that helmet fitting as perfectly as possible.  An improperly fitting helmet can put you at risk instead of protecting you as it should. The best fit should feel comfortable and allow you to safely maneuver the vehicle. When a helmet is too big it could come off in a crash or move around while riding and impair your vision. A helmet that is too small can also make it harder to see and the discomfor

For anyone deciding to try their hand at riding a dirt bike, it's very important to have the proper gear to keep yourself safe out on the course. Our Powersports dealership in Lebanon, Missouri  is happy to help you find the perfect bike and we also want to make sure you get the proper gear needed as well.  You can get many of those items from us at LSK Lebanon . Deciding exactly what to get first can be confusing with so much to choose from. Here are some tips to make sure you get what is needed to stay both comfortable and safe out there.  Motocross Boots Lots of riders concentrate on the jerseys and pants first, but protective gear should be your initial focus.

A lot of traveling happens over a holiday. Around our Southern Missouri Powersports & marine dealership in Lebanon , that traveling happens both on the road and on the water.  Last week we shared some motorcycle safety tips to keep in mind over the 4th of July. (Most of those tips work equally well for car trips!) Today LSK Lebanon is focusing our safety tips at all of you getting out on the lake over the holiday.  Don't Drink & Drive This is an obvious safety tip but, just like we said last week, one worth a reminder.
