As winter's grip loosens and nature starts to awaken, spring ushers in a new season of adventure for motorcycle enthusiasts. This time of year is perfect for revving up your engine and hitting the open road, as the blossoming landscapes and milder temperatures create an ideal backdrop for memorable rides. In this blog post, we'll explore the joys of spring motorcycle riding and share a few tips to enhance your experience.
Nature's Beauty Unfolds
Spring is a season of rebirth, with flowers blooming and trees regaining their lush foliage. Riding through this natural beauty, you'll be captivated by the vibrant colors and scents, making for a truly immersive experience. Be sure to plan routes that showcase the best of spring's scenery, such as winding roads through forests or along coastlines.
Perfect Riding Weather
Say goodbye to winter's chill and hello to more comfortable temperatures. Spring's mild weather means you can shed those bulky layers, making it easier to maneuver and enjoy your ride. However, remember that spring can be unpredictable, so it's essential to prepare for occasional rain showers by carrying waterproof gear.
Longer Days, More Riding Time
With the arrival of daylight saving time, you'll have more daylight hours to spend on your motorcycle. Longer days allow for extended rides and more opportunities to explore new destinations or revisit favorite spots.
A Time for Maintenance and Gear Checks
Spring is a great time to give your motorcycle some TLC after a long winter. Perform essential maintenance tasks, such as checking tire pressure, oil levels, and brake functionality, to ensure your ride is safe and smooth. Additionally, take this time to inspect your gear, replace worn items, and invest in any necessary upgrades.
The Social Aspect
As the weather warms up, more riders appear, making it an excellent opportunity to connect with fellow enthusiasts. Join local riding groups, participate in charity rides, or simply strike up conversations at popular biker hangouts. Building a sense of camaraderie and sharing experiences can enhance the joy of motorcycle riding.
Safety First
With more riders and potentially unpredictable weather, spring riding requires vigilance and a focus on safety. Stay alert for potential hazards such as potholes, wet leaves, or gravel, and practice defensive riding techniques to minimize risks.
In conclusion, spring is a fantastic season to embrace the joys of motorcycle riding. With nature's beauty unfolding, perfect riding weather, and longer days, there's no better time to hit the road and create lasting memories. Stay safe, maintain your motorcycle, and cherish the camaraderie among fellow riders as you welcome the spring season on two wheels.

30+ Years of Riding Strong. What Our New Logo Really Means
Our 30th Anniversary Logo isn’t just about Eagle Leather — it’s about honoring the riders who’ve kept us rolling since 1995. Every element reflects the...
These do a pretty good job at letting you manipulate your phone or GPS using normal gloves. Only advice I have is to read the instructions prior to putting them on, I didn't and the first ones fell off. I followed the instructions and they work just fine. Crazy how that works. 🤣
I have a number of riding jeans and leggings. However, those are all quite thick and unfortunately stiff not counting the armor. A stop at Eagle Leather in Lakewood WA for other reasons led me to discover these leggings. They not only fit better but are more flexible and thus comfortable while riding. As a result I look less like a stuffed toy but more like myself. There is a huge selection of gear at this store and a range of styles and prices to match a budget.
A quality product. Sharp loking and built to provide some serious protection. I love this jacket!. The thermal liner keeps me toasty on chilly rides. The sip open vents add circulation and cooling when the day starts to warm up. Perfect fit, and being tall the sleeves are a great fit.(6'6").
Im impressed...
Thank you, Boyd! We’re thrilled to hear how much you love your new jacket and that it’s delivering on both comfort and protection. It’s great to know the fit and sleeve length work perfectly for you—especially for taller riders. The thermal liner and vents really do make it a year-round favorite. We appreciate your feedback and your enthusiasm—ride safe and enjoy every mile!
I bought a similar pair about 15 years ago and they have help up really well. These are great boots, heavy duty leather and made well.A great buy for the money.
Thank you, Dino! We’re glad to hear you’re enjoying your new boots and that your last pair held up so well over the years. It’s great to know the quality and craftsmanship continue to impress—heavy-duty gear built to last is what we’re all about. We appreciate your support and hope these serve you just as well for the next 15 years. Ride safe!
