Commuting on your motorcycle!

Let's be honest, if you need to look ultra-smart for a work meeting then you wouldn't automatically ride to work - but it is much more convenient than it ever has been before - and it's cheaper. Yes, you will outlay on a good jacket and the appropriate kit, but it is still cheaper than a car and remember that it's cheaper to fill a motorcycle than a car! It is also quicker! It has been reported that the average cost to fill a car with petrol has hit £100 for the first time. Let's take a look at some great commuter options for every budget - here are some examples of the ideal kit for commuting:

Oxford Rainseal

We are in Great Britain - not renowned for the lack of rain. If you are commuting then you need to protect yourself (and your work clothes) from the rain. The Oxford Rainseal range offers versatility with one-piece suits, or jackets and trousers, all designed to be worn over your kit. Available in a choice of colours - they are lightweight and easy to store but keep you bone dry. It also doesn't break the bank.

Cardo Spirit HD

Keep connected on the commute with a good intercom. Cardo offer a fantastic range - the Cardo communication systems offer clear as a bell phone calls with the option to listen to music, podcasts and directions.

OF159 HD Chain Lock

Depending on where you park your bike, you will need some security and what better than the Oxford OF159 HD Chain Lock . It measures 1.5M and the double locking padlock doubles as a disc lock - ideal for a commuter!

HJC I90 Motorcycle Helmet

The HJC I90 modular motorcycle helmet offers dual P/J homologation for added comfort and versatility. IT is ultra-comfortable and is ready for the SMART HJC Bluetooth system (sold separately) It also features an inner sun visor, loads more great features and is available in a choice of colours and designs .

BKS Tornado WP Motorcycle Boot

The beauty of the BKS Tornado WP boots is that they offer a weatherproof membrane to keep your feet dry, and are extremely comfortable for both on and off the bike, but they look so smart they can double as a work boot without having to change your boots should you wish not to! Available in a choice of colours they are also a bargain!

A jacket for the larger budget - but with J&S Accessories you have a reduction! Stay bone dry, safe and extremely comfortable in all conditions with the Dainese Dolomiti Gore-Tex jacket .
