Hobbies are a nice way of escaping the daily grind and stress. We are constantly bombarded with the idea that we are living too quickly but no real solutions are given to take away the stress. The quest to find a hobby is a personal journey of note but potentially it could lead to a new found passion. The hobby could be spending time outdoors, restoring a classic car or building the model car, the possibilities are endless. It boils down to how much time and money you are willing to invest in the hobby.

Having a motorcycle and commuting to work or by spending time off-road can be seen as a hobby. I must admit the picture of a breakfast run on a sunny weekend normally captures my attention instantly. It sends a message of being in a relaxed enviroment and I imagine many people feel the need to join the bike riders. May it be Suzuki, Yamaha or Harley Davidson motorcycles; the picture is definitely worth more than a thousand words.

I have noticed that the motor cycle enthusiasts in general enjoy spending  money on the purchase of riding accessories (helmets, boots, gloves and racing leathers). Suomy helmets, Shark helmets and Airoh helmets are popular as are most Arlen Ness, Alpine Stars products. Also one really cannot put a price on a safer riding experience.


Off road motorcycling is another activity for those who crave adrenaline and is quite a popular hobby. It has its own challenges but the popularity of motocross is ensuring that more families are involved. Fox Racing and Thor products are very popular through the association with motocross.

Whether you are a recreational rider or a serious track day rider, the accessories will either hamper or add to your riding experience.
