Ok, deadly sins is probably over-selling it a little, but I've never been averse to a little clickbait. However, having said that, I've somehow managed to relate all of The Seven Deadly Sins to motorcycling. I'll admit that a couple of them are a bit tenuous, but it's a little bit of fun with a sprinkling of serious points. How many of the sins are you guilty of, dear reader?

Ah, leathers. The defining item of a motorcyclist's protective gear. Whether you're out for a ride on a sunny Sunday afternoon on a Fireblade, tackling Craners on a Panigale, or competing in MotoGP, you'll be wearing a set of leathers. They come as a one-piece or two-piece, available in different types of leather, with different armour, and in a range of colours—there's not always black, you know.

Gloves are one of the most important pieces in your protection arsenal. They need to protect your palms, knuckles, fingers and wrists whilst still allowing enough range of motion to operate your motorcycle, and be comfortable enough to wear all day. Always wear gloves.
