The motorbike has been used for more than a century and in its pure form and through some legendary manufacturers.
Clothing
From top to toe, Autoparts has a superb range of motorcycle attire to keep you kitted out come rain or shine. We have a range of BMW helmets which will offer both high-level protection against weather conditions or foreign objects, and excellent visibility and versatility, including the Genuine BMW System 7 Carbon Motorcycle Helmet.
For protecting the rest of the body, Autoparts features several hard-wearing trousers, so get yourself a matching jacket and you're ready to go!
Boots are another key part of motorbiking wear and in this department Autoparts also has you covered, from BMW’s all-round touring boots to their stylish Gravel Urban Enduro boots formed of hydrophobic cowhide and GORE-TEX material which is lightweight and breathable.
Kit to keep handy
Storage
For when your bike is sitting idle, and if you don’t have a garage or a shed large enough to keep a motorbike inside, ensure outdoor protection for your cherished two wheels with a water-resistant bike blanket from Polco.
Its durable water-resistant polyester material gives superior weather protection, while its elasticated hems give a secure fit over and around the bike. Find it here.
Tyre maintenance
Strong, good quality tyres are vital to your bike’s roadworthiness, so having the tools to check their condition is equally important. 12-volt, easily stored and with a highly readable LCD display, the Michelin compressor and tyre inflator is a perfect tool for using both in advance of travel or for making adjustments to tyre pressure at a stop while in transit.
Pump it up with this humble tool.

Long journey care Keen motorcyclist Francine Grimley, Parts Data Manager at Arnold Clark, spoke to Autoparts back in 2021 about how to keep your bike in best condition ahead of any journey, but especially what to look out for on those longer journeys. These are her top tips:
Francine says: ‘Check your lights, your indicators, and especially before faster driving like on motorways, check your tyres have at least 1.0mm tread, and aren’t shiny on the curves, as this means they are worn. Tyre safety is so important because your bike needs to grip the road and find its centre of gravity when you corner.’
