Am I Required to Wear a Motorcycle Helmet?


Many who ride motorcycles always wear their helmet. But it’s a rare drive where you don’t see someone who is choosing not to wear a motorcycle helmet. Are they crazy? What are the reasons to wear a helmet?

Why would anyone in their right mind not wear a motorcycle helmet? There are many reasons. Some feel they cannot afford one. Others where it is not the law choose not to because they can. Many argue they like the freedom of choice.

There are also horror stories about times that helmets are said to have done more harm that good, and lead to injury or death. Some riders feel there are safer without wearing a motorcycle helmet.

Antique Motorcycle Club “Swap meet”

Every year In a Little Town in New York called Ridge, On a Big Sandbar known as Long Island, Hundreds of Bikers who have only Antique Motorcycles on their minds. Gather to attend The Big Sandbar Chapter of The Antique Motorcycle Club of America, Inc’s annual “Winter Blues Swap meet” at the Ridge Firehouse. As I entered I was greeted by two lovely Lady’s. I told them who I was and they where happy to tell me about the Big Sandbar Chapter of the AMCA. I was told how the AMCA considers any Motorcycle 35 years or older an Antique.

Being I am a few years older then 35 and not feeling anything like an Antique, I’m thinking maybe it should be moved up to like 55 years an older! After all they say 50 is the new 30!

Find Out How You Achieve Motorcycle Helmet Comfort


If you’re a rider who likes to head out for several hours, you know that the wrong helmet fit can make that ride seem much longer, and much less fun. This is what makes motorcycle helmet comfort so important.

When you’re wearing a helmet that fits correctly, you will immediately see a difference in your comfort on a ride. It may take some time, but the right fitting helmet will be even more comfortable than not wearing a helmet.

There are many motorcycle riders who say that no helmet will ever be comfortable for them. They believe that comfort is only found without a helmet, and they prefer to ride without one.

Seized Motorcycles – Discover the best place to buy seized motorcycles


Looking for a quality motorcycle, but can’t afford a new one, and reliability is very important to you.  Why not consider buying a seized motorcycle from an online auction such as Gov-Auctions.com.  These motorcycles have often been repossessed and are practically new, but with a much smaller price tag.  How does $100 or less sound?

Government auctions are usually the best place to find these seized motorcycles.  You can do some research on the internet.  A site like Gov-auctions.com will be able to give you a good idea of what is available.  Or you could ask your local dealer where and when the next auction will be, but be careful not to get roped into buying from their dealership as this usually proves to be much more expensive because they still need to make money on the sale.

Maintenance Free Motorcycle Battery or Conventional?


There are two main types of motorcycle batteries ” conventional and maintenance free.

Conventional

Conventional batteries require you to regularly check the electrolyte levels. You can usually see a minimum level line and a maximum level line. You must add distilled water to keep your conventional batteries levels are between these lines. You have easy access to the cell compartments with this type of battery so that you can maintain it easily. Flooded electrolyte is the other main component to the conventional battery, and safety precautions need to be taken when topping this up. If these levels get too low, the plates are exposed to the air and the battery will get damaged.The conventional battery costs less than the maintenance free battery.

Hate Being A Risk, Take these Precautions

Motorcycle insurance is considered “high risk” for factors you may not think about everyday. Remove the stereotype about a typical biker with long hair and a cutthroat and angry attitude. No matter what age, size, or type of personality, motor bikes are dangerous and that’s the primary reason they are labeled “high risk.”

People love the thrill and adrenaline rush of cruising at high speeds down a highway with only two wheels supporting your weight. They love the feeling of the air crashing against the side of their face. However, too often people go too fast and lose control of their bike. The accidents are tragic and often deadly.
