Bank Repossessed Motorcycles - Why Is It The Best Choice

By Christopher Mah

Currently, the trend of buying motor vehicles is to buy from the bank sezied car auction. And the most popular ones are the bank repossessed motorcycles. In fact, not a lot of people know what all the jazz about repo is about. Repo is an abbreviation for repossessed and it means property that has been repossessed by the banks or other financial institution.

In fact, properties like houses and motor vehicles can be repossessed by the government. This usually happens when the initial owner do not have the capacity to meet the financial obligation of the agreed repayment terms. In this case, the loaning organization will be left with no choice but to repossess the property and auction it at online seized car auction sites. The reason why they are doing this is that they want to recoup the remaining balance.

Lately, the repo concept has been receiving overwhelming response from the public. In fact, many people are logging on to these online seized car auction sites to look for their dream car. Not only will they find numerous kinds of models, but they will also get their dream car at a great bargain. It is a matter of fact that these repossessed motorcycles may not be brand new, but they are still in very good condition and you simply won't be disappointed with such repossessed motor vehicles.

All repossessed motorcycles comes from two sources: From defaulting initial purchases and from assets seized by the police for criminal investigation. Regardless of where the repossessed motorcycles come from, you are assured a good price that you will be satisfied with. Most people look for repossessed motorcycles on the newspaper and media but there is actually one perfect place to find your dream motorcycle. That is the internet. With repossessed motor vehicles gaining popularity, many seized car auction sites have been set up online. So with the click of a button, you can actually find your dream motorcycle that may just suit your wish list.

I would advise you to keep a lookout for these repossessed motorcycles for a long period. The reason is that, if you do not do so, your dream motorcycle will probably be snatched up by other enthusiasts. These repossessed motorcycles come in fast and go out fast, hence you must have the patient to hang around the auction sites and wait for the perfect opportunity to snatch it up. Nevertheless, you may never get what you want this week but chances are you will be able to find your dream motorcycle the next week. Just stick to it and you will definitely get what you want. - 30329

Head Down The Road In Your Harley Clothing

By Jill Sprouse

Harley clothing is the ultimate Harley accessory, especially if you have your Harley decked out. Offering a full line of leather jackets, t-shirts, buckles, hats, belts, boots and helmets, you have no reason not to accessorize to the max.

Standard Harley attire is, at a minimum, a good pair of Harley boots, a logo t-shirt, and, of course, the leather jacket. But, most riders don't consider the most important Harley clothing of all-the helmet. Don't take off speeding down the road without adequate protection.

A half helmet is a good choice if you feel confined behind a full helmet. The draw backs to the half helmet model are that it provides no protection for your face. The helmet itself provides the maximum protection for your head because comes with chrome plating for the ultimate protection. But, if you are looking to protect your face from dirt, rocks and bugs, then the standard modular helmet with a face shield is your baby.

If your budget will allow, spend the money and get the Metal Warrior GP Tech Full Face motorcycle helmet. Standard equipment on this Kevlar helmet includes an Integrated Ventilation System. This scratch proof Harley helmet is guaranteed not to scratch and, as an added bonus, it's fog resistant too. But, hold on to your wallet, and remember that you get what you pay for, this helmet is going to cost around $600.00. If you can't afford the Cadillac of helmets, at least get something that will protect your head in a hard fall. A stock half helmet only costs around $69.00. Get it, save your money, and upgrade.

The standard Harley Davidson t-shirt is going to cost about fifty dollars. I know, you are thinking that's pretty expensive for a t-shirt. But, most cheap t-shirts that you buy for the standard $9.99 are made of 100% cotton and don't wear well at all. Consider a t-shirt that won't fade in the sun, because of the anti-microbial agents, and, one that is wrinkle free. Bingo. That's a Harley shirt. - 30329

Selecting the Correct Options for Your Motorcycle Insurance Quotes

By John Bellafonte

Finding the right motorcycle insurance online is actually very easy and takes almost no time at all. There are three different kinds, just like car insurance: liability, comprehensive and collision. Depending on which type is chosen, the coverage will not only extend to accidents and vehicle damage, but to bodily injury as well.

Buying motorcycle insurance can turn out to be a pleasant experience if done properly. While it is an absolute necessity if you own one, getting the right policy can be as easy as calling your current provider on the phone. Many will offer a discount if you choose them as you already have a motor vehicle policy in existence, making their paperwork that much easier.

Be sure that when adding a motorcycle to an existing policy, that coverage is just as complete as if it were coming from a single policy from a different provider. While a discount may look inviting, the lack of coverage if it is ever needed will not be so pleasant. Motorcycle insurance is a very specific type, so make sure that the current provider has all the bells and whistles for the price being paid.

Replacement cost of the motorcycle itself is one major factor when choosing the right coverage. This is particularly true if the motorcycle in an antique or classic. While the premiums for these motorcycles may be higher than the average bike, it is well worth it if the need arises to replace one.

Getting the right quote means asking different companies what they offer and finding out what's covered. The research can be done either online or by phone but the internet will generally prove to give faster and cheaper results. Several online insurance companies offer free quotes and will provide a list of options specifically for motorcycles, so the type of quote you receive can be pretty comprehensive.

Take the time to figure out exactly what type of coverage is needed for your particular motorcycle and keep in mind the state required minimums as well. A low price may be attractive, but this should not be the deciding factor. The proper coverage at an affordable rate should be the ultimate goal in the search for insurance.

While many providers offer discounted rates on certain policies, there is another way to get even lower cost motorcycle insurance without sacrificing coverage. By taking a motorcycle safety course and passing it, a discount will be applied to the policy by most providers. This takes very little time and will help lower the monthly premium cost. This can be quite beneficial to both the rider and the insurance company.

Research the possibility of other discounts as well on each provider's website. Many will offer safe driver and multiple vehicle discounts for long standing policy holders if they happen to be your current vehicle insurance company. The goal is to get the most coverage on your motorcycle insurance policy for the lowest price without sacrificing quality or service from any provider. - 30329

Motorcycle Riding Tips For Women

By Tomaz Desbike

As the main safety aspect is concerned, motorcycle jackets for two genders show very little differences. Also, it would be a prejudice statement to say that women ride bikes any slower than men.

There are many beginning motorcycle riders confused on the kind of motorcycle jacket is needed in order to enjoy the fun of this exciting vehicle. For a lady rider it is a wise thing to spend some money to buy a good woman's motorcycle jacket.

Before buying a woman's motorcycle jacket, you should make sure you test the quality of the seams of the jacket. If there is evidence of a stitch being dropped here and there at intervals in your motorcycle jacket, then the jacket that you hold in your hand is a poor quality product.

The seams must be uniform through out of the whole jacket. However, because the motorcyclist is relying on the motorcycle jacket to protect against injuries, to tolerate poor quality of the stitching work is simply unacceptable.

The second thing that ladies riders must be concern about, before buying motorcycle jacket is the material of the jacket. For many years, leather has been used for protection when bikers ride their motorcycles. So, I think ladies riders should consider to use motorcycle jacket that is made from leather materials. There are many motorcycle jackets for woman that are made from leather on the market place, but you need to be searching out the one suitable for you.

Remember your styles. It is preferable that the woman motorcycle jacket you purchase is versatile, and can be worn on a bike or as the ultimate fashion clothing. The leather jacket for women may be more clean cut to show her curves. Many jackets like that are available for women. The types of racing jackets are also available for women. Ladies Riders must remember though that these motorcycle jackets are primarily for protection and are not just a fashion statement. - 30329

Is America Still America Since 9/11 ?

By L.J. James

On 9/11/01 America was scared. We had for only the 2nd time in our history, taken a real hit. This one was not a shot to the body like the one we had taken on December 7th, 1941. This was a Punch in the face. Our collective noses were bleeding. Americans were terrified. The whole country had been injured.

Then out of the smoke and darkness, our Government stepped forward and said sign this paper and We will keep you safe! Americans did not look at the paper because they were scared. Nobody thought of the consequences. All we wanted was to feel safe again. No one thought twice when President Bush signed into law The Patriot Act on October 26, 2001. The contrived acronym stands for Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001.

Eventually the smoke cleared, we wiped the blood from our noses, and the fear subsided. We started getting back into our normal routines, although the horror of 9-11 had been permanently etched upon our minds, engraved into our souls.

In 2002, George W signed the "Homeland Security Act" and created the United States Department of Homeland Security. With 9-11 behind us, freedom loving Americans began to wonder if the US Government was using 9-11 as an excuse to infringe upon our constitutional rights. People began to question if, in our state of panic, we'd given away the very rights and freedoms that make America, America! When the Act was first signed, it was suppose to "sunset" by the year 2005. Instead, George W made the Act permanent by signing it into law in 2006.

Now the Government had virtually unlimited power to do whatever it wanted under the disguise of keeping us safe! In our moment of weakness, We had willingly signed away our constitutional right to privacy, our protections against illegal search and seizure? The law is very far reaching and has been criticized as being a threat to our most basic liberties

I just think about the hundreds of thousands of lives that have been sacrificed to protect the very rights the so called "Patriot Act" has taken away. Just the thought makes me sick. It's an affront to every American Soldier who has fought, been injured, or died to protect these rights for all American Citizens.

Soon after the Act was signed into law, we began seeing the Government use these powers to monitor United States Citizen's phone logs, Internet traffic records, and bank and credit information. The FBI and other Government Agencies are abusing their newly expanded powers to investigate US Citizens who may or may not be involved in Criminal Activity. In fact, there is solid evidence that certain departments of the US Government and law enforcement are actually using the powers granted to them to stop terrorism to actually "fish" for criminals. As time has passed, more and more groups and individuals are coming forward to complain about the abuses and to demand an end to the US Patriot Act. The governments continued response is, they need the powers to keep us safe.

On November 5, 2009 an Army Psychiatrist opens fire on an Army base killing 12 people and wounding 31. We later learn that the government had been monitoring this person and had knowledge that he was in communication with known terrorists, yet they elected to do nothing.

On December 25th 2009, a Man boarded a plane heading to Detroit tries to ignite a bomb. Luckily, he was stopped by passengers. Again, the Patriot Act did not ensure our safety.

Since the Patriot Act was signed into law, it's obvious that even though We have given up our freedoms in the name of Safety, nothing had changed. We are no safer then we were on September 10th 2001. All that has Changed is we've lost the basic Freedoms guaranteed by the United States Constitution.

Today, it appears that the US Government is using the US Patriot Act as a way to ferret out would be criminals, but what about tomorrow? Since 2001, this great nation has been in constant "Crisis". We had the Financial Crisis, Housing Crisis, Credit Crisis, and we are now in a Health Care Crisis. Seems like there is nothing better than a good Crisis to keep Americans from thinking about De-Industrialization, Inflation, the rise in fuel prices, Joblessness, and the coming consequences of our tremendous debt.

Does anyone remember the Terrorism threat of the late 60's & 70's? What about the Civil Rights Activists and Anti-War Activists? I bet if the Government had the technology and the powers they have today, they could have nipped those movements in the bud.

Has anyone ever seen a Homeland Security truck in their neighborhood? You know, the ones with about 20 antennas on them. Do you think there is a possibility that they are driving around your neighborhood eaves dropping on you and your neighbors conversations? Better watch what you say. You wouldn't want them coming down on you for being some anti government zealot or terrorist for saying what you really think. I wouldn't want to see you get arrested because you we're planning on attending a "Tea Party".

How many rights do we have to lose? How far will we watch this once great Nation fall until we finally say enough? We're being swindled out of our Children's futures by the Global Corporations and a corrupt US Government. When do we start to say enough is enough? The time has come for all Americans to stand up for the freedoms and rights that our forefathers fought for and many true Patriots died for. The simple truth is we are stronger and safer as a Free America then We will ever be as a Government/Corporate Controlled America !!!

Do yourself a favor, take a few minutes to read the Bill of Rights and the American Constitution. These are the documents that were crafted by our forefathers to protect us not from terrorism, but from our own government and to ensure that all Americans would enjoy the freedom they worked so hard for.Today, America is still a Free Country, One Nation Indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for ALL. Standing on the principles of freedom against a Corrupt Government is Americas Foundation. It seems we're at a cross roads. We can stand up for what we know to be right, to fight as our forefathers have or we can let America fall.

It begins with a letter to your elected officials. Electing independent candidates who aren't part of the status quo. Pushing for campaign finance reform so that the Global Corporations don't control our Government. Participating in Protests, Rally's and National Strikes!!!

Buyers Guide For Motorcycle Riders

By Ethan O. Tanner

Do you know anybody who is a motorcyclist? There are many demands for the motorcycle enthusiast. Gifts for the cycle rider in your family might be gear, gloves, jackets, apparel, accessories, eye-wear, and more. Here's a gift purchasing guide with a lot of ideas for you. Gear is all of the time a beneficial idea. Just like clothes, I never think you can always have sufficient apparel. Regardless the type of motorcycle gear you buy as a gift for the motorcycle riders in your life, you can't fail if you do some investigating before you bargain.

You could start with safety combined with a gift by buying just the right helmet. You can buy all different sorts of helmets. The various helmet styles include, half motorcycle helmets, full face motorcycle helmets, beanie motorcycle helmets, German motorcycle helmets, even motocross motorcycle helmets. With cool looking decals or graphics painted in just the right color, there's a great motorcycle helmet for anyone. Fashionable protective eye wear is an idea too. Aiming the right pair of sunglasses or motorcycle goggles for your dearest is a beneficial choice. They come in an assortment of shapes and colors, and the lenses are sometimes tinted yellow. The yellow tint has been proven to help reduce glare, and help improve vision at night.

Denim motorcycle jackets are popular as well, although not worn in colder climates much. A warm leather motorcycle jacket to keep the wind out is another gift, and one they can use all year long, not just in the summer. There are a lot of styles to choose from when buying a leather motorcycle jacket. A decent pair of leather motorcycle chaps for the long ride home is a groovy gift for whatever motorcycle rider. These will go well with just about any other motorcycle apparel, and can be a great addition to any motorcycle riders wardrobe. Leather motorcycle boots and fully fingered or half fingered motorcycle gloves made with leather and other materials is a great addition to the motorcycle leather jacket and motorcycle clothes that you purchase them as a gift.

Do they live in an area that receives a lot of rain annually? A set of rain gear to help protect all of that leather would be great as well. The most damaging effect to leather is rain, and with the right motorcycle rain gear, you can help protect their cycle gift and your investment for many years to come. A set of rain gear that folds compactly is a good investment for your cycle friend. A good set of waterproof gear is a present that is priceless in a downpour.

If the motorcycle rider that you're purchasing a present is not in need of motorcycle clothing, then some gear for their motorcycle would be astonishing. There are many several things you are able to produce to add life to a motorcycle, without ever having to break the bank. The motorcycle canvas cover is a good choice, as is the motorcycle cable and lock system. Then on that point the luggage systems available that make the storage and cargo area of a motorcycle morn than double, The most most common type of system are pertained to as motorcycle saddle bags. You can also get motorcycle tool bags that mount right to the handle bars, and a motorcycle sissy bar rack pack for storing wider items. - 30329

Things You Need To Know When Purchasing Dirt Bikes

By Jake Zertosky

Look for dirt bikes in the styles you are interested in such as street, trail, racing, dual or desert types of riding. Why spend time looking at ones that do not suit your needs.

The five variations include the bikes that serve street riding purposes as well as riding off road, these are called dual purpose. There is the bikes specifically for riding the woods and the trails known as trail bikes.

If you are a true Motocross rider at heart and have no other interest besides this style of riding then the best bike for you is a Motocross one. These are fast and handle very well. Desert bikes are made for riding in dunes and sand. The Enduro bikes are made for use in tests of endurance and racing type trials as well.

Ties of the bike you choose for buying is very important. The best tires in all types of terrain whether it be sand or mud are called knobby tires. These handle so much better in dirt and mud situations as well as sand too and have minimal slippage which is environmentally friendly.

If you are buying a bike for your child then there are some tips that will help you choose the safest and best one for them. There are four types of BMX bikes for children and teens. They are street, racing, park and dirt which happens to be the most popular.

Your kid's should not learn on concrete but rather on dirt as this is the easiest and best way for them to learn the feel of the terrain they will be riding on. These BMX bikes are easy to maneuver and have a much lighter weight to them for handling ease.

Equipment you will also need to be ready to ride includes, pads for knees and elbows, a full face or a bucket helmet, long sleeved shirts and tough denim jeans as well as grip gloves and special bike riding shoes that have more grip to the soles than regular tennis shoes.

Safety should be your foremost concern. Most equipment is not that expensive but some of the higher end helmets can be much higher than lower end versions. You can also find specialty gloves that fit closely and have great gripping qualities to them.

You can also choose some extras for your particular bike such as an emergency repair kit. These kits will have everything you need to get out on the trails and riding as soon as possible. Usually you will find CO2 canisters, patching kit, air pump and small tools.

You can find ramps for carrying your bike to and from rides as well as more expensive specialty ramps for freestyle moves and more. Remember if you are a competitive rider then you must have a number plate located on your bike for your competition number to be inserted.

The important thing to know is that before buying and riding dirt bikes you should learn the safety guidelines and rules of the specific type riding you are doing. Knowing how to ride confidently and safely should be a priority. - 30329

The Beginning Of America's Love Affair With Auto Racing Started On Long Island New York

By L.J. James

I recently took a trip back in time to Long Island NY's past! No I was not in a Delorean. I was actually in a 1929 Model A Ford,It was one of many in a pack of Model A Fords.My trip back in time was hosted by members of the Model A Ford Club of Long Island. The Club Established in 1959 is one of the oldest and largest Model A Clubs in the U.S. The Trip took me back in time to Long Islands distant past,Way Back before the LIE back before even the Northern and Southern State Parkways.All the way back to the glory days of William K. Vanderbilt Jr's Long Island Motor Parkway. The Motor Parkway or the LIMP has been forgotten by many.Portions of it can still be found across the Island some parts are even still in use now going under other names. I must admit I knew almost nothing of the Long Island Motor Parkway before this trip back but as I learned about its history and how it was a major part of shaping the Island we all know and love today, I became very interested in learning more and I would like to share with you a little of what I have learned.

The history of William K. Vanderbilt Jr's Motor Parkway began on June 6th 1908 when its construction started. It was one of the first concrete roads in the Nation and it was the first to use Bridges and over passes so as to not have any intersections. The Motor parkway reached its almost full length of 45 miles from Queens to Lake Ronkonkoma in 1911 with 65 Bridges and many twists and turns.(There was a 2 and a Half mile western extension built in 1928)

The Motor Parkways History of racing is that of legend and still remembered by many Long Island race fans, William K.Vanderbilt Jr was an avid race fan and racer. He often raced in America and France. Disappointed by the lack of Americans winning any of the races he started the Vanderbilt Cup races in 1904 here on Long Island. The race was an international event and would pit 16 Drivers against each other for the prize of the $2000 Silver Cup which was designed by Tiffany & Co.The Cup was the first major trophy in American auto racing. The Races where first held on 30 miles of local roads in Nassau County.These Races where the Beginning of America's love affair with auto racing.In 1906 when two spectators where killed and many others injured by a racing car on Jericho turnpike near the intersection of what is known today as NY Routes 106 and 107, Vanderbilt and friends soon came up with the idea for the Long Island Motor Parkway. The Cup Races where Successfully held on Long Island in conjunction with the Motor Parkway Until 1910 when four spectators where killed and twenty injured.

With the Cup races gone the Motor parkway became purely an access route with a toll of $2.00 and was used mostly by New York's rich looking to hit the party circuit or to go for Sunday Drives and of course by those just looking to drive really fast.The Motor parkway was a privately owned toll road with no speed limit, No Commercial Traffic and because it was privately owned it was off limits to law enforcement. During Prohibition the Parkway gained a reputation as a rum runners road as bootleggers started using the road to transport alcohol.In 1917 the toll was lowered to $1.00 and when more Drivers started using the Motor Parkway to travel across Long Island the speed limit was reduced to 40 mph and local Police where aloud to begin patrolling the parkway to improve traffic safety. An estimated 150,000 cars per year used the Motor parkway at its prime. There where 12 toll lodges along the parkway and the toll lodges have a great story all their own. The Long Island Motor Parkway Continued on until Easter Sunday,April 16th 1938 when it was forced to close. The Motor Parkway even after reducing its toll again to only 40 cents was No longer able to Compete with Robert Moses State of the art Toll free Northern State Parkway. After its Closer the Motor Parkway was split up and sold off, Many of its Bridges destroyed and roads forgotten.Although some Remaining Sections of this Historic Parkway like the 13 Mile eastern most Section in Suffolk still remain in use Most of the Parkway and its History has gone forgotten until recent years.

Members of the Model A Ford Club of Long Island had known about a section of the Long Island Motor Parkway with one of its Bridges still standing hidden away behind Old Bethpage Village and Restoration on Round Swamp Road in Old Bethpage Where the Club holds its Monthly meetings. For those of you who don't know Old Bethpage Village and Restoration is a pre-Civil War Long Island Village with more than 55 historic buildings and a place where anyone of us can travel back in time for the day.I'm sure most of you out there from Long Island will remember it from field trips back in your School days.Well It is all still there with its same historic Magic and those old fashion Sodas and Candies you remember. I have found Old Bethpage to be the perfect place for a first Date! It will not only take you back threw time but it will make you feel like a Kid all over again. In the early Months of 2007 the members of the Model A Ford Club of Long Island started Clearing away what time and neglect had covered up. Then in May 2007 after much hard work the Members of the Model A Ford Club of Long Island got together at Old Bethpage Village and Restoration and took the first Cruise since its closing on their own private piece of the Motor Parkway and Long Islands History. Mark Adler and his 1931 Model A Coop had the Honor of leading the Group and being the first the travel on it! Long Island has some great History and We must always remember We need to save our Historic Buildings and Land marks!!!

For more info about this article go to the Model A Ford Club of Long Island's webpage at www.freewebs.com/modela

While researching this story one thing that kept coming to my mind was that if Long Island is one of the first place's where Auto Racing in the US began then doesn't that mean that Auto Racing really needs to stay here? Lets reclaim the Glory!!!

How to Chose a Cool Vest for Riding your Motorcycle

By Bill Nichols

There is nothing like the wind in your hair the feel of the open road and felling all of that raw horsepower underneath you. Now unless you plan on riding naked, which I do not recommend you will need to buy a motorcycle vest along with other motorcycle apparel.

I truly advise you to ride clothed as it will save on sunburn on your body. Now the actual process of actually shopping for motorcycle cloths is a process that can be a little confusing especially when it comes to getting a cool vest that you can wear in the hot summer months.

Now you have two ways upon which you will be able to shop for your motorcycle cloths the first is in an actual store where you will be able to try on vest and jackets to see how they fell on you. This is the first step in the process of finding a cool vest that will breathe with you while riding.

If you go online for your search then you are looking at a different animal upon which you will need to try and find apparel that fits online where you can't try it before you buy it. If you are looking for a cool vest that will keep you from sweating like an animal in the hot summer sun.

On the other side of the coin there is the thing of buying cloths that will keep you warm in the winter. One of the biggest problems you will discover about leather is that it does not breathe and it is not an insulator. Many products on the market promise to keep you warm in the winter and cool in the summer but fail to deliver on these claims.

If you are looking for a cool vest to wear in the summer then you need to consider buying a hog cooler system. The hog cooler cool vest system consist of a system that uses bagged ice to provide you with a cool vest while riding. The system consist of a unit that you can easily place in your saddle bag and run the tube up into the vest. This will provide you around four hours of cool vest riding no matter the heat outside.

I have found that this is one of the best systems that are on the market today. I say this as a rider and as an actual customer of hogcooler.com as they have what I consider to be a top notch product that will allow you to stay cool in the summer while you enjoy the open road. In the winter months the system uses the power of your engine to heat up the vest and allow you to ride in comfort without having to worry about being cold while riding. Rider will be able to ride in comfort knowing that they are using a cool vest that will provide the comfort that a biker expects from his apparel. - 30329

New York Road Side Rests

By L.J. James

In the Heart of the New York Catskill Mountains, there is a place called Nicks Waterfall House. I have been there many times and it has become one of my favorite places of all time to ride to.

There are times when the stress of our lives and jobs can get even the best of us a little down. If you are a straight lace citizen you go to a Doctor and get some pills or maybe see a shrink. If you are a Biker you hop on your Motorcycle get the motor running and you head out to a place like Nicks Waterfall House.

It does not matter where you are or what direction you come from. The ride threw the NY Catskill Mountains is going to relax the stress away from the depths of your very soul. As you ride to Nick's threw long winding roads up over and into the heart of some of the worlds most majestic Mountains, with the Sun shining down on you and the fresh Mountain air filling your lungs you will start to get a feeling of what one can only describe as pure joy.

As you get near Nicks Waterfall House located on Route 990v, Gilboa New York 12076, either alone or with a group of friends. You will feel as if time and space are no longer a factor in the Universe, and it only gets better from there! As you ride in the first thing many think is they have reached some old time lost resort, but have no fear Nicks is a Biker bar.

When you walk threw the front door you will no longer have any doubts you have arrived at the right place. If Nick is not there to great you himself, there is a good chance he is in his large kitchen cooking up some classic Biker grub. I recommend the first thing you do is order an Ice Cold Beer and go sit by the large windows over looking a Waterfall that looks as if it was stolen from the year--92. If there is any stress or negative emotions left in your body after the ride to the Waterfall House after only a few minutes watching the water fall down and roll over the rocks it will soon have all washed down stream.

Then it is time to meet the locals, grab another Beer and maybe some of that great food (My favorite is the Waterfall House Cheeseburgers) or maybe shoot a game of pool. The crowd at Nicks is a mix of friendly Bikers, locals and good ole boys. This is a place to exchange stories and Adventures from the road. Often the sharing of stories can go on for hours.

It is easy to have what some may call too much fun at Nicks Waterfall House but with rooms up stairs starting at only $25 a night, there is no reason to worry! Now I want to make sure that you know when I tell you there are rooms at Nicks you understand these rooms where created for road weary bikers. If you bring your old lady with you make sure she is a real biker Chick because Nicks is no Yuppie bed and breakfast! It is a real bikers, biker bar and what you get when you rent a room from Nicks is a communal living room a bed to sleep in and a shower to wash off the road dust!

Set Your Ride Apart-Get Custom Harley Wheels!

By Jill Sprouse

A Harley Davidson motorcycle is the ultimate for any motorcycle enthusiast. And what better way to accessorize than with custom Harley wheels? Have you stayed away from custom wheels because you think they are out of your price rage? Consider the following advice and then start looking for the ultimate custom Harley wheels.

One thing that has driven the cost of custom wheels up over the years is the manufacturing costs. But, with the evolution of technology over the past few years it's become cheaper for the manufacturer to produce the wheels. Lower production costs mean savings to you.

If you are seriously considering buying custom Harley wheels formulate a plan. The first thing to think about is how much to spend. Generally, custom wheels are going to cost anywhere from $1500-2000. Now, don't get scared right off the bat. That is a huge expense. But think of it as an investment, not an expense. Anytime you add a custom accessory to your ride it's going to increase the value. Take your time and do some research, on pricing and styles, then make your decisions.

Custom Harley wheels come in various finishes and styles. More than you can image-you will see once you start your research. Things to have in mind when you begin shopping are what type of finish is best for your bike and your climate? If you live in a wet, salty climate you might consider a polished wheel because they wear better in these types of climates. Chrome wheels are really the ultimate finish and they are easy to clean. But, they don't wear well in some climates. Take all of these things into consideration before your purchase.

Spending this much money on a Harley accessory is not something to be taken lightheartedly. Take some time to think about your motorcycle and its build. Think about your budget and what you really can afford. It's not going to do you any good to deck your ride out with custom Harley wheels if the bank is only going to repossess it for non-payment! Make a careful decision before you buy!

Spend a little time looking through custom wheel publications. Buy a few motorcycle magazines (you probably already have them laying around if you are a true motorcycle fan!). Look at the custom wheel ads-they are everywhere. Also, use the internet. Search Yahoo or Bing and you will find thousands of pictures of wheels. Get an idea for what is out there. Heck, it doesn't cost money to browse!

I'm sure if you found this article you know enough about the internet to have heard about Ebay. That's another resource for researching and buying custom Harley wheels. Ebay publishes the Seller's history and that's a great way for you to screen out the good from the bad. Don't be bashful, ask questions of the Seller. They don't mind. They are there to try to sell you a product. Make them work for the money! - 30329

Harley Davidson Forums

By Jack Travers

Throughout the long history of Harley Davidson motorcycles, there has existed some kind of attraction to a brotherhood amongst owners. You can witness this daily as you watch two motorcycle riders pass each other on the road. Inevitably some kind of greeting takes place, it may be a head nod, a wave, a thumbs up, who knows but they will acknowledge each other based on nothing more than they both ride motorcycles.

I am sure that nobody really knows where this code of ethics came from or where the group dynamic starts or ends but it's a real thing that you can see every day. If time or weather permits then of course riding is where the friendships and fraternity grows but when it's too cold or time doesn't permit, then a new type of biker bar or club has emerged, and that's the online internet forum.

Today's Biker Club

The clubhouse of today is digital and allows riders from all over the country to congregate and share those stories, without ever leaving the comfort of their house. The message board is commonplace around the internet and in a variety of niches so it is no surprise that you will find it in the biker world.

If you are not familiar with a message board or forum then it's a website where you can register and interact with other members by leaving messages or "posts" for them to read. It might sound kind of dull but it's really quite engaging if you give it a chance and stick around long enough to learn the personalities of those involved. The best part is that these forums are there day or night, all year long. It's a biker bar that doesn't close.

A Couple of Larger Forums

Below are a few of these "forums" that we personally belong to and find entertaining. There are certainly a lot of them on the internet and they all bring something to the table but we like these and would recommend them as ones you should check out and see if they work for you.

HDForums - This is probably the largest Harley forum there is on the internet and it has a huge membership base. It's almost too big though as you don't get a real feel for the personalities and it's definitely very corporate. What I mean is that you are barraged with advertisements during your entire time there, including extremely annoying pop up ads if you hover over the wrong thing etc. It's a great forum but the ads are annoying.

VTwinforums - This forum is similar to HDForums but more technically oriented. HDForums is more for the average Joe while VTwinforum is more for the guy who likes to work on his own motorcycle and might need help doing it. It's also very corporate and has paid membership options if you want to get rid of the ads.

HawgNet - This site brings a lot to the table when it comes to the Harley Davidson world and we only hope to make it grow even larger with your help. This is a relatively new forum that is still on the rise and could use all the members it can get. We hope you will stop by and check it out.

These are just three of the forums that I have found or know about and I am sure that there are dozens more but these three show a lot of promise and you can likely find whatever you might need at one of these three. - 30329

Finding Quality Motorcycle Eye Wear

By Ethan O. Tanner

Motorcycle apparel is crucial to hold you secure and to minimize risks and injuries. Motorcycle Eye wear, for one, is important to save our eyes from adverse elements like dust, glare and smoke. With motorcycle Eye wear, dangerous elements are prevented from freely penetrating our eyes. Good quality Eye wear is perfectly essential for comfort, safety and enjoyment of your cycle.

Best find motorcycle Eye wear have some things in common. First, they have UV protection that protects the eyes from harmful rays of the sun. The most advisable protection is that having a UV 400 filter. Second, they have shatterproof lenses in order for them to be tough and hard to break. Even if the Eye wear is hit by hard debris, the same will not be easily damaged.

You are in need of special motorcycle goggles if you are fond of rugged riding. This is to keep pebbles, road dirt and other elements from entering your eyes. In addition, you can use an Eye wear with interchangeable lenses so that you can change them to adjust with the varying driving conditions. Good ventilation is also needed to avoid misting of lenses. Polycarbonate material is better than glass. This is because the former is shatterproof.

A different tip from the practised riders is to choose an Eye wear frame made of nylon or plastic and never metal. The reason is comfort and nice fit. Nylon and plastic advance contoured bend that goes well with the head. Choose also a lightweight Eye wear so that they'll not be that burdensome. Motorcycle Eye wear must have a snug fit.

Without question of the motorcycle eye wear's quality, you'll be able to rely on some of the established names in the Eye wear industry. They are Gucci Sunglasses, Rayban Sunglasses, Chanel Sunglasses, Discount Sunglasses and more. You can find in their sufficient range of sunglasses to bring the properly fit and protection.

Importance of Having a Cool Vest

By Bill Nichols

If you are a motorcycle rider then you know the importance of having a cool vest while riding. Even if you are just a weekend rider having a cool vest is essential on a hot summer day. Between the heat from the motorcycle and the hot summer sun a rider can become quite hot while riding. Many motorcycles as well as jackets tend to have one major flaw and that is that they don't keep a person cool during the summer unless you have a Hog Cooler Cool Vest!

Many products promise a cool vest but fail to produce a quality cool vest. One of the main drawbacks to a leather cool vest is that leather does not breathe thus a leather vest is not a cool vest. The other problem is that in the winter it is more than a cool vest in fact it now becomes a cold vest. When this happens you end up with a frozen biker, and that is not a good thing.

When you are shopping for a cool vest you need to make sure that you look and try to find one that will keep you as cool in the summer and warm in the winter. I have found it to be useful that you try the cool vest on at the store and see there if it moves and breathes with you. It may sound funny but you will be able to tell almost immediately if this cool vest will end up being right for you by the way it feels.

If you are shopping online then what you will want to do is to make it a point that when your cool vest arrives in the mail that you take it and wear it outside on a sunny day. Now of course be careful not to damage it in case you need to return or exchange it down the road. Doing this will allow you to see how the cool vest will react with you on a hot day while riding your bike.

There are several cool vest systems that are on the market that will help you to stay cool and will provide you with that cool vest that you are looking for. I have found one of the best systems that are on the market today is the Hog Cooler cool vest made by the folks at hogcooler.com. This cool vest system is designed to give you a cool vest feel as well as keep you warm in the winter months. In my opinion there are few products that come close to delivering the type of results that you will find with a hog cooler cool vest.

Bikers have always and will always continue through time to try and solve the problem of the cool vest while you are riding your bike across the desert on a hot summer day. Having a cool vest during the blistering summer will help to keep you a happy biker and will not cause a pleasant ride into being a miserable one. - 30329

Harley Davidson-100 Years as the Motorcycle Real Deal

By Jill Sprouse

Harley Davidson, the most respected and most popular motorcycle manufacturer in the United States has been going strong for over 100 years! Debuting in 1903 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Harley Davidson offers racing bikes, military bikes and most importantly the Harley roadsters. Harley's birth is remembered every year when hundreds of thousands of motorcycle fanatics converge on Milwaukee, Wisconsin to pay their respects and homage.

Arthur Davidson and William Harley founded Harley Davidson in 1903. With their first Harley being constructed in a tiny wooden shed in Wisconsin, the first ever Harley dealership was started in 1904 in Chicago, Illinois by C.H. Lang. Henry Meyer was the first individual to ever buy a Harley Davidson and he bought it directly from Milwaukee.

1905 was a watershed year for the Harley Davidson Company. That's when Harley won its first motorcycle race. After getting the taste of a victory, Harley Davidson continued to enter off-road races, lap races, and endurance competitions. 1913 saw the creation of the Harley Davidson racing department.

One-third of all Harley Davidson motorcycles were purchased by the United States Military in 1917. And, within one year, fifty percent of the motorcycles used by the military were Harleys. By the end of World War One, 20,000 motorcycles were put to the test during combat with the majority of those motorcycles being manufactured by the Harley Davidson Company. H.O.G. (short for Harley Owners Group) was formed in 1983 by a group of Harley enthusiasts. HOG is the largest motorcycle club on record with over five hundred thousand members on the book in 2000.

The year 2010 will surely be another ground breaking year for Harley Davidson. Enhanced accessories, improved technology and unsurpassed quality will propel Harley into another record breaking year. - 30329

I Am the Law: Motorcycle Law

By Myer Thompson

Unless you've been under a bed for 30 years, you know what the party line regarding motorcycles is. We've been bombarded with so many notions of what a motorcycling lifestyle entails, we just take it for granted now. If you were to chime in that motorcycling is a perilous, unpredictable lifestyle and means of transportation, you'd be pegged as some kind of four-eyed square peg. No one wants his or her myth of a Steppenwolf-soundtracked freedom curtailed.

Beware complacency, fellow and aspiring riders. Hardcore, dyed-in-the-wool bikers are savvy enough to know what the score is. They've been riding long enough to know that yes, riding a cycle is a matter of life-and-death. Even trips to the local corner store are fraught with more perils than if you decided to jump into your car or SUV. It stands to reason -- and the statistics bear it out -- that being propped up on two wheels, moving at high rates of speed with little or no protection around your tender flesh is a recipe for disaster. Or at least a nasty case of road rash.

Sooner or later, you will have to put your baby down. Whether it's someone opening a door while you're splitting lanes, or lane changes that fail to take you into consideration -- you will have to put your motorcycle down at some point in your riding life. This means you have to be prepared to feel the road against your skin -- at higher rates of speed than walking. It's a bit dour, but if you're a Sunday biker, regaled in your Sunday biking best, you'd better be ready for reality.

Other than knowing all the usual safety tips, every bikers should have some grasp of motorcycle law. This means understanding what rights and privileges you're entitled to. If you should be involved in a serious accident, you will wish you knew the law. In fact, you'll probably wish you had a good motorcycle attorney on speed dial to handle all the red tape headed your way.

Staying safe is what is essential. Yes, going fast is your prerogative, but you don't have much between you and the asphalt. There's no point enjoying all your chopper or crotch rocket have to offer if you can only do it once. Longevity is the key here -- stay safe and stay alive. - 30329

Get The Mountain Bike Of Your Choice At A Reasonable Choice

By Howard Brown

The marketplace is filled with hundreds of mountain bike brands but only a few perform up to par. The consumer has several choices of mountain bikes to choose from in a marketplace filled with hundreds of brands.

There are several frame materials from which to choose plus you have to weigh your options in terms off what you'll be doing with your new bike. Will you be riding on rough terrains and perform stunts? You should know these before hand.

Pricing is another important factor in your choice of a mountain bike. The price ranges from $500 for a low end bike to over $10,000 for a high end one. There are good bikes in between those prices and brands account for pricing as well.

All these factors should be taken into consideration before making your purchase. You'll need a strong frame for performing stunts and a light frame for speed.

Mountain biking is a wonderful sport but unfortunately there is the danger of getting hurt so you'll need the right gear. Having proper clothes and helmet will protect you from a fall as well as severe weather conditions.

Some people skimp on the gear and assume they can get any kind of cheap gear. But choosing the proper gear is as important as choosing the bike. After all you do not want to come back from your trip all bruised up from minor falls.

Most riders will choose their bikes from any of the following four categories: cross country, freeride, all mountain and downhill. The bikes in each category are alike in design but there are several options to choose from.

Most riders will stick to the all mountain bike group since these bikes can do everything you want in a bike. Freeride bikes are designed for rough landscapes, cross country bikes are designed with speed in mind while a downhill bike is heavy and is designed for going downhill.

Choose the category that best fits your needs. If you are new to biking and won't be doing much riding then an all mountain may be right for you. Use your judgment to choose the best bike for your needs. - 30329

Some Information about Motorcycle Insurance Quotes

By John Bellafonte

As with any vehicle, there are various coverage options when insuring a motorcycle. Getting a motorcycle insurance quote will assist you in deciding which policy will offer the best rates for the most coverage. This is why you should always get several quotes before purchasing yoru motorcycle insurance.

Riding a motorcycle has its own set of risks that are different than those associated with driving a car. A motorcycle rider assumes more risks than a person who is driving an enclosed vehicle with four or more wheels. Motorcycle accidents are common because they are difficult to see on the road. They are smaller so it is easier for them to end up in a car's blind spot and suffer an accident as a result.

Since motorcycles are small, open carriage, two-wheeled vehicles, people who drive motorcycles need to utilize different driving tactics. Generally speaking, motorcyclists should drive more defensively. If a motorcycle gets in an accident, it is liable to be completely totaled, and the driver is likely to be injured. Motorcycle safety courses tend to outline all of these risks and often offer sound advice on motorcycle safety.

Due to the above facts, a motorcycle insurance quote should be designed to include rider medical expenses as well as what the whole bike would cost. In order to actually have total coverage for motorcycle riders, both of these expenses must be covered. Since personal injury costs are often just as expensive, and likely more important, than bike costs, it is important to have injury costs included in a motorcycle insurance quote.

Treatment for motorcycle accident induced injuries can easily run in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, especially if surgery is required. Also, it is not uncommon for injuries sustained to turn into chronic conditions or long term problems. The risk of these injuries is a fact of the motorcycle lifestyle. Because of this, many insurance companies offer policies that will insure this type of tragedy.

Generally speaking, motorcycle insurance is far less than car insurance, especially if the driver decides only to insure the bike. Since a car is obviously more expensive than a motorcycle, a motorcycle insurance quote reflects this difference. However, this is only true when the motorcycle insurance does not cover the health of the driver.

A quote for a used motorcycle is going to be less than a quote for a brand new one for obvious reasons. A used motorcycle is going to have less value than a new one. Read the blue book listings for motorcycles if you are insuring a used one to make sure your quote is going to fully cover the bike if you have an accident and it is totaled. This will also ensure that you won't pay too much to insure the bike.

To insure proper and compete coverage, it is imperative to read the quote fully and thoroughly. After an accident is the worst time to learn about a gap in coverage. Don't get caught unprepared. Avoiding unwanted surprises is often merely a matter of being careful and reading the fine print. - 30329

Reading Reviews On Scooters And Motorbikes

By Colin Jones

I have read tons of reviews about scooters and motorbikes, because I am a subscriber to a scooter and motorcycle aficionados' magazine that carries articles about all the different sorts of scooters and motorcycles on the market. It also recommends the best one to acquire depending on whether you are a first time owner or a two-wheeler old hand. The magazine is fantastic, and it helps me understand what other scooter owners feel about the different models and brands of scooters.

I have to say that people's views vary quite widely on every subject, which is why it's probably always better to do your own studying and get what best suits you, rather than getting what other people say will suit you, when they do not even know you. Having said that, many first time buyers do not honestly know what they are looking for, and it is really these people that these reviews are written for.

However, these reviews are not meant to be taken too literally, rather they are intended as a guideline so that potential greenhorn buyers have to ruminate about the aspects of buying a scooter or motorbike. It also gives experts a run down of the salient facts. Then you need to make up your own mind whether you care, for example, whether the scooter's seat is made of leather or fabric.

All in all, I like this magazine because it considers people from all walks of life, and its writers and editor appreciate that even if you are interested in purchasing a scooter, you may not have enough money or you might be reading just out of interest in scooters or motorcycles.

We all know that money is difficult to come by these days, and consumers are becoming more and more well-informed about the goods they want, which is a good thing in my opinion. After all, there are other merchants who just desire to get the most money they can for their products and mark up their scooter prices to inflated amounts in the hope that they will get a few stupid customers that did not do their research.

And I am sure that they probably do get a few patrons like that, because they do stay in business somehow and I frequently hear awfulness stories about individuals who have paid far too much for their scooter or motorbike.

When you ask them why they did not take the time to read the reports in a magazine, they typically say that they did not know about the magazines, or even worse, that they did not have sufficient time. Therefore it seems that they had enough time to work like a dog for the money, but then not sufficient time to read a short magazine review? I doubt it very much. With a bit of luck, consumers will carry on becoming more and more cautious about their purchases.

It is such a pity, so, If you happen to be a new scooter fan, or you know someone who is, please make sure you read the scooter and motorbike reviews before concluding a purchase. It can literally save you hundreds or even thousands of your hard earned dollars. - 30329

Pendleton And Stayton Junk Car Removal

By Floyd Franklin

The first step to find free junk auto removal is to decide what you need to do with your junk auto. You fundamentally have three options.

Another thing that you may want to do is take your number plates off. By removing them, you'll be needed to send them off.. All personal things must be removed and any extras that you could have installed in your auto that you want to keep. If you forget to take anything out of your automobile then the removal company can't be held responsible for any possessions that get lost or damaged after the car has been taken away.

One of the most recycled end-user products today is our old pal, the automobile. Junk car removal has been a gigantic industry and there is actually no necessity to hold on to your automobile if it no longer runs and has become an ugly lawn ornament.

Any other evidence of identity that you have will also be admired by the company.

When you auto isn't an asset for you anymore and has become more of a liability, it is time to get shot of it. The explanations include- there's no potential buyer of the auto. The car met up with an accident and got written off by your respective insurance company. The trade-in value is either null or negligibly small. You don't intend to pass it forward to anyone. You find it annoying to sell it. More than its value, it asks for fixing it. It is been in junk for so long that it refuses to move an in.. - 30329

A Few Tips To Help You Choose The Right Motorcycle Helmets

By Amanda Beaty

One thing that the experts recommend in regard to using motorcycle helmets is that you need to replace them every five years; even if your helmet has never fallen to the pavement. Of course, in case your helmet has fallen on the pavement then you will need to immediately replace it with a new one.

Often, a biker that wants to buy a motorcycle helmet will gravitate towards a helmet that looks nice or is something that the dealer has suggested. This is not the best option as it puts you at risk of not wearing an appropriate head protection that can ruin your entire ride. As a matter of fact, even people with prior experience in buying a motorcycle helmet may still find it difficult to properly identify the most appropriate piece.

A motorcycle helmet's shell that is made from polycarbonate will cost less and this is because the cost of producing such helmets is lower and so if you go shopping for low-end helmets you will come across many that have a shell made from molded polycarb. On the other hand, the shells that are made from fiberglass/carbon/Kevlar are costlier and at the same time also lighter in weight. These helmets are usually the ones that are being sold by the more famous brand companies.

Of course, there are other kinds of helmets that are also worth checking out including the hybrid motorcycle helmet that is designed to help the rider slide the chin-part of the helmet upwards. These helmets provide good protection and are very convenient for a rider that is accustomed to wearing eyeglasses. The open-face motorcycle helmet, also known as three-quarter motorcycle helmet, provides excellent protection to the ears as well as to the side of the rider's face. However, they come without chin protection and so is not the safest option.

It is also important that you pick a motorcycle helmet that fits your head perfectly and which is very comfortable as well. This means that you need to look for certain features including ensuring that the cheek-pads are of the right size in relation to your face and the chinstrap too should be lined and must fit comfortably as well. Using liners that are removable and washable is advantageous since it helps ensure that you can keep your helmet clean as well as free from odors and smells.

A good helmet must also have venting and of course it should be very comfortable as well. You should also look for anti-fogging inserts as well.

The liner of the motorcycle helmet must be constructed out of EPS which will help in absorbing the energy from the impact and at the same time will also not pass this energy to the rider's head. In this way it provides maximum protection to the rider's head. Chin straps are also an essential feature that must be present in all motorcycle helmets and the ones with double "D" rings are the best choice.

Last but not least, makes sure that your motorcycle helmet is comfortable and fits your head very snugly. And you need to also ensure that the helmet cannot come off your head even when it impacts a hard surface such as a pavement. - 30329
