Many love to use their motorcycle during long distance trips because it is fast and hassle-free. Although this is the case, it does not mean that you do not need to prepare. Keep in mind that you are traveling with limited items and the risks involved is greater. Preparation is very important in any trip and taking your motorcycle is not an excuse. Aside from your leather jacket and Harley Davidson boots, here are some of the other things you need to remember: 1. The most important thing when going on a trip is to know where you are going. Find out how long it will take, what type of road you are going to deal with, and what kind of environment the road has. Be sure to know where to stop for food...

The history of the motorcycle goes back over 100 years, when an American gentleman made a steam powered motor that would be small enough to fit onto his bicycle. Howard Roper from Roxbury, Massachusetts, got tired of pedaling his bicycle over long distances. Taking months and months to draw diagrams and thinking just how he could make a steam engine that would be small enough to relieve the pressure from his legs and feet as he traveled from place to place on dirt roads and paths. Finally in 1867, Roper succeeded; it was powered by burning coal to create the steam. This bike has been displayed in many fairs and circuses over the years. In 1885, Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach (later to be the...

A chopper is basically a name given to an expert hand built motorcycle or motorbike. It is more often than not a high performance motorcycle for haul racing plus a lot of costly accessories are involved in it. It is a tremendously customized motorcycle or motorbike. A big example is the archetypal motorcycle used in the film Easy Rider in 1969 which actually came from the well known company of Harley-Davidsons. The chopper is a motorbike aficionado version of a Ferrari and a Rolls-Royce. It has an extremely huge engine that is actually very reliable as well. The technique is touted to be very characteristic as each design is modified to the definite owner's dimensions and taste. The cost of a...

My last motorcycle cruise was a spur of the moment decision to ride with a group of my buddies. Wouldn't you know it, 10 minutes into the ride and a drenching rain started. Well my buddies pulled off the road and slid on their rain gear and they were ready to roll. Stupid me watched with much envy, as I kicked myself for not buying any rain gear. I really wanted to head home and change from my rain soaked jeans and drenched cotton jacket but my ego pushed me onward with the guys. That night as I slithered from my cold slimy clothes I vowed to go over to Adventure Harley-Davidson and pick me out some good rain gear. Waking early, I got dressed and hopped on my V-Rod® Muscle and headed to...

A helmet is probably the most important piece of safety equipment that you'll buy when riding a motorcycle. There is a wide range of helmets available today both in terms of style and perhaps more importantly cost. What style helmet you decide to buy and how much money you decide to spend is very much a personal choice, however depending on how much you value your head you should aim to spend as much as you can comfortably afford. As with everything these days, you get what you pay for! Rule number one when buying a motorcycle helmet is never buy a second hand helmet. There a few very good reasons for this. Most importantly you can never be one hundred percent certain of it's history. It may look...

If you have your motorcycle for a while, it is likely that the seat will eventually start to wear out. You can go through various different companies to get motorcycle seat covers to replace the one that came with your motorcycle, as well as to make it more comfortable. You can also get covers that will change the color of your seat to make it look a bit cooler. Many of these are pads that just go over the seat cover you already have. Those who need to actually replace a seat cover that is damaged and not just add padding to their seat, or those who want to change the color of their seat can go through B&H Specialties or another similar company. Seats that are very similar to the original seats...

When most motorcyclists head out to enjoy an afternoon of free riding, they think of the allure of the open road. No time tables, no meetings, nothing at all - just freedom. More often than not, enthusiasts can regale you about the joy of just cruising. That is why the cruiser motorcycles are so prevalent in the market today. In this article, we'll look at some of the history behind one of the most famous American motorcycle brands: Harley-Davidson. Harley-Davidson was founded just after the turn of the 20th century from the combined effort of William S. Harley and Arthur Davidson. The two formed the first three production motorcycles in a 10x15 shed. Just a couple years after their inception as a...

Some people feel bikers are hoodlums in leather jackets that are continually up to no good. This is rarely true. In the 1960s the Japanese started manufacturing and exporting small motorcycles to the United States that were unintimidating. Motorcycling has become a status of high fashion. There were Hollywood bad boy bikers that rode motorcycles such as Clarke Gable, Marlon Brando, James Dean, and Steve McQueen. People like Donna Reed or Jimmy Stewart wouldn't be seen straddling a motorcycle. That has changed today. Since the 1980's our perception has shifted. Other people, who were in the public eye, came out with the fact that they were bikers, people such as CEO Malcom Forbes, who toured the...

When you need a motorcycle transported from one place to another, you need motorcycle movers. Whether you've bought a motorcycle from another state or you need help moving your motorcycle to your new home, specialized movers can help you. Why trust your cycle to regular movers who don't appreciate motorcycles or understand the specific needs that can arise when trying to move one? A motorcycle mover company understands the special needs that motorcycles have when they are shipped from place to place. You should look for one that uses special skids and hardware to protect your motorcycle. In addition, the company should use soft straps that won't harm your cycle when it's strapped down for transport...

Recently I caught a segment on 60 Minutes about a group of nomadic people who live in the islands off the coast of Thailand and Burma who are called the Moken or the sea gypsies of the Andaman Sea. Apparently, because of their intimate knowledge of the sea, the Moken people were able to survive the Asian Tsunami of December 2004 when so many others in the area perished. This fact is interesting in and of itself, but what really caught my attention was the following excerpt: The Moken don't know how old they are. Ivanoff says this is because, "Time is not the same concept as we have. You can't say for instance, 'When.' It doesn't exist in Moken language." And Ivanoff says "when" is not the only word...

Harley-Davidson is a manufacturer of motorcycles based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin that was started with small plans in 1901 by a 21 year old named William S. Harley. In 1903, Harley enlisted help from his friend Arthur Davidson and Davidson's brother Walter to build a motorcycle strong enough to climb the hills of Milwaukee without using pedals. On September 8, 1904 a Harley-Davidson motorcycle made its first public appearance at State Fair Park in Milwaukee when it was entered in a race and driven by Edward Hildebrand. The largest manufacturing job for Harley-Davidson came during World War I, while the company was still in its infancy. The United States wanted motorcycles involved in the war effort...

I heard a man on a radio call-in show ranting about how much money his wife spends on nail polish. I personally do not buy nail polish, but I still had to sympathize with the man's wife. If he's like many husbands I know, he's carrying on about his wife's $5 nail polish while he's paying off a speedboat loan. In my husband's mind, the only thing standing between him and a Harley-Davidson Sportster or a Triumph TR6 is me. While I do stand there--and firmly rooted I might add--I am certainly not standing alone. There are also many thousands of dollars between him and everything he wants. And that is a much more formidable obstacle than I'll ever be, believe it or not. Women and men are very different...

Changing oil to your motorcycle is one of the easiest and most important tasks that you can do yourself. No need to pay the service fee if you don't like to, its easy. This how to takes a look to the process. You may refer to your service manual to see what part is called what. Before you start, you will need these items: 1. New oil filter. There are two kinds, black and chromed. Some people use 3rd party cheap filters, I have always used Genuine HD filter. 2. A container into which the old oil goes. 3. 3 bottles of motor oil (2.8 litres or 3 quarts). A never-ending debate goes over what oil is best, there is no simple one answer. If in doubt, just use what your operating manual states. 4. 1 flat...

people today are dropping out of the rat race and opting instead to start their own business online. This can be a great way to make a living, but it's not as easy as it might seem. As with a brick-and-mortar business, there are costs and risks involved with an Internet business. Some people build their own business from the ground up; others opt for an affiliate marketing program or a wholesale drop-shipping company. However you choose to start, there is going to be a lot of work involved. Your success depends on your work ethic, as well as your knowledge and willingness to take risks. When starting an Internet business, as with a conventional business, you should go with what you know. If you don...

As the old saying goes, "physician heal thyself". Business and life coaching isn't any different. It is funny that sometimes we forget to look in the mirror and judge ourselves. While talking with a client today I realized something I have been overlooking in my own life for some time now. I had been confusing goals and rewards. Actually, I was skipping the goals and listing the rewards. Years ago when I first started creating goal sheets with my wife, the sheets listed real goals. Recently my wife and I had a discussion about our goals in the previous year and for the next year. She had accomplished significantly more of her goals than I had. I chalked my lack of accomplishment up to the fact that...

The carburetor is one of the most important parts in automobile engines. The carburetor ensures that there is the right mix of gasoline and air in the engine so that the engine functions correctly. Too much air or too much gasoline in the mixture causes damage to the engine, so a carburetor is very important in all stages of the engine functioning. Carburetors are generally found in old cars and in small engine automobiles like 2-wheelers, lawn mowers, and chain saws. All new cars use the fuel injection technique instead of carburetors because of its low emission levels and fuel efficiency. A carburetor is just a tube with an adjustable plate called the throttle placed across it. This throttle...

THERE'S SOMETHING TO BE SAID FOR standing firm in the face of opposition. Interestingly, most of the best stock decisions have come at times when the mainstream is saying precisely the opposite. Predictions like these can be valuable if one is to build an investment strategy around their view of the world. The appraisal by the minority over the past few years that inflation would return (while most of Wall Street was bemoaning DEflation) has proven to be true. As we've pointed out in the past, it can be readily observed in oil prices, real estate, and dozens of other commodities where no source of cheap imports is available. As Steve Forbes remarks in Forbes Magazine's May 23rd commentary, "oil...

> There are so many choices in purchasing a motorcycle. Often what you’d consider and compare with others are in terms of handling, speed, luggage, space and its overall appearance. Of course, these factors, among many others, would generally be based on your choice between the type of bike you that’s most preferable for your lifestyle and personality: touring, sport-touring, sport, standard, cruiser, enduro, dual-sport and off-road. Each type also comes with its very own riding attitude and of course, riding gears and accessories. Notice this, Harley-Davidson bike riders would not go out riding in the same biking outfit and accessories as Ducati sports bike riders. Here are several...

With insane gas prices, people are looking at motorcycle gas mileage. More people are considering motorcycles to reduce their gas costs. I've gotten over 50mpg on my 2004 Road King Custom, which has the five speed transmission. The new six speed will no doubt give you better mileage. As you can see by the list below, Harley-Davidson motorcycles get great gas mileage ranging from around 53mpg for the big Screamin Eagle Ultra Classic and the Screamin Eagle DYNA, both with the 110 cubic inch engine to around 60mpg for the 883 Sportster. If you're considering a motorcycle to lower your gas costs, keep in mind the type of riding your going to be doing. If you're thinking about an 883 Sportster to commute...

On September 10, 2010 a handful of colorful people will be gathering in Kitty Hawk, NC with their ancient motorcycles and chase vehicles to embark on a ride of a lifetime across the United States of America on the Motorcycle Cannonball Run. If you ride a 1970s classic BMW R75/5 motorcycle, a 1966 Triumph Bonneville, or even a 1941 Indian Chief motorcycle, you are welcome to ride along but "modern" machines like these are not eligible for the actual event which is open only to pre-1916 motorcycles including Harley-Davidson, Indian, Excelsior, Henderson and Sears. The brainchild of antique motorcycle enthusiast and restorer, Lonnie Isam, Jr, this limited event sold out quickly once announced to the...

It is a fact that motorcycle parts get damaged, no matter how much care is being exerted. Getting the said parts fixed can be quite costly as well. Since the prices of motorcycle parts are not really that affordable, most people cannot get around to getting their rides fixed. In situations like this, choosing used motorcycle parts is probably the best option. Using used parts has its advantages in comparison to the use of brand-new ones from the manufacturers. One of the greatest things about it is how much one can save out of this choice. New motorcycle components are bound to be more expensive, which affects the overall cost of repair. A lesser amount of money is involved when using used...

Motorcycle enthusiasts are constantly looking for modifications and adjustments they can make to improve the performance of their bikes. Some will cost a lot in terms of both money and labor. But there is one thing that can be done to improve the riding experience with relatively low costs. That is upgrading the air intake. Some people will disagree and have their own opinions about what the most effective upgrade is. Switching from stock to a performance intake system will provide an immediate boost to your bike's horsepower. Simply put, an improved intake system increases the volume of air which provides more oxygen to your engine. As a result more fuel can be burned with improved efficiency. This...

With all the negative articles about oil additives, which were written and widely supported by special interest groups, it is time to tell the truth about oil additives. In most cases, they exert a positive function and with regular use can provide a number of advantages for vehicles and equipment. First, get one thing; it is important to distinguish from oil additives developed by companies that have been tested, and others, usually by individuals, without such testing and documentation. Anyone can put an additive package and have a label. There are many on the market, which have no real control, although they say they do. This is where additives have received a bad name. On the other hand, there...

Proactive maintenance practices are vital to maximize pump life, minimize downtime and avoid costly repairs. The right maintenance program includes maintenance activities for all primary causes of failure: wear, seal damage and bearing failure. KEY CAUSES OF BEARING FAILURE The most common causes for bearing failure are contamination and poor lubrication; however, excessive loading and bearing damage prior to operation—during assembly or handling—can also be culprits. Good failure mode analysis offers clear indications of the root cause and can identify common solutions to solve bearing problems. If contamination or poor lubrication is causing bearing failure in your application, the following...

Synthetic Oil is generally manufactured as a substitute for petroleum or lubrication oil. It is known as ‘synthetic’ oil due to the many chemical properties mixed into it artificially to modify it to suit market purposes. Though used on and off for many years, synthetic oil was first introduced into the market for commercial use by Motul, a French oil company which launched the product for use in motor car engines in the early 1970s. Synthetic Oil can be manufactured using many different processes. One of the most common is the Fischer-Tropsch method which converts carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and methane into liquid hydrocarbons (compounds of hydrogen and carbon). Another manufacturing...

Synthetic motor oil has been around for about four decades now and becomes more popular as time goes on.  Although more and more vehicle owners have switched to using synthetic motor oil, many people still do not understand the value in it's use.  Because it is slightly more expensive than traditional, petroleum based oils, some people will not even take the time to learn why it may be a better alternative.  There are many misconceptions about synthetic motor oil and it's abilities. One common misconception about synthetic motor oil is that it is no different than traditional oil at all, but just a ploy to charge more for a completely similar product.  The truth is that synthetic motor oil is...

It would be impossible to count the number of times a day comments are made about one ego or another. There’s no denying every one has a sense of self; it could be high or low self-esteem, or an inflated or minimized sense of one’s own self-importance. Ego can be extremely constructive with increased self-esteem driving us forward to achieve better, faster, more. It can also be negative and downright destructive particularly when one’s own level of self-importance no longer exudes a natural level of confidence but rather is perceived by others as complete and utter arrogance. An inflated sense of self-importance is neither collaborative nor adaptive. It already knows what needs to be done and...

Industrial pumps are devices that are used to move gases or liquids with the purpose of moving the fluid or gas by a physical or mechanical action. Many think that pumps create pressure but this is not correct. It is not the pump that causes the pressure; it is by adding resistance to any flow that causes pressure. In the industrial pump market there are several different types of pumps that are used and therefore might need to be repaired. When repairs are needed it is important to use companies that have certified technicians available. One type of industrial pump is a hydromantic pump. This is a pump regularly used in water treatment. Many wastewater treatment centers use these to help them keep...

Lanyards have different uses. They are simple but very helpful. Office personnel will not lose important items like pens and recorders if they carry them around using these slings. It is also a better alternative in terms of displaying IDs, as it does not ruin the fabric of the employees' clothes or uniform. Sports lovers use these as well. Football fans proudly display their NFL lanyards even if they are not in a game. In addition, organizers find it very useful to help them identify their staff during an important event. Most of us are in a hurry. Every day, we are in rush to do some errands. It is most likely that we will forget some important items as we do our daily tasks. How many times did...
