t say, I really don't trust people who don't read in the bathroom. Our bathroom at home is filled with reading material; from Oprah magazines to a true-crime book (my disgusting guilty pleasure), to my husband's history book (his not-so disgusting guilty pleasure) and his GQ magazines. When I have read my magazines one too many times, or when my current true-crime book is finished, my last resort is to skim through his GQ magazines (only because I cannot see myself getting into the Industrial Revolution and how it profoundly impacted the socioeconomic situation in America during the 19th century, no matter how bored I get). It is then that I realize that GQ is my husband's fashion bible. From the...

The entire world of HD is really a life style for most people. For all that are living to breathe the road air and accentuate ourselves in motorcycle leathers and dewrags, H-D is considerably much more in comparison with just a company. It developed the entire motorbike field and although it has lost some ground in the newer style of bullet models and racing bikes, it still has a hard hold to the die-hard Harley fans. Considering of this, the H-D company logo is whereas well-known a badge whereas the vintage H-D layout, which has adorned practically any particular area and right away becomes a collector's item. One can find individuals that put American harley graphics on everything, partly for...

Here are some more fun, quick ideas to jumpstart your creativity. - Try something completely foreign to you. Go play bingo. Talk to strangers. Ride in a hearse or on a horse. Go by the Harley Davidson store and pretend you're interested in buying a bike. Go to the opera. Learn sign language. Blindfold yourself for the morning. Listen to rap music. Listen to talk radio. I picked up a book the other day at B&N on the sale table: 2,001 Things to Do Before You Die. Not only is it a great idea book to get you out of a rut, it's a treasure house of situations, goals or nightmares for your characters. - Write from a prompt. There are tons of writing prompts on the web and even books of prompts. If you...

Unique gifts are not easy to find and unique clocks are ideal. If you are really stuck for ideas for gifts, how about something that lasts the passage of time? In fact, how about something that measures the passage of time? How about a clock or watch? How about something unique in timepieces? There is a very wide variety of clocks and watches available, and for such a gift to work it has to be something unusual and unique. Most people cannot afford the high prices of the top makes of clocks and watches for incidental gifts, and would welcome relative low priced (less than $100) simple gifts that are unique and that are unlikely to be given by anyone else. There is nothing worse than giving a...

Are you looking for a used Dodge minivan? I was and in my search I had to go online to purchase one. Let me explain how I came across my used minivan. A few years ago I found a 1993 used Dodge Caravan for sale which I bought for $850 with 130,000 miles on it. The tires were fair and it was not in bad shape as far as the body was concerned. I loved driving that Dodge minivan and put another 30,000 miles on it with nothing more than normal upkeep expenses. In fact I would still be driving that baby if an Orkin truck had not run a stop sign. I t-boned that pick-up and rolled him over. My Dodge minivan's airbag went off and the seat belt harness worked like a charm. I was able to walk away with only...

William Harley and Arthur Davidson, both in their early twenties, built their first motorcycle in 1903. During their first year, the company's entire output was only 1 motorbike; however, by 1910, the company had sold 3,200. Movies such as Easy Rider made Harleys a cultural icon and soon the company attracted people who loved its bad-boy mystique, powerfulness, rumbling voice, distinctive roar, and toughness. It sounded like nothing else on the road, and even Elvis Presley and Steve McQueen longed to ride one. The Harley-Davidson Motor Company has had its ups and downs, and at times, the downs seemed as if they would end in bankruptcy. In the sixties, Honda, Kawasaki, and Yamaha invaded the American...

Why do the rich get richer and richer, the middle class faces the threat going down to become poor, and the poor just gets poorer and poorer. The difference between a poor man and a rich man is actually when a rich person gets richer; his lifestyle stays the same (delaying the expensive lifestyle). When a rich person earns money, the money will not be spent on things like expensive clothing, car, a Harley Davidson bike, but they will actually invest the money back into assets (things that put money into their pocket, like buying shares that will earn you dividend, property to be rented that can get some cash flowing in, bird's nest, profitable businesses, etc). When you often see rich people that...

A black leather cuff strap watch is an attractive and functional fashion statement for men or for women. It is a versatile choice as it looks good with business attire or with a casual wardrobe and comes in many styles with different faces and features, and is available from several different watch manufacturers. There are a lot of considerations to be made when a person is looking to purchase a new watch. They need to consider the functions they need, the color or material they are looking for, a brand they may prefer, and whether they want a luxury watch or a casual watch, and whether they want a watch that is digital or analog. The selections are vast, so much so that it can be mind boggling to...

Panniers are more than a sometimes necessary accessory, they are a feature that can enhance the look of your bike if they right ones are chosen. The right pannier should be an extension of the bike, not at all obtrusive but still big enough to fit what you need. For the original Harley Davidson of yester year (think back to the days of the "Easy Rider"), soft leather saddlebags were the only way to go. Now with the modern Harley Davidson bikes we have a broad selection of saddle bags and panniers to suit depending on the look and function required and the style of Harley you have- whether it be a tourer, sports or classic bike. Hard bags are better than soft bags if you like the freedom of pulling...

The grey market is broadly defined as those over the age of 50 (Although sometimes figures include those over the age of 45). This growing group of consumers represent a sizeable market for many providers of goods and services, yet is often misunderstood or even overlooked. Brands as diverse as Saga and Harley Davison have successfully managed to build sizeable revenue from the grey market. As the profile of the older consumer changes more than ever before, maybe you should reconsider your perceptions of this important market. The first point to consider is that the grey market contains many different shades. Older people cover a wide spectrum of ages, and those over the age of 75 often have very...

cting your property from theft and damage is a very important part of life. Why? Quite simply because you have a lot of time, money and love invested into them, and so securing them (at least from a financial perspective) makes a lot of sense. So, buying insurance should be one of your main priorities each time you add a home, change jobs etc.in your life. Equally, it is not just your home and life that needs insurance. That little (or big!) two wheeled beauty sitting on your driveway also needs it. Motorcycle insurance protects the investment that you make in your new Harley or other bike so that you can drive it down the road and park it in your garage without worrying about wrecking it or having...

There are more ways to use free printable greeting cards than the obvious one of sending greetings to family and friends. I came up with three "Think outside the fold" ideas to use quarter fold printable greeting cards that you may fine useful, so I thought I would share them with you. Idea #1 Use a quarter-fold free printable greeting card as a candy bag for Halloween. It is just around the corner...you know...the time when ghosts and goblins will be running loose in the streets looking for treats or passing out tricks. The bags I am talking about are treat bags to be handed out to all these little demons. Simply take a Halloween version of a free printable Halloween card and fill the back fold...

In this crazy world we live in we all could use some expert advice on almost every subject, but when it comes to navigating the stormy seas of finance, calling upon an expert could be vital in preparing the rest of your life. The difference between retiring in comfort or in a shotgun shack or the difference of sending your kids to Stanford or Harvard instead of the local junior college could depend on your investment decisions. Using a financial advisor could show you how to make money faster, or with a long-term vision will ultimately make your life much nicer. Most of us have basic ideas of how we should save money for our futures that we need to prepare for our children's future education goals...

Good news... Have you got your eyes on a new Harley? Maybe a Kawasaki or a Honda? There's nothing like the feel and the freedom that comes from owning a great bike. Having bad credit can stand in the way of getting one if you don't know how to get a motorcycle loan. Past due accounts, collections, liens, judgments, charged off credit cards and others are taboo when it comes to getting a recreational loan. This is because most normal loan companies consider you to be a very high risk applicant if you've shown any signs of financial instability in the last few years. Most people will make darn sure their car doesn't get repossessed. Motorcycles are a luxury and a little more common to be snatched back...

There are a great variety of men in this world. But, I can generalize about three of them in terms of love and romance. The first is just about every man's envy and every woman's dream. He knows what he wants. He gets what he wants. And he appreciates her. The other two are at two opposite extremes. One of them gets the girl every man dreams about and he has no idea how to treat her. In fact, he doesn't treat her right at all and nearly everyone hates him for it. The final guy is the guy who deserves love and romance. He would know how to treat a woman. In fact, he does roll-play in his mind all day long. He is attentive and caring and the ladies notice these qualities right off the bat. They just...

My family and I drive from Minnesota to Colorado each summer for our vacation. Our trip typically occurs in early August, which means that on the trek home, we share the highways and Interstates with thousands of bikers who are driving to or returning from the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in Sturgis, South Dakota. Few groups of people in America are as colorful and fascinating as Sturgis attendees, and in observing them I have learned a few things that can be applied to the solopreneur life. 1. Invest in great equipment. I estimate that at least 99 percent of Sturgis participants ride Harley-Davidson motorcycles. Harleys are the bike of choice for Sturgis because they can cover hundreds of miles, day...

Choppers are part of American history and will be through the ages. However, what are new to the copper world are metric choppers. Harley Davidson and Indian have always been the best known bikes for being choppers, but now owners of Honda's, Yamaha's, Suzuki's and Kawasaki's are looking to individualize their motorcycles in much the same way. Unlike Harley and Indian owners there are not as many options for places to go to get such work done. Often time's owners have to ship or transport their beloved machine to shop out of state and sometimes even multiple states away to get custom work done, let alone quality custom work done. You can't trust your precious machine to just anyone. Honda VTX 1300...

When you think of big touring motorcycles, do the big Harley Davidson cruisers easily come to mind? Or, does a big Honda Gold Wing with all of the doo-dads, lights and a trailer on the back make you think, "now, THAT'S a touring bike!" If either of these big bikes comes to mind, then you're not alone. But, are these two big touring bikes the last word on touring motorcycles? Some motorcycle riders have to have a full fairing and windshield, while others insist upon a face full of pure air hitting their helmet at 80 miles per hour, no fairing and leather saddlebags holding a change of clothes and lunch. This can be a touring bike as well, but probably is not one that easily comes to mind. Surely...

There comes a time in everyone's life when motorcycles become not only interesting but accessible, for me this was aged 15, and at 16 I had my first motorbike. The bike in question was a Suzuki ZR50 which was built like an old school chopper, with the seat, and handlebars to match, despite its blistering 28mph top speed! But unlike my friends who took an interest in the sports style motorcycles, I was hooked on the custom chopper and Harley Davidson scene. My ZR50 spent quite a lot of time in bits, I painted it up by myself, tricked up the engine to a new top speed if 48mph and I even painted a design of Eddy from Iron Maiden on one of the plastic farings. That was 1987 and since then the custom...

Everything I know about a Harley-Davidson could probably be summed up in the Thunder Across the Prairie a biker race that happens every fall as bikers gather to race along the Arkansas Valley for Charity. However, I do recognize the name Harley-Davidson, and I know the sound of the bike as it thunders along the highway. But, did you know that Harley-Davidson makes more money on 'other stuff' than they do on bikes? What makes their STUFF so valuable? The Brand implanted on their alternative purchases indicates a specific kind of value. You wear the logo, you epitomize a specific kind of person. When I was younger I steered clear of bikers, Harley-Davidson types with leather bindings on every part of...

Tattoos and the practice of tattooing are steeped in ceremony and symbolism with tribal origins that date back centuries. Today, getting tattooed is commonplace and tattoos no longer carry the stigma of being the shadowy trade it once was perceived to be in the western world. There are special events, gatherings, and conventions all over the planet to celebrate and showcase the art of inked skin and those who use their bodies as a living canvas, and to praise the work of the extremely talented and skilled tattooists. Tattoos are a form of personal expression and have meaning to the person bearing them and hopefully the marriage of skin and ink will live happily ever after. However, there is an...

We've all seen them out on the freeway at one time or another: bikers cruising along at 90 mph with no helmet, wearing open-toed sandals, with bare arms and a single-ply t-shirt flapping behind them in the breeze. Some people sarcastically call such riders "organ donors," but a better term might simply be "unwise." If you are new to riding, here is some of the basic must-have biker gear for the wise motorcycle rider. -- Helmet The purpose of a good helmet is two-fold: to protect the head from the hard asphalt and to absorb the shock of the impact in order to minimize damage. Choose a design that incorporates a good layer of polysterene foam that will help to prevent the transfer of energy from the...

In the spring of 2002 while talking to some of my riding buddies the subject of the ABC's of Touring came up. The ABC's of Touring is a contest sponsored by HOG, the Harley Owners Group where you take pictures of your motorcycle in front of a state or county sign, a HOG rally banner or other event specified, all with a current issue of HOG Tales in the photo for proof. We talked about how it would be nice to get into the list of the ten runners-up because we didn't think we could actually place in the top 3 spots; one of the guys had met the rider who posted 166 points a few years earlier, during the Route 66 tour when it came through town, and that seemed like an unreachable goal at the time...

When it comes to comfort when riding a aftermarket bike seat is a must. Motorcycle Seats are produced by a variety of manufacturers. The main ones being Sargent, Corbin and Mustang. When choosing a motorcycle seat there are really two factors that come in to play. One is definitely the look of the seat on your bike and the other is the comfort level that can be achieved by the upgrade. Most of your bike seats these days are made of a memory cell foam or some such material that is highly durable. It will actually almost act like a second shock absorber. I upgraded from my stock bench to a Corbin seat and it was a night and day difference. Corbin Seats use a material called comfort cell foam which is...

When learning to play guitar by ear the name of the game is tomake a conscious decision to pay attention to the soundsaround us. How do people play by ear ... by making a mental note of audioinformation with the intention of recalling this information at alater time.

Apart from a person who is deaf, everyone can hear. Hearing isnot the same as listening. An example of hearing would be you 'hear' a motorbike drive pastyou in the street.

There are many reasons to frequently clean your motorcycle including; style, boasting rights, vehicle maintenance, and overall satisfaction. While it is important to clean your motorcycle frequently while riding it to get the best performance out of it and to preserve paint jobs, one of the most important cleanings your motorcycle will get is the one it gets right before you put it up for the wintertime.

Everyone has to start somewhere as a rider. And when you are getting your very first Yamaha Motorbike insurance policy, there are several things you should know. This is something of a tricky subject and one that should be discussed thoroughly with your Yamaha Motorbike Insurance Agent, but here I will try to lay out a few point to give you an idea of what the situation is with New Riders or Learner's Bike insurance. Insurance companies attribute the current largest growth in the motorbike industry to a group of individuals that are considered middle-aged. These consumers begin riding later in life for many reasons. Sometimes it is as simple as always wanting a bike and never being able to afford...

In a world dominated by vintage Harley Davidsons, and timeless classics such as the Triumph Bonneville, few true enthusiasts have ever heard of the rich history of BSA Motorcycles. Having had a long standing part in the development and growth of motorcycle history, BSA has become an almost forgotten relic of sheer simplicity and an unbridled connectedness to the open road. Though the roads are now overrun with powerful, streamlined sportbikes with ever expanding capabilities and flickability, classics like the creations of Birmingham Small Arms were one of the originators of the sport, and helped to make it what it has become. Before its untimely demise in the early 1970s, Birmingham Small Arms was...

Roy Suarez Garcia (19452003) AKA "Chicano Roy" was an American motorcyle builder and inventor. He is credited with developing the idea of molding shapes and designs from the frame to the gas tank, and he designed the first pop-off gas tank, a significant improvement for motorcycle safety and repair. From 1977 to 1982, Chicano Roy was the first Hispanic motorcycle chopper builder to conquer the custom motorcycle magazine world, with his right hand man, and youngest brother of 10, David Garcia. These magazines included Easyrider, Big Bike, Street Chopper, Custom Bike, Chopper, Iron Horse and others. Chicano Roy was the first to invent items including but not limited to, the "Molded Frame" which is a...

I had a set of Harley Davidson grips that I had installed when I got Electra-Glide Ultra 2 years ago (in fact, today is the 2 year anniversary of when I picked my bike up!). As much as I love my HD, I can't say the same for the HD heated grips. I've had them replaced about three times in the past two years for intermittent operation. When it happened again this year, the dealer balked. I can't blame them sine HD Corporate won't reimburse them for my grips anymore. Remember, they operate intermittently, and when sent back to HD, of course they worked! So this year I replaced my heated grips with some from Kuryakyn. They are different form the HD heated grips in that the heating element is an integral...

Custom motorcycles are modified to reflect the style, the vision and the artistic preference of a rider. You can customize any bike from a Harley Davidson to a Yamaha, Suzuki or Honda. Custom motorcycles stand out from the crowd and give an immense satisfaction to the rider. There are many companies that presently produce performance and custom parts for bikes, which enables motorcycle owners not only to personalize their bikes but also to improve or upgrade their performance. The customization options are thus anything but scarce. While some modifications apply solely to design and involve changes of painting style or the use of chrome parts, others include serious modifications of the technical...

If you are new to stock trading, welcome! It is a wild, exciting and dangerous world you are stepping into, so it's best to have a strong grasp of the basics. Let's start with the stock symbol. What exactly is this? For example, let's look at HOG. This is the symbol/ticker symbol/stock symbol for Harley Davidson. (Perhaps you've heard of them...) The symbol HOG represents Harley Davidson in the stock market. MCD is the symbol that represents McDonald's. Symbols are used because it would be very confusing if the entire names of companies were used. This just makes it short and sweet. Shares. What is a share? Let's imagine a pie cut up into slices. A share of a stock is similar to a slice of pie in...

My first motorcycle was a 1943 Flat Head Harley Davidson. When I found the bike for sale I had no money, but I knew I wanted this dream machine. I wasn't making enough money to pay for it so I needed a plan. I came up with a way to raise money and throw a great party at the same time. I organized a Poker Run. I made enough money to buy the Harley, had a few bucks left over and had allot of fun along the way. The Poker Run was originally an event bikers played out on their Harley, but over the years it has been borrowed by Boaters, Runners, Bicyclist and I'm sure by others as well. The concept of a Poker Run is to travel a course or route and while doing so pick up poker cards along the way. Each...
