| |
| 1. There are a lot more cars and trucks than motorcycles on the road, and some drivers don't "recognize" a motorcycle; they ignore it (usually unintentionally).

| Article Title :: A Hazardous Sport - BE PREPARED! |
| |
| Quality motorcycle gear combines comfort, style, fit, durability, weather protection, and armor. The bottom line with equipment is, you WILL eventually fall, and when you do, you will most likely become very close friends with the pavement. So you need the "maximum impact and abrasion resistance" as possible.Armor is extra padding sewn into the jacket or pants to cushion likely spots of impact. Road rash is the not so fun part about riding a motorcycle. It is painful and bloody, but impacts can cause serious and sometimes fatal internal damage. So shoulders, elbows, buttocks, and knees are spots that you want to be well protected, as they are the most common of impact points. In a (read full article) |

| Article Title :: A Guide to Modern Motor Scooters |
| |

Up to that time there were no motors attached to the scooter. They were propelled by “foot power.”The old-fashioned foot-powered push scooter was updated to a Razor motor scooter under the direction of Gino Tsai, whose father was a mechanical engineer for the J. D. Corporation in Shanghai, Taiwan. His motor scooter took about 5 years to design.Gino Tsai claims that the reason he invented the Razor motor scooter was due to the fact that his father had to walk for miles every day around the huge bicyc (read full article) |

| Article Title :: When Looking to Purchase a Motorcycle Cover |
| |
| Your first step in buying a motorcycle cover is deciding if you are going to use it indoors or outdoors. If you choose an indoor cover, most can only be used indoors. They provide a nice soft touch to your motorcycle. They do a great job keeping the dust off, but most if not all are not weather resistant or waterproof. Also most indoor covers can not be put on a hot motorcycle. They do not offer the lower heat panels to protect from the exhaust pipes. If you are sure it will only be used indoors your best bet would be the Dowco Duster motorcycle cover. A less expensive and lightweight cover the Dowco StoreAway motorcycle cover should be fine. If you know the motorcycle will be stored outs (read full article) |
