| Article Title :: Motorcycle Thoughts |
| |
| I've heard many non-motorcyclists make stereo-typical and condescending remarks alluding to the mentality of motorcyclists. Comments which classify riders into groups depending on what type or make of motorcycle one rides. What kind of pessimistic person would deem a “Harley” rider a ‘bad-boy, looking for a fight’ or a sport-bike rider an ‘irresponsible punk, trying to go fast’? It seems to me that most people who have never ridden a motorcycle make these types of interpretations out of fear or ignorance. While it is true that there are those motorcycle riders who DO fit the stereo-typical persona, it is also true that there are more absent-minded and oblivious drivers of (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Effective Motorcycle Security |
| |
| On the whole, motorcycle owners put more love and care into their machines
than do owners of cars or trucks. That "love and care" directly translates into
hundreds of dollars spent on customizations and maintenance. Sadly, between
30,000 to 50,000 bikes are stolen each year in the United States alone (based on
theft rates from 2000 through 2005). And to think, many of these thefts could have
been prevented with a little common sense and security.Common Sense This should go without saying, but don't leave the keys in
the ignition or the motor running when you're not on the bike! Never leave your
bike in a dimly lit, hard to see location. Put the bike in you (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Upgrading the Stock Air Box on Your Victory Motorcycle |
| |
| Removing the Stock Air Intake System on a Victory MotorcycleWith the basic need of all motorcyclists being the need for more horsepower. I decided to upgrade my Victory motorcycle from the stock air intake to a custom aftermarket air filter. Why? The stock air boxes are often too restrictive. They do not allow enough air to freely flow into the engine. The Victory stock air box is a mechanical suction. The air is sucked in through the left side of the coffin like air box. There are a few modifications that can be done to the stock filter to get a direct flow of air into the throttle bodies. But these require drilling ugly 1-inch holes in the front of your cheap looking plastic air (read full article) |
