Alpinestars Supertech R boot model 2008 2007-08-27 15:06:06
This is Model Alpinestars Supertech R 2008 motorcycle boots
The eagle-eyed race fans among you might have spotted that Alpinestars Repsol Honda MotoGP duo Nicky Hayden and Dani Pedrosa have both been wearing some dinky new AStars Supertech R boots this season. Turns out the Repsol Honda pair have been doing a bit of R&D work for the Italian company.
The new Supertech R is a complete overhaul of the boot it replaces, the old Supertech. It’s lighter, sleeker (less bulky), easier to get in and out of, has a beefed up but comfier inner boot offering the same torsional protection for your ankle as the old boots but they seem to weigh about half a kilo less. I’ve been wearing the old Supertechs since they came out in 2002 and don’t feel as secure in anything else. Needless to say, there’s a size 41 pair headed this way for testing. Unless JP hi-jacks my order and insists on a pair for his massive plates (of meat).
They look good in the office, hopefully the Read more:model
Motorcycle Suspension Basic Set Up 2007-10-13 14:53:05
Modern sporting motorcycles can come with a near dizzying array of suspension adjustability. Pre-load, compression damping, rebound, high-speed damping, low-speed damping, etc. Where to start?
Before you start looking over your bike to see what we’re talking about, please note this article is primarily intended for the sport bike rider. Most cruisers have little or no suspension adjustability. You either live with what the factory gave you, you have your suspension components upgraded with after market units, or have the internal bits replaced by a professional.
The easiest and most important adjustment you can make is to set the static sag. Sag is just what it sounds like - how much the bike sags when you’re on it.
Ideally your sag should be from 25 to 30 mm, or 1 to 1 ½ inches, on most bikes. To find out where your sag is, you’ll need a helper. Dress up in all your usual riding apparel, including helmet, leathers, boots, etc. You want to set your sag using the sam Read more:Motorcycle

How To Buy A Harley 2007-10-13 14:33:55
So, you’ve decided to buy a Harley
. Excellent. Owning a Harley Davidson motorcycle is like having your very own slice of the American dream. You know the one, the one that involves having a ’57 Chevy or an original Ford Mustang. It gives you a feeling that really is hard to explain, but you feel the pride of ownership from your rear-end sitting comfortably in the saddle all the way to your fingertips as you twist the throttle. You feel it from the sound of those pipes going blap, blap, blap down the road to seeing kids and/or adults waving at you as you pass by on a long stretch of country road.
Unfortunately, buying a Harley at a dealership can be a daunting task. The pressure you get from the salesmen can sometimes scare you right back out the front door. It’s not their fault, they are simply trying to make a living. Heck, most of them are paid by 100% commission. If they don’t sell, they don’t eat and unfortunately our bodies require food every day to
How To Get Your Motorcycle Licence 2007-10-13 13:05:31 To get a motorcycle licence you must be 17 or older. Before you can hit the road, you must first a provisional motorcycle licence and then complete your compulsory basic training (CBT) to validate your provisional licence. You will then be allowed to ride a light motorcycle as a learner with some restrictions in place.
The next step to getting a full motorbike licence is to pass the motorcycle theory test. Finally, you must successfully complete a motorcycle practical test. If you pass the practical test you will be issued with your full motorcycle licence.
There are some situations in which you are exempt from having to do the CBT and the motorcycle theory test. There are also different types of motorcycle licences. I will cover the options in detail.

If you are 17 or over, you can obtain a provisional motorcycle licence by submitting an application to the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA). The application form is called the D1 form and you can
Motorcycle Seats For A Smooth Journey 2007-10-12 14:24:58
Are you thinking about buying a brand new motorcycle that you have always dreamed about? Apart from the power and speed that the motorcycle possesses, another very important thing that everyone looks for in a good motorcycle is a comfortable seat. Different kinds of motorcycles are equipped with different kinds of seats. The comfort of the seat determines the how convenient the journey would be. Imagine being on a long distance journey on your motorcycle, with a seat that is so uncomfortable that you hardly sit for a short while, without getting tired. Wouldn’t that be quite annoying?
There are many different types of motorcycle seats. Most of the seats of the motorcycles are made from leather. However, there are many custom made seats that are made from exotic skins, like elephant skin, alligator skin, shark skins, ostrich skin and many others. The custom motorcycle seats are made according to the customer’s specification and preference.

How To Get Your Moped Licence 2007-10-12 13:02:50 How To Get Your Moped Licence
Moped Licence If you have reached the age of 16 you can get a moped licence. Before you can start riding a moped on the road, you must first get your provisional moped licence and then complete your compulsory basic training (CBT). You can then start riding a moped on the road as a learner with some restrictions in place e.g. your moped must have L plates. A moped is any motorcycle which has:
* an engine capacity of no greater than 50cc * a max speed of 31 mph (50 kph) * a weight no more than 250kg
The next step towards getting your full moped licence is the motorcycle theory test. When you’ve passed this test you can book your practical moped test. Success in the practical moped test will get you a full moped licence (also called a full category P entitlement). This allows you to ride your moped without the provisional licence restrictions.

Tips to Buying Motorcycle Protective Clothing - 7 Things You Must Know 2007-10-11 14:21:10
This can be a little overwhelming considering the choices of material, quality and brands available in the market. Here are some things you should know (that might save your skin or life!) before you make your purchase:
1) Your motorcycle shop should be your first place to start your shopping, If you’re buying a bike, see if can get the clothing into the financing deal. This way, you can negotiate a better deal and do not have to pay up front for the gears.
2) Get a full set of motorcycle clothing which includes helmet, jacket, boots, pants, gloves and glasses. A complete set gives you complete protection. Why would you want to risk any parts of your body with injuries? Each piece of the clothing plays an important role in protecting the specific part of the body they are supposed to.
3) Aesthetics should always be secondary to protective quality. If you have to choose between looking good and having your fingers or toes intact after a ride, what would it be? The answer is obvio Read more:Motorcycle

Motorcycle Schools 2007-10-11 13:00:48 There are three common courses that can be taken at various motorcycle schools to be fully qualified on the big bikes, (35kW -46.6 bhp) for riders aged 21 or over. This will be your last step in getting yourself on the road. When this test is passed you can immediately ride any size motorcycle without learner restrictions, and carry passengers. The three training options that can be taken at motorcycle schools are covered below.
Essentials of the Direct Access Scheme
* Most motorcycle schools will offer a free evaluation if it has been a while since you completed your CBT
* The DAS will run from 3 days – 6 days depending on your experience
* Most motorcycle schools will offer a guaranteed pass with the 6 day course; however I would recommend clarifying this before you book
* It’s not cheap, so set aside about £300 for the 3 day, and add an extra £100 for each day you add onto that
* The price should include insurance, bike hire and test fees

What Automobile Drivers Should Know About Motorcycles 2007-10-09 14:14:57
This article will discuss the characteristics of motorcycles in everyday traffic situations. Automobile
drivers, also known as Cagers, need to be aware that a motorcyclist will often slow down their motorcycle by down shifting or by simply rolling off the throttle. What this means is that the brake light is not activated. Given this knowledge, we advise that motorists allow more following distance to give motorcyclists and yourself more room to maneuver. Common sense also dictates that you predict a motorcyclist may slow down at intersections without visual warning.
Motorcyclists use both their turn signals and hand motions to announce a lane change or turn. Some motorcyclist forgets to cancel their turn signals. Although newer models have built in self-canceling turn signals, some beginners and experts may still forget to cancel their signal. So, make sure a motorcycle’s signal is valid.
A motorcyclist will often adjust their position within their lane. This is mainly for bette Read more:Drivers

You must have a provisional moped or motorcycle licence to book your motorcycle theory test. The test is run by the Driving Standards Agency (DSA) and you can do the test at one of almost 200 DSA Theory Test Centres around the UK.

Flat Motorcycle Tires 2007-10-08 14:10:04 Motorcycle
s with flat tires . . . roll hard! If your motorcycle is cruising along at 55 mph and your rear motorcycle tire suddenly deflates [has a blow out!] you now have a tremendously, dangerous challenge ahead of you. Avoiding other vehicles, controlling the steering, a swaying rear-end making everything unstable makes for a sizable victory when you roll off the side of the road and come to a stop. Congratulations, job well done! More riders than not end in an accident or something worse. All because of their motorcycle tires. Who knows your thoughts if it is the front tire to blow? You better be prayed up.
We all want a sharp looking bike. Once you select your make and model, your interest is on chrome, color, accessories, personal appearance, dress etc. but let us not forget about the importance of the rubber motorcycle tires that get us around. Frame, structure and engine all work together and hopefully are worry free for years. Motorcycle tires keep moving and we need to often
Motorcycle Leather Jackets are best? 2007-10-08 13:21:34 There is no good way to really start out writing about the topic of motorcycle leather jackets without mentioning the history, or little bit of the background information about the motorcycle jacket as it stands today, giving the generations after its’ fashionable push a new way to glimpse the motorcycle jacket as more than just for motorcyclists. Classically motorcycle jackets are tough and usually leather jackets with linings to keep the motorcycle rider warm throughout whatever length their trip goes, and the leather makes the rider able to struggle through the erosive pull of the wind.
Directing most of this through the manufacturing process is usually a person who has the ability to keep the machines moving, as the manufacturing process becomes much more mechanical to save costs on the materials being combined with the effort, and the brands that create their own spin on the leather motorcycle jacket become more unique as the times begin to shift trends in a new direction.

Compulsory Basic Training - CBT 2007-10-08 12:11:11 Essentials of Compulsory BasicTraining
You do not need any previous riding experience to do your compulsory basic training.
The CBT is not a test which you can fail, so if you complete the day’s training you will be issued with your DL196 certificate. The DL196 certificate is a legal document which you must have to validate your provisional motorcycle or moped licence.
When you receive your provisional moped licence or your provisional motorcycle licence, you must do your compulsory basic training before you can ride a motorbike on the road.
If you hold a full car driving licence and it has a provisional category A entitlement (provisional motorcycle licence), then you must also do your compulsory basic training before you can ride a light motorcycle as a learner on the road.
If you gained your full moped licence prior to 1 Dec 1990, then you must do your compulsory basic training again to validate the provisional motorcycle licence and be allowed to ride a light motorcycle as a
You Paid Way Too Much For Your Motorcycle! 2007-10-07 13:27:41
The thought of someone loosing their possessions kind of splits me down the middle of what I should feel. One half of me feels really bad for that person. I could not begin to imagine what it is like to have someone come in and take my stuff from me because I could not afford it. The other half of me is kind of excited because I want what they had.
I started looking into motorcycle auctions because of Bike Week in Daytona Florida. There was a guy down there who had a sick looking set of wheels. It was a 1958 Harley and brother and sisters, let me tell you, it was mint. I could not stop looking at this bike. I am not by any means a biker. The guy who owned this bike knew it because of the questions I was asking. Long story short, he and I became good friends. We chatted over the internet about business interest they we each have.

Motorcycle Helmets be smart 2007-10-06 13:20:14 For many riders, motorcycle helmets do not fit into their dream accessory. They feel helmets are restrictive and unnecessary and do not add to their aesthetic appeal. But it is important to know why you need to wear a helmet while riding a bike and what it does for you.
Motorcycle
helmets act as a protection device for your head. Nearly all motor crashes in which riders do not wear helmets, result in major head injuries. To drive this point further, according to a survey done in the state of California, in 900 crashes, there were 980 head and neck injuries. The major factor was that most riders were not wearing proper headgear.
Canada has made it a mandatory rule for motorbike riders to wear helmets after seeing the way people die in these accidents. But in the USA, in some states, it still remains a choice for the rider – so it is for you to decide what is more precious to you.
Hopefully, now that you are convinced about purchasing a helmet, let us see some of the things that you sh Read more:Helmets

Read My Motorcycle’s Spark Plugs 2007-10-18 15:22:12
This past weekend, I installed new spark plugs in my Toyota truck. So while it is fresh in my mind I wanted to cover the basics of how to read a spark plug, from the point of view of weekend mechanic.
First let’s cover the basic functions of the spark plug.
The spark plug has two primary functions:
1. Ignite air/fuel mixture 2. Transfer heat from the combustion chamber
Now that you know what a spark plug does, lets discuss how to remove the plugs.
This may be common sense, but please allow the engine and exhaust to cool down prior to performing this task.
1. With the engine cooled, disconnect the spark plug wire caps where they connect to the plug inside the cylinder head. My advice is to very gently pull of the wire caps. On one set I yanked at the wire cap and stripped out the inside. This was dumb, but it allowed me to buy a nice set of red wires.
2. With the spark plug wire caps removed, I suggest cleaning out the area around the plug. The best way to do this is with compres Read more:Motorcycle

After Market Motorcycle Parts 2007-10-17 15:19:01
Learn about after market motorcycle parts including what they are and what you can use them for.
After market motorcycle parts are parts that are bought and sold through an after market dealer. These dealers usually work within a network of parts suppliers, dealers and manufacturers. They carry parts that are used, salvaged and that also come straight from the dealer. After market parts dealers are a great resource for people who own a motorcycle.
The first type of after market motorcycle parts that after market parts dealers carry and trade are used parts. These parts have been acquired through personal searches conducted by the dealer, by trades made by the dealer for other parts and by ordering the parts from another dealer in their parts trade network. You can feel confident buying parts from after market parts dealers because they usually test and clean the part to make sure that it is still functional.

Buying a Mini Bike 2007-10-16 15:14:07 Buying
a mini bike on line is becoming the preferred approach for many mini bike users. It allows you to buy a mini bike very easily and quickly and often mini bikes on line are cheaper then those in the stores. However there are certain things you should ensure.
Firstly, make sure you know exactly what you are buying, it may be better to see if they have a showroom or warehouse where you can check the bikes out before you buy them if you are unsure. All good mini bike sites will give a good description of the bikes you can buy, as well as the exact specification.
If you are purchasing a mini bike from a well established reputable on line dealer then it is likely that there will be no problems, as they will be honest about the bike and often offer a warranty of some kind as well as free shipping.

Motorcycle Gloves An Important Motorcycle Accessory 2007-10-15 14:59:07 Motorcycle
riders use a number of motorcycle accessories like helmets, jackets, gloves etc. which can protect them from injuries in case of any accident. Motorcycle gloves are one of the most important accessories for motorcycle riders.
Motorcycle gloves have much wider utility as compared to ordinary leather gloves that are just used to keep hands during winter and to maintain grip. Motorcycle gloves act as jackets for hands and in case of any accident they take the hit instead of our precious hands. The palms of hands have number of nerves and blood vessels and if we imagine your bare outstretched hands hitting the concrete and sliding at speed, we will clearly understand the importance of motorcycle gloves.
Gloves
come in many styles, colors and materials. So one can choose a glove according to his/her choice and need. Mesh or perforated leather gloves are best suited for people who ride in warm weather these gloves offer ventilation to keep hands cool and thus one won’t temp Read more:Accessory
New To Motorcycles? Learn The Basics 2007-10-22 15:29:54
Interested in motorcycles? Who can blame you! Motorcycles
reek of coolness, but before you jump into the motorcycle riding scene, you need to learn the basics of the bike!
Stand Up Straight Please
It’s mind boggling how they do it, but motorcycles stay upright while they are moving due to some pretty advanced physics. A still motorcycle will lean over without some sort of support. But a moving motorcycle will stay upright without much effort thanks to a couple of little things called angular momentum and torque.
To see these physics at work, imagine that you’re holding a bat in your palm with the heavy end up. It’s going to tip over, right? It’s too unsteady. Now imagine that you’re wiggling your palm in an effort to always keep it directly under the heavy end of the bat. Suddenly the bat is steady. That’s how motorcycles stay upright.

Getting Parts For A Motorcycle 2007-10-21 15:28:23
Tune-ups don’t require ignition coil replacements. Sometimes you need to replace the spark plug caps on the ends of the wires, though. The resistance value should be around 5K ohms. Honda Tune up kits generally has plugs, points and condensers in them, as a set. The number of miles you have on the bike engine and the overall care it has had makes a lot of difference in what you will need and what may keep going for you, for a while.
The tools that came in your kit, if complete, could barely get you by on repairs/tune-ups. If you own a bike, you need to know about how to repair it and have the tools to do the job. You can go to Wal-Mart, Costco and elsewhere and get giant tool packages for $100 or less that will get you going pretty well. An Impact Driver with a selection of bits and a good hammer will be a good investment! Steel screws, resting in aluminum threads for such a long time will setup corrosion in the threads that can spell trouble in some cases.

History of Motorcycle Helmets 2007-10-20 15:27:03
The first motorcycle was invented by Gottlieb Daimler in 1885. I am not sure what the maximum speed capacity of those first motorcycles was but today in our busy society the speed means a lot. Probably no one even imagined about motorcycle helmets back then with speed not being an issue and the roads not being filled with millions of motor vehicles. But the speed is an issue today and so are the motorcycle helmets.
The first motorcycle helmet was invented by Prof. Charles F. Lombard who developed a unique energy absorbing helmet for the United States Air Force. So, the first motorcycle helmet was not designed as a motorcycle helmet but it was rather designed for aviation. Dr. Lombard patented his unique invention which was applied not only to aviation but also automobile racing, motorcycles, hockey, etc…

Motorcycle Riding Tips 2007-10-19 15:25:34
With Spring fast approaching I thought it would be a good idea to start publishing a few motorcycle riding tips that you can practice once you dust off your bike and get it ready for Daytona Bike week or your first spring ride. One thing I hear from a lot of motorcyclists is that they have been riding for some many years and do not need to practice any riding skills. This is just an ignorant statement to make and often fueled by ego and pride. I have seen veteran riders of twenty years; do the stupidest things on a motorcycle. Sure they have been riding for twenty years, but have they truly ever learned to really ride correctly with skill and confidence. Sure some have the natural motor skills to perform well on a motorcycle but these refresher tips are there to make you more competent on your motorcycle while also boosting your ego since others will be impressed by your riding skills. Honest, you will be amazed how people notice a good competent rider.

How To Insure Your Motorbike 2007-10-25 17:24:34
With the increase in attention of motorbikes (thanks to the likes of Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman), more and more people are considering buying a motorbike for use as their main mode of transport. While buying a motorbike may be a hassle in itself, getting insurance for it is another thing to worry about. However, there are certain factors insurance companies use to see if you qualify for their insurance policies and also to calculate your premium rates.
One of the first things they consider is you, the driver. The most common issues are your age, where you live, where you work and your driving history. Age is considered because the older you are, the lower the premium rates would be. However, this rule would be null and void if you’re a beginner in the world of motorcycling. Where you live and work is also an issue in terms of where you would park your motorbike when it’s not in use. Is it in a secure and well-lit area or parked beside a kerb on an open road?
