Motorcycle Helmet Review 2007-10-24 17:20:59
’If you got a $50 head, then get yourself a $50 lid!’
That’s the advice I was given before buying my first motorcycle helmet. It’s the best buying advice I’ve ever had too! Choosing a motorcycle helmet is, in the end, a personal choice but it’s pretty obvious that you generally get what you pay for.
There are various types, all of which have their strengths and weaknesses. Here’s a list of the those available:
Full face motorcycle helmets provide the most protection of all the helmet types and they encase the rider’s entire head. You may find some (the cheaper ones) lacking in comfort and freedom.
Hybrid or Flip-up face motorcycle helmets would give you more visibility but, as, if the ’flip’ is ’up’ it doesn’t encase the entire head, the chin is left vulnerable.
Open face helmets also known as a three quarter motorcycle helmets provide protection for the skull, ears and the side of the face. This type of Read more:Motorcycle

KBC Helmet Review - A Rider’s Perspective 2007-10-23 17:16:56 KBC helmets have a reputation for being a great value for the money. We’ll examine some of the details of the VR series helmets to determine if they truly are a good value or if the old addage "you get what you pay for" holds true.
One of the best assets of the KBC helmet is the noise level. The VR series KBC helmets are among the quietest that I’ve ever worn. KBC uses a proprietary visor sealing system that contributes to the low noise levels of the helmet.
Comfort levels are adequate. The VR series KBC helmet is not the most comfortable you will ever wear, but you also won’t be complaining about it except maybe on the longest of rides.
The weight of the helmet is very good for this price range. You can find a lighter helmet, but you’ll pay more for it. Additionally, the helmet "feels" light. Moving your head around for a quick traffic check feels very natural.
The sub-par ventilation system is a major reason that this helmet does not ge Read more:Helmet

Motorcycle Helmet Review - Shoei X-Eleven 2007-10-23 16:57:12
“If you’ve got a Shoei head, get a Shoei lid”
Shoei has been manufacturing motorcycle helmets for over 40 years and their current flagship model, the X-Eleven
, continues their tradition of high quality helmets that work as good as they look. The X-Eleven designers gathered real-life feedback from top Moto GP riders like Chris Vermeulen and refined their ideas in the wind tunnel to perfect it’s aerodynamic profile and ventilation system.
Appearance It may seem odd to begin with the look of the thing but, when you think about it, it’s the look that catches your attention, isn’t it? And, if you’re honest about it, the look of the lid plays a big part in whether you choose it or not. The X-Eleven comes in a large enough variety of paint schemes (including solid colors, original paint schemes and some replicas) that everyone should be able to find one they like.
As befits a flagship product, the X-Eleven are partially hand-painted and, as usual with Shoei, Read more:Motorcycle

Sell your mororcycle? 2007-10-29 17:39:25
In a previous article I talked about the impact a clean, well polished motorcycle can have on your price when selling a used bike. I also discussed the effect of including any unneeded parts and accessories in your bike sale. Here are a few more simple steps that can help you get the most cash for your current bike.
The tasks below should only take an hour or so to accomplish and should help to increase the value of your bike to prospective buyers. Just a bit of preparation will differentiate your bike from all the other used bikes for sale in your area.
Find Your Old Maintenance Records
If your old maintenance receipts are floating around your house, see if your can dig them up. Having records for all your past oil changes, tune-ups, tire changes etc. will set you apart from almost all other bike sellers. Since very few bike owners hold-on to their receipts, it’s just another way to demonstrate to buyers that you have taken very good care of the bike you’re selling.

Why Customize a street bike 2007-10-28 17:31:36
There are customized bikes…and then there are custom-built bikes.
What’s the difference between the two?
Cusstomized BikesWell, anyone who goes to a bike store and has the clerks there help him, or her, fit the bike properly, will usually "customize" their bike by choosing the kind of saddle they like (narrow or wide, gel-filled, etc.), different stem lengths for handlebar height, v-pull or disc brakes, etc.
You can continue to customize your bike with accessories such as bells, compasses, and lights - and you can even give it a paint job if you’re good at that sort of thing. (Indeed, I’ve got a Schwinn Sierra that’s about four years old, and I’ve been thinking of giving it a new coat of blue paint with yellow highlights. Unfortunately, I know I don’t have the skill to make it look even halfway decent.)
Road bikes are, obviously, built specifically to ride on roads, and aren’t suited for cross-country travel. The tires are ver
