Take Responsibility And Wear A Motorcycle Helmet

When wearing a helmet it is less likely that the motorcyclists will receive a serious head injury and more likely to survive the accident according to the The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Safety helmets for motorcycle users are the law in many states, optional in others. Especially so if the helmet is rated for safety and is properly fit to the wearer. Safety is what it's all about right.

Women Can Learn to Ride a Motorcycle

Many women have expressed the desire to learn to ride a motorcycle these days. It seems more and more female riders have been taking up the sport recently, and for good reason. Riding a motorcycle provides a thrill that is difficult to describe in words--you simply have to try it yourself to understand it. Learning to ride a motorcycle is not just limited to "the boys" any longer; it's now very common to see female riders cruising down the highway or carving through twisting canyon roads.
However, female motorcyclists do face certain challenges when it comes to choosing an appropriate motorcycle to ride. Most motorcycle manufacturers design motorcycles for riders who are around 5'10" tall, which would generally be very tall for a woman. Female riders are statistically shorter than men, so they require a motorcycle that has a lower seat height. Not only that, the seat should be a little more narrow as well, to let the female rider reach the ground completely with both her feet.

Motorcycle Protective Clothing

There is some great looking motorcycle clothing on the market these days, but believe me not all of the motorcycle clothing offers as much protection as you think. In Europe, for motorcycle clothing to be lawfully sold as “safety" clothing, it has to pass a series of European standards, which are pretty lengthy but are available on my website. The standards cover the clothing’s performance in abrasion, tearing and impact tests, and when they have passed; they are sold with the CE mark. However, no such regulation is available in the USA, so what should you look for?

Motorcycle Shippers

Most of us are going to need to ship our bikes at one point or another. The right motorcycle shippers will lower the anxiety `level that is always high whenever we hand our bikes over to anyone. To hand them over to a guy that doesn't really care is even harder.
One of the first things to consider when picking a motorcycle shipping service is their willingness and ability to come to your door. If the carrier can come to your house it makes the whole process easier.
The exception to this rule is if you live in a residential neighborhood where a tractor trailer does not have enough room to maneuver and turn around without creating a headache.
When the shipping company arrives, the next thing is loading the bike. The company that you want will supply a standard pallet and /or crating system.
