Posted by Kathryn Windmill on Wednesday, March 13, 2019 In : Guest Motorcycle Articles 
When you think about people who ride motorcycles what do you think about? Long hair, long beards, and leather? Do you think about macho men hanging out in dive bars playing pool and drinking beer? These are typically the images that are portrayed to us as your typical biker. However, people from all walks of life, race, and even sex encompass motorcycle riders. That is right guys; women can also be avid motorcycle riders. For those women that chose to be part of the motorcycle culture it is e...

Number of female riders growing

Posted by Kat Barker on Wednesday, March 13, 2019 In : Guest Motorcycle Articles 
It used to be pretty extremely uncommon to see a woman at the controls of a motorcycle. If a woman was on a bike, there was a guy in front and she was riding pillion. That started to change about 20 years ago and now women riders are the fastest growing segment in motorcycling. With their eyes ever set on trends in the industry, the motorcycle manufacturers are now targeting this group of potential customers with more bikes that fit their generally smaller stature. And as an added plus, this ...

Motorcycle Rider Experience

Posted by Liz Francis on Wednesday, March 13, 2019 In : Guest Motorcycle Articles 
There's lots of information out there that gives advice on how to choose your first motorcycle and choosing motorcycle gear when you're just starting out. I have my own opinions about that as well, but I'm not here to talk about that. I'm here to talk about what experts don't, what it's like to be a novice rider.



First, I'll admit that I bought a bike before I took the MSF class. (I have friends that bought new bikes before the course and the decision didn't always work out well) I bought a 20...

Women Motorcycle Riders

Posted by Kim Morgan on Wednesday, March 13, 2019 In : Guest Motorcycle Articles 
In the early 1900's William S. Harley and Arthur Davidson did some experimenting with electric bicycles and created the first motorcycle. This invention changed the world and was the catalyst for getting riding where it is today. Since then many with an adventuresome, free spirit that love to ride and see the world from the back of a motorcycle of their choosing have joined the ranks of riders. From that day those joining the ranks have not just been men but also women. Today women riders put...

Why take a motorcycle riding course

Posted by Martin Jones on Friday, March 8, 2019 In : Motorcycle Riding Skills 
Many more people are riding motorcycles today than ever before, especially women. Since I've been riding for 12 years now I have women ask me all the time about where they can start. They want to know if I took a Basic Motorcycle Course, and should they take one. They ask if I was afraid, and how did I know for sure that I wanted to ride. My advice to anyone, male or female, who is considering riding a motorcycle is simply this... take a basic course and you will know. I can't explain it, exc...

Motorcycle riding in the rain

Posted by David Morris on Friday, March 8, 2019 In : Motorcycle Safety 
Dull grey skies today, a steady heavy rain, poor visibility. An opportunity to impress the crowd with a textbook demonstration of wet weather riding skills.

One of the coolest things that you can do in these modern times is get on board a motorcycle.

If you have the alternator to power the stuff, and dealing with all the wires and thermostats doesn't get in your way... or the price tag... you can cut the layers... and invest in heated clothing... but the fact is... not that many bikes have the alternator power to run 'em... and you end up pulling the needed juice out of your battery...

Motorcycle riding tips

Posted by Martin Harris on Friday, March 8, 2019 In : Motorcycle Riding Skills 
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 th...

Can I get a pick up from my house?

Posted by David Davis on Wednesday, February 20, 2019 In : Guest Motorcycle Articles

This can save you money, and can also save you time by making sure that the deliveries are made to your clients as promptly as possible. However, not all couriers have this option. It is important therefore that you find out ahead of time if your courier company has options for multi stop shipments.
