The summer is coming up and the motorcycling community is currently going crazy about gear and accessories for the bike. Choosing your gear might not be all that simple since it's not just about the looks. Unlike car drivers, you don't have a metal cage to protect you, so you will need all the protection that you can comfortably wear. Besides the protection, there's a couple of other factors you should consider; the material, purpose of use, and fit of the outfit. Fit of your biking gear is important because if your jacket, for example, is loose, in case of an accident the protections might not be where they're supposed to be. I'm going to review two of the most common gear combinations that you...

Pit bikes, as implied by the name, achieved its origins in the pit area. Mainly used as a means of transport whilst setting up a race event, these contraptions were used by the crew to putt around the pit area. Much smaller in size and power when compared to the actual race bikes, these smaller bikes served their purpose in moving man and machinery around with deft precision. Perhaps due to an unexpected stroke of a brainchild, these bikes started to garner interest amongst wannabe racers. Their status was soon elevated from the pit area to the tracks and soon after, race events were created to honor these smaller bikes. Since pit bikes have now reached similar acclaim to that of their big brother...

Dirt jump biking is a sport which has been relatively small until recently where a rise in both mountain biking and BMX has caused this hybrid of the two to really come into its own. It combines the fitness and determination needed to be a successful mountain biker and the skill and guts of a bmx rider to create a whole new phenomenon. Dirt jump bikes are similar to normal mountain bikes in the basic design and build however they usually come with just suspension on the front and none on the rear. They are given the purpose of taking huge hits and falls which also means they have to be constructed tougher and therefore are often heavier than bikes used for racing. BMX bikes are also used when dirt...

There is no doubt the Honda CBR 1000RR is one of the hottest bikes on the market. It's reputation as a racing bike and one loved for street riding is irrefutable. Not all riders are in love with the stock look however and so there are many options on the market for improving the looks and sometimes the performance of the bike.

The deck is an important component of a skateboard. Simply put, the deck is a piece of wood or a wooden board the rider stands on. A skateboard comprises four wheels attached to two axles. The axles are known as trucks, and are mounted to the bottom of a wooden board called a deck. Usually, the decks are about 79 cm long and 20 cm wide. They are made of seven layers of Canadian maple veneer, which are pressed and glued together. Skateboard makers alternate the direction of the wood grain of each layer so that the deck does not split along the natural grain lines of the wood. Metallic decks or decks made of composite materials are rather rare. For downhill riding and street riding you should use...

Skateboard wheels are normally 52 mm to 60 mm and have their own ball bearings built in. Street skateboard wheels are usually very hard, which allows them to slow down quickly and store energy as you move along. Park wheels are usually made of a softer urethane for better bite and handling. Modern skateboard wheels are bidirectional, meaning that they can be attached in either direction unlike the wheels on a car or the back wheel of a...

Cyclists always know there are more challenges before the finish line, and willpower and sheer perseverance are as necessary as a finely-tuned body.

If you are interested in skateboarding, the most important thing to do is buy the best skateboard you can find. Before purchasing your first skateboard, try out your friends' skateboards, or ask other boarders about what they do and don't like about theirs. Before purchasing your skateboard, make sure that you know what to look for. The deck (or 'board') is the most important part. Most are made of plywood. The biggest difference here is between 7-ply boards and 9-ply. 9-ply are usually cheaper, but also heavier and difficult to work with. Cheaper decks are made of plastic, although these will not hold up to heavy use. Fiberglass or carbon board are both good choices that will be long-lasting. The...

However, changes in the way society perceives entertainment and in fact the definition of entertainment itself has led to a recent resurgence in popularity that has been prevalent in extreme sports since the turn of the millennium.

There are a zillion reasons why Vans Warped Touring Festival has become the greatest of all times. Out of all the reasons, the most predominant one is their insistent tendency to 'stay ahead of the curve' which in turn, provides them with a competitive advantage to gauge the changing tastes of the crowd. As a result of which, they are able to take tactical decisions such as calling upon the newbies and hooking them up in the tour. Once they do it, they build curiosity around the same. The feeling of 'not knowing what's in store for them' triggers the audience to explore, and people happen to pour in- in large numbers. Many a times, Vans Warped Tour has been able to showcase snowboarders performing...

A young man was arrested by the police and was taken to the emergency ward of a hospital, after he knocked down an 18years old girl with his power bike, and suffered multiple injuries himself. I watch as he tried to resist police arrest. He struggled and yelled at the top of his voice, bleeding from wounds on his left brow, forehead, right ankle, knees and left forearm. It took the effort of five able bodied policemen to bundle him into the waiting police van. He kicked and cursed as he was taken to the nearest hospital; he was actually bleeding profusely from the left brow and needed to be taken to the hospital fast. I followed the police van on a motor bike; I needed to see what happened at the...

The practice of motorcycle riding is getting more widespread and popular again, so with it biker tattoos are also gaining in popularity. Biker tattoos are associated with rebelling against authority and living life out on the road, although these days biker tattoos are somewhat more acceptable to the general populace as many bikers are not involved with outlaw gangs, but get pleasure from having a traditional cycle club tattoo. There is variation to the size of many of their tattoos but quite a large percentage of them take up a lot of skin. For those who are only week end bikers, may have only one or two tattoos, but for those whose intensity of commitment reaches stronger proportions, full sleeves...

Can we land the space shuttle on the moon? Some say it is impossible, but not all. One idea floated in an online think tank recently was to set up an aircraft carrier style arresting hook and allow the space shuttle to land on a flat area or semi hard run way. Of course such a crazy stunt could be risky, but what if it could be done? One guest to the online think tank thought for sure it could not work because a Space Shuttle would be in orbit around the moon at 530 meters per second and stated; "That's just a wee bit fast for an arrestor hook, or anything vaguely similar." Ah, but who says it has to be vaguely similar? When an idea such as this is thrown out in the abstract form. One needs to think...

ign="center"> Having worked with clients for over twenty years advising on insurance solutions, I have observed a very consistent theme when clients assess their assets and financial matters. This trend still leaves me somewhat perplexed yet forms the basis of much discussion with clients as I attempt to raise their awareness of the consequences of them focussing on insuring their personal possessions rather than insuring the individual's whose efforts have generated the current standard of consumption/living and will underpin future lifestyle through future income producing activity. Most clients I deal with will have basic cover against real property loss yet very few will have valued and insured...

Mountain Bikes for down hilling: What does the invention provide A mixture of agility and strength is involved in this hard sport called cross country racing. With a little strength, down hilling on bikes is nearly all technique. • Big tires, disc brakes, for comfort the long wheel...

They can be called "APV" by Arctic Cat, "RAVE" by Ski-Doo or "VES" by Polaris. If you own a 2-stroke snowmobile made in the last 15 years, the engine is likely equipped with "variable exhaust power valves". If that is the case, you probably know that you have to be quite diligent about their cleanliness and operation. This is one engine component that has to be monitored regularly to maintain peak performance. Variable exhaust power valves are moving devices located at the engine's exhaust port. Every brand's variation is there to provide the same essential service and that is to vary the height and width of the exhaust port according to engine RPM. This vastly broadens the power band. At low RPM...

Buying a new motorcycle isn't always easy. There's a lot of information out there to steer car buyers in the right direction, but very little for the average motorcycle buyer. The first step to buying your new motorcycle is deciding which type or model style is right for you. Most people group bikes into three distinct categories: Street, Dual-Purpose, and Off-Road. But, those who know bikes well understand that there are many more subcategories of motorcycles to contend with on the sales block. The biggest mistake beginning riders often make when purchasing their first motorcycle is settling for a low-budget street model (usually costing around $3,000 new). The problem is, these bikes have little...
