Motorcycle Helmets History
The thrill and sheer enjoyment of riding a motorcycle is addictive to many enthusiasts, and it’s becoming more and more popular. With the large number of vehicles present on today’s roadways and the incredible speed at which motorcycles can operate, a motorcycle helmet is absolutely a necessity. Many riders put on motorcycle helmets every single day, and yet few people actually know its true origin.
Best Motorcycle Riding Routes
There’s nothing like the feeling of you, your bike, and the open road — motorcycle riding is exhilarating. You get an unfettered view of the road beneath your feet, the sky above your head, and the landscape zipping along beside you — all while gliding down the highway in your built-for-a-king captain’s chair. While you’ve got your bike, you’ve got your bag, and maybe your gal (or guy!) — the question is — where should you ride?
Motorcycle Photos
A simple snapshot of a motorcycle won’t do it proper justice. This machine deserves a proper photograph to show off every aspect about it, much like a family portrait shows off a family. Whether the pictures are to help sell a bike, or simply show off, the right tricks make for quality photos of any bike.
Motorcycle Events
Of all the motorcycle events in the U.S. today, the two most popular rallies are the bike weeks in Sturgis, South Dakota and Daytona, Florida. The events during Sturgis’ Bike Week draw motorcycle enthusiasts from accross the country and include custom bike exhibits and demo rides, as well as a replica of the Vietnam Memorial used to honor fallen military. Daytona’s Bike Week also draws a huge national crowd, and includes British and European bike shows, bikini contests, burnout competitions, road races, and concerts featuring local and national performers.
Reflections on Buying A Motorcycle
Another summer has arrived, and it’s another summer of wondering if this will be the year I purchase a motorcycle. Motorcycles are like smoking cigarettes, everyone knows they are dangerous, but they still want to try them, at least once.
