I’m Looking forward to what technology brings to motorcycles. There is already motorcycles that have functions that change the driving style of the bike, like sport and commuting. Sure motorcycles have gotten faster, but not as many advances as their 4 wheel counterparts.

Best Homeowner Insurance…

New homeowners insurance provides you with financial protection in case of disaster and a standard homeowners insurance policy will insure both your home and possessions from a wide range of events including fire, theft and storms….

Well, for me it is the mileage which I will look for while buying my first bike. Style should also not be comprised. I do like Harley Davidson very much.

Well, I just bought my first bike in about 24 years. And now I’m 58, and not as brave and stupid as I used to be. I am allergic to pain. BUT-if I thought there was a chance of sliding down the asphalt, I wouldn’t have bought it. I don’t do accidents. I don’t wear helmets, armor, padded gloves, knee-hight boots, and all of that other crap. It’s too hot here. I just get on, and go where I want to go, and don’t even put the thought into my mind that the 4-wheelers who pull out in front of me can outmaneuver my ass. If I was scared like you safety-conscious people, I would buy an SUV.

Dear All

Your article sparked an interest for bikes I had repressed for ages, for various reasons.
But I have discovered today the Royal Enfields and I need one.
I would like it for touring, of course of the very old school type.
Do you think it would be suitable?

Kind regards

As a rider coach for the california motorcycle safety program or MSF throughout the nation, I would like to say that I like reading that people are saying to take the basic rider course before purchasing and riding a motorcycle. In the long run you will end up enjoying the ride much more and learn very valuable skills to keep you safe on the road. Yah don’t look too manly with your bike laying on its side, in the middle of the intersection.

I love riding motorcycles, but like mentioned proper gear, training, and self-restraint in driving will keep you much safer. And like mentioned above most fatal accidents are the motorcyclists fault, not another driver.

Here are some statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

lincoln town car suspension…

replace the air suspension on a 1993 lincoln town car, specifically the rear suspension. After going to a couple of websites… I am very happy with the way the car rolls and the ride is good……

Joel – I’ve never ridden a scooter but it would seem they work basically the same as a motorcycle. I believe scooters don’t require shifting and have linked braking (one lever works both brakes). Aside from that, everything else should apply to scooters.

As far as safety gear, yes you need it. If you go down at 45mph, it doesn’t matter if you’re on a motorcycle or scooter, you’re going to get the same damage.

I’ve wanted to get a Vespa for awhile now. I know not everyone thinks this is a manly ride-but as others have said, it seems like a good way to start out . Is the MSF course equally valuable to a guy who wants to get a scooter? What about safety clothing? It seems like people on scooters tend to wear the open helmet and don’t wear the jacket, pants, and boots of motorcyclists. Is this because they’re not as necessary or it’s just a fashion thing and you should get all that stuff?
