Motorcycle LED Lights: Useful or Useless?
Custom Motorcycle Headlights

Motorcycle LED lights have been around for a while, but after the release of Tron: Legacy, it seems like the industry is going into overdrive. But do those little glowing lights have a bigger purpose than just illuminating chrome?

Let Me Be Ethanol Free

Last year in October the EPA approved E15, 15% Ethanol and 85% gas, as OK to be used in 2007 and newer cars, this fuel has not been approved for use in motorcycles. So now you are going to have to have start watching the labels on the fuel pumps to make sure you are not putting the incorrect fuel into your motorcycle. If you have a classic machine this fuel can really be a problem as the engine was not designed for use with this type of fuel.

Do you have 100% confidence in your motorcycle?

I remember when I first learned to ride a motorcycle, every time I used to pull up to a set of traffic lights, or go to pull away, I used to get a sudden rush of worry that I might drop my bike. I was always trying to gear myself up to come to a stop. I know that a lot of people go through this, or something similar at the early stages or riding, but it doesn’t have to stay that way. I see women all the time doing this exact thing.

Female bikers - In a man's world.

Some women find it easier than others, but most of us feel the same when it comes to the subject of ‘A man’s world’. Although times are changing rapidly, and women now have more influence, we're still in a world of which men predominantly dominate.

When it comes to the world of the ‘motorcycle’, it gets a little more difficult for women to have a place in. Yes, a lot of men show a great deal of respect for women who ride motorcycles, but there are still a large number of men who cannot accept it.

Moto Gangster or Clever Video Editing?

I've seen a lot of cool videos, but this one takes the cake. Look at this racer hit a low-side and still run back and catch his bike before it tanks. Two riders zip past him as he runs for his dear life. A great vid, however...I have my reservations about it's authenticity.
