Biker Skin Protection Doesn’t Mean Buy More Leather!

admin — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 16:44:59 +0000

We watch people on TV that stand outside in hurricanes and wonder just how crazy they have to be to do that? We see people in tropical storms getting blown down the street and wonder what kind of idiot would expose themselves to that? We sit back in amazement at the havocked reeked by minimal storms at a trailer park! Then we jump on our bikes with sleeveless T’s, tank tops, shorts and no helmets and proceed to drive at over 35 MPH (Tropical Storm) and 73MPH (Hurricane Category 1) and wonder why our skin is torn up.

There are products for the beach, there are products for skiing, there are products for bicycle riders, there are products for runners, football players, swimmers, etc…. So where are the products made specifically for motorcycle riders?

Bikers need protection that doesn’t; slime up the hand grips, attract road dirt, make us ….. read more about motorcycle skin protection

Can I drive a 50cc motorcycle/scooter in Alberta with only a learners?

admin — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 18:18:00 +0000

Hello I live in Alberta, Canada and I was wondering if anybody knew the exact rules regarding 50cc motorcycles/scooters and learners licenses.
I read the info in the link but I am still unclear is I am allowed to drive a motorcycle as long as it is under 50cc.

Yes but read the information in this link.

http://www.servicealberta.gov.ab.ca/Drivers_Licence.cfm#Class_7_Licence

Yes if you have a learners permit to drive a car you can drive a 50cc alone. You can call and confirm. I think you can even get away without insurance but I am not 100% sure of that, check with your insurance company.

What motorcycle/scooter is best for a teenager?

admin — Fri, 07 May 2010 05:24:52 +0000

I want to get a motorcycle or a scooter but I can’t decide on what is best. I want to be able to drive it to school everyday but at some point I hope I can use it for long distance. Is any motorcycle or scooter good for that or would I have to buy two different vehicles?

250 Ninja. Especially since you want to be able to use it for long distance. They are light, easy to maneuver, have plenty of power, and get great mileage.

Are there any motorcycle schools in Vancouver that offer lessons on SCOOTERS?

admin — Fri, 16 Apr 2010 01:28:03 +0000

I’m planning to get my motorcycle Learner’s license soon, and I’m looking into taking lessons specifically for driving motor scooters only. I’ve tried looking through the phone book, but all of the schools seem to only offer lessons on normal motorcycles.

Can someone recommend me a school that offers scooter lessons in Vancouver, Burnaby, or that sort of area?

Yea there’s one in downtown Burnaby. Two blocks south of the mini-mart/gas station. I believe it’s called Accurate Driving School. They teach everything and have a special class for scooters

Panhandle Biker Review of Knob Polish, The All Purpose Motorcycle Polish

admin — Fri, 09 Apr 2010 18:57:59 +0000

Time Rider’s Shtuff for Bikers has a pile of incredible products available on their website, http://www.ShtuffForBikers.com. This month’s product review will cover Knob Polish, a metal cleaner and polish that is, in my opinion, revolutionary. Strong words? Not as strong as this product. I tried Knob Polish on my pipes, mirrors, and chrome. Wonderful, easy to apply, easy to wipe off, sterling results…just what you would expect, right?
THEN I polished my gas tank, my saddlebags, and my helmet with the SAME polish. Yep, you heard me right, I used metal polish on painted surfaces with the same sterling results. This shtuff does NOT harm painted surfaces. Surprised? I then went to my clear plastic lower deflectors and removed tiny paint spots picked up from roadway paint…and my deflectors are clear and unspoiled as MORE

Is it possible to drive a motorcycle (not scooter) with one hand?

admin — Fri, 26 Mar 2010 02:02:20 +0000

While you have the other hand available to grab anything? Do motorcycles have space available under the seat as scooters have?

If you have a throttle drag screw, you can ride no-hands if you want. BMWs had them for years. Harleys also had throttles that did not return on their own.

If you have a Jawa Californian with a sidecar, you can go from neutral into first, then ease the bike off the line and shift up through the gears, all with no hands. Just crank down the friction steering damper, set the throttle with the revs at about 2500-3000 rpm, toe the bike into first (the shift lever also disengages the clutch), then ease off on the lever, and away you go. It’s a hilarious stunt at rallies.

A friend with a withered left arm set up his MZ so he could clutch and brake with his right hand. Hs left was in a brace, so he just rested it on the grip, essentially riding one-handed. I tried to convince him a Jawa was the way to go, but he stuck with the MZ, a better bike in any event.
