• Motorcycle Oil

  • From: twest137
  • Description:

    Every motorcycle needs motorcycle oil, but choosing the right motorcycle oil can be challenging. When looking at what type of oil to use there are generally three different types which are mineral oil (this is your “regular” oil), synthetic blend, and fully synthetic. What new motorcyclists don’t know is that the engine of a motorcycle runs a lot faster than a car engine on a consistent basis.
    Where a car might only run 2000 to 3,000 RPM’s (revolutions per minute) a motorcycle will run up to 10,000 on average. That is 3 to 4 times as much stress on the engine compared to your normal car.

    Another huge problem that arises with motorcycle oil is that it tends to fall to the bottom of the oil pain. That means if the engine has been sitting overnight the motorcycle oil is not in the engine. This means when you start the cycle up, for a split second it has no protection.

    The Judgment on Motorcycle Oil

    The final judgment on motorcycle oil is really up to you. However, if you are wondering what the best possible motorcycle oil is, it’s full synthetic. Full synthetic will allow your engine to run smoother and it’s less likely to be effected by lower temperatures causing that split second of no protection at startup to be as minimized as possible.

• POLICE v OLD BIKERS

  • From: Englissh
  • Description:

        

     I Found this old article in an UK newspaper, and I thought you might have some say on it. For me I ride about 2/3 K's below the road speed limit and I think that with the 100000's miles that I have riden,driven in my life I know my limitations, but when I went out on my friends Yamaha 1300 I came back with a few more grey hairs as the speed was instante and ( 100 in 4 seconds ) you did not have time to think and try stopping at nearly 200 KPH. I dont say that all old wrinkleys should be restricted but use what little brain we have left. 

     

     

    Police put the brakes on new breed of old biker

     

    Police have launched a campaign to save the lives of a new and potentially deadly breed of motorcyclist - not reckless youths but affluent middle- aged men on expensive superbikes.

    Road safety experts are growing increasingly concerned by the emergence of what they call the "born-again bikers", older men whose children have grown up and well-off professionals looking for thrills.

    Insurers have also identified the group and believe many once rode motorbikes and are returning after raising families. Others simply believe riding fast bikes is cool.

    The trend was first spotted by Chief Inspector David Short of North Yorkshire traffic police. In his area, which is largely rural and criss-crossed with long country lanes where bikers race, there were 13 motorcycle deaths in 1995, three of which involved over-thirties. Last year, there were 17 deaths, 12 involving over-thirties. So far this year, there have been eight fatalities, seven of which involved over-thirties.

    "In North Yorkshire, 90 per cent of fatal motorcycle accidents now involve bikers aged over 30 riding high-performance bikes," said Chief Inspector Short. "Many of them used to ride bikes years ago but they don't seem to realise that bikes have advanced so much over the past 20 years that today's machines bear little resemblance to what they were used to.

    "They return to biking with a little more money in their pockets and buy bikes that are actually very similar to performance bikes used in racing. They simply go too fast, lose control and hit something." A top of the range high- performance bike costs around pounds 10,000 - half the price of a sports car.

    Last month, Mr Short and representatives of 11 forces nationwide got together to launch Bikesafe 2000, a campaign which aims to educate born- again bikers using a network of dealers, police specialists and bike clubs.

    Tim Thompson, editor of Ride magazine, is supporting the initiative. Readership research has shown the average age of his readers to be increasing and readers' average wages have now topped pounds 30,000 a year.

    "We take readers away for weekends and it has been interesting to see the ages increase," said Mr Thompson. "You see these guys in leathers and then you realise there's a bit of a paunch under there. And then they take their crash helmets off and they're balding.

    "The problem is that many of them have come back to bikes after driving cars and they `drive' their bikes rather than riding them. There's a subtle difference but it's about understanding your bike's capabilities and limitations. We're advocating some advanced riding lessons - one or two days close instruction can make all the difference. This needn't be a problem - fatalities are very very rare. And it can be great fun."

    However, the trend is likely to result in increased insurance premiums for older bikers. Damian Keeling, managing director of Carole Nash insurance, Britain's largest intermediate insurer for bikers, said the days of lower premiums for mature people are numbered.

    "We have 60,000 clients and our research has shown that bikers in the age group 30-60 are twice as likely to have an accident than bikers under 30," said Mr Keeling.

    "In terms of life insurance and property insurance, the older age group is ideal and attracts bigger discounts and lower premiums.

    "But as far as insurance goes to ride bikes, the assumption that more mature people are safer is having to be rethought and premiums are bound to rise as a result."

    Hey Vulcman,

    Thanks for the information and comparisons between some great bikes. One of the great things about this Community is that we are all individuals with different tastes, likes, dislikes and favourites. 

    As much as it is always interesting to read comparisons between manufacturers, for me it comes down to how a bike looks, feels and performs for me.  Have had mostly Kawasaki Bikes over the years, having only strayed once and that was to bu

• California may soon require sm

  • From: twest137
  • Description:

    Back on February 26th, California State Senator Fran Pavley introduced legislation that would "amend Section 44011 of, and to add Section 44012.5 to, the Health and Safety Code, relating to air pollution." All right, what's that mean? Basically, this legislation would require motorcycle owners in California to get smog checks for their motorcycles once every two years. The law would cover all motorcycles model year 2000 or newer and, if passed, would go into effect on January 1st, 2012.
    
    As of today, motorcycles are exempt from smog checks in California. As with other motorcycles in that state, all motorcycles with current registration as road vehicles would need to be checked by the Department of Consumer Affairs and any transfer of ownership would also require an updated certificate of compliance.
    
    A majority vote will be required to pass this new legislation into law, which could take place any time after March 28th.
