If you just bought a motorcycle and would like to take it on the streets, then you should think twice about that. You will first have to get the proper training when it comes to riding it and after that, engage into riding your motorcycle. Make sure that you will hire a professional motorcycle rider to teach you everything about Motorcycle Safety. Make sure to ask him questions if you wont understand what he is explaining to you, as soon you will be the one who will ride it on the streets.

So, whenever you will be riding your Safe Motorcycle, as many such riders call it, you will have to make sure that you wear a helmet. This is very important, as if you will fall off your bike and break your hand, that is something that will get healed fast. But if you hit your head hard enough, then you can die.

Also, there is special equipment that motorcycle riders are required to wear. This equipment is made out of leather and on top of the fact that it will protect them from the cold and the powerful wind, it will also protect them in case they will fall. If you are wearing normal clothes, then they will easily be shredded by the rugged asphalt and will also shred your skin badly in just seconds. Wearing such a suite will leave you protected from this.

Another thing is to make sure that your signaling lights are working properly. You can check them every day right before you get on your bike, as this is a very simple and quick check up. You wont want to be caught up in traffic with defective lights and not knowing about it.

To help make this decision about the HID conversion kits there are several things you need to consider. First, what kind of money can you put into a hid conversion kit. Second, where are you going to drive your car, truck, motorcycle or other vehicles the most after you have installed you HID conversion kit. And finally, what are the most pressing safety issues that surround the area where you will be driving your vehicle after you have the HID conversion kit installed. Considering all of these can help you to make the right decision in what to buy when you are looking at some of the headlight options given with the various HID conversion kits.

OK, so the first thing we said was the kind of money you can spend. Since the Hid conversion kits, like the HID xenon conversion kit or the McCulloch conversion kit, are relatively new and better quality than halogen light bulbs they can cost a little money. And since the dual beam option is even more recent than that it can add on to your cost. For these reasons you should have an idea of what you are willing to spend before you even begin to look at these options for your HID conversion kit. Once you have a price limit, that you can not and will not break, in mind you can start looking for the options that will best fit you. If you have an older car that won’t last much longer, go cheaper, if you are buying a brand new car, go a bit more expensive.

Next you should consider where it is that you drive the most. If you are constantly driving in a city were it is normally bright at night and the headlights are more of a precaution, then you are less likely to need the dual beam option for your HID conversion kit. However, if you tend to drive in the country were there are lots of wild animals and it can be difficult to see, you will probably want the dual beam option. Also look at weather, if there is constantly fog and/or other bad driving conditions you will want the dual beam option for you HID conversion kit.

Finally, the safety issues at hand. If you are living in one of those areas where there is constantly road kill that just pops up overnight, and the dear jump in front of an unsuspecting driver, you will want the option of both your high and your low beams (the dual beam option), especially in bad weather. If not, well it is always nice to have them so that you can flash them at another car in warning, or if you end up in one of those areas at night.

Motorcycle leather jackets fulfill the purpose of wearer protecting the while he is pushing himself to the limits of speed of his motorcycle. In order to perform correctly they should be not of a size that is too tight that the wearer cant even move but they should hold the wearer firmly enough so that he doesnt get even a scratch on the parts of the body covered by the motorcycle leather jackets. While buying good motorcycle leather jackets one should make sure that they are made of a thick and malleable outer material if they are to be used for protection purpose otherwise a person can look for motorcycle leather jackets that are lighter and made to fulfill fashion requirements rather than protecting the wearer.

There are many types of motorcycle leather jackets available they differ in terms of aesthetics, cuts and sizes. Mostly motorcycle leather jackets are found in black color but different colors are also available. Bikers jacket usually comes with huge pointed lapels and is mostly in black color. While the motorcycle leather jackets used by the racers differ as they are mostly brightly colored and dont have any sort of lapels they grip the body more firmly to provide protection to the racer. The motorcycle leather jackets made for women style needs are mostly white in color and can be in square and boxy styles.

Motorcycle leather jackets face a lot of harshness and they are required to stand firmly against any sort of bad work. Motorcycle leather jackets should have long lasting accessories used on them. These accessories may include zippers or closures which should be of a material that can with stand the stresses and strains for a long period of time. Mostly stainless steel or silver is used to make these accessories to provide durability to them. These zippers and closures are used to close the front of the motorcycle leather jackets and the pockets as well so that the things which are kept inside the pockets dont come out in case of any crash. Motorcycle leather jackets have embellishments added to them for customization purpose these embellishment can be rivets, buckles etc.

Motorcycle leather jackets are tougher than usual jackets and they last longer but still they need to be taken care of for long lasting durability so that a biker or racer doesnt need to buy a new one more frequently. Many people follow different care instruction for increasing the life of their motorcycle leather jackets. The most important thing to do while caring for your motorcycle leather jackets is to mend the holes whenever they appear because these small holes will cause the fraying of leather and thus will slowly convert into big holes destroying the looks of your motorcycle leather jackets.

I had intended something more ambitious for “Ride 5-0″ than a SaddleSore 2000 comprised of two round trips to nowhere.  But times being what they are, I am fortunate and grateful to be doing any distance riding at all…  Anyway, the SS2000 requires that you ride over 2,000 miles in under 48 hours.  On this particular ride, I covered 2,087 miles in 40 hours 27 minutes total time, or 30 hours 3 minutes riding time.  On the first leg (day one), I rode from Miami Beach FL to Cecil GA and back via Alligator Alley and IH-75, covering a distance of 1,048 miles in 14 hours 44 minutes for an MTH of 71.13.  On the second leg (day two), I rode roundtrip from Miami Beach FL to Ridgeland SC and back via IH-95, covering a distance of 1,039 miles in 15 hours 19 minutes for an MTH of 67.83.  There are no world records or even personal bests in any of these statistics.  But it was a safe and successful ride, and that must satisfice.  Here are the highlights:

Leg 1: Round-Trip from Miami Beach FL to Cecil GA

Sleepy witness signatures gathered, at 6:19am on Friday, 18 June 2010, I pulled an ATM slip at a SoBe Wachovia and logged the start of my ride.  It was a typical muggy South Florida summer morning.  But once I got rolling, the wind evaporated the beads of sweat and I had cool running all the way west across an almost empty Alligator Alley.  Workday morning traffic slowed me down as I headed north up IH-75 through Naples and Fort Myers, but once the traffic thinned I had perfect riding conditions all the way to Tampa.  Just north of there, I hit the first of three major accident-related traffic jams and rubbernecker slowdowns (that seem to occur every time I ride that stretch of interstate).  These queues mandated some creative lane definition in order to maintain an acceptable pace of forward progress.  But from my gas stop in Alachua northward into Georgia, all the cagers kept their eyes on the road and their shiney sides up, which allowed me to sail on into my turnaround point at Cecil with no further interruptions or irritations beyond the seemingly perpetual road construction along that route.

Heading south back to Florida, it was midafternoon by the time I reached Ocala.  In Central Florida in the summer, it rains almost every afternoon, and this day was no exception.  Those large, cold thundercloud raindrops were a welcome relief from the sweltering heat.  But after a couple of hundred miles, I’d had all the relief I needed.  The downpour finally began to dissipate as I rounded the bend towards Alligator Alley just after 7:00pm.  From that point on, the red-orange sun hanging low in the west behind me seemed to be battling yet another band of clouds in front of me for dominance of the turbulent skies over the Everglades.  And from this age-old natural conflict came a Kodak moment that made me regret not having a camera:  

I was approaching the Broward end of the Alley and home when a glistening in Hidalgo’s left rearview mirror caught my eye.  I glanced over to see the reflection of a round red sun sitting in the middle of a bright blue strip of daylight bounded by the horizon beneath it and a cloud bank above.  It made the mirror look like a chrome-framed picture postcard.  More spectacular, though, was what I saw when I looked back up:  A huge, thick rainbow was perfectly centered over the highway before me, framing within it an arch of dark clouds fronted by intermittent bolts of lightning that seemed to flash directly down from the rainbow.  It was as if God was staging a rock concert, and it was almost time for the band…  

Leg 2: Round-Trip from Miami Beach FL to Ridgeland SC

After taking in my fill of skim milk, scrambled eggs and Don Francisco’s Colombia Supremo, I rolled down to the 5th Street Shell and filled up my tank, logging the receipt and the start of leg 2 at 7:27am.  From there I made the short hop across the causeway and headed north on IH-95.  Being a Saturday, traffic was light and I had smooth sailing all the way through South Florida’s tri-county metroplex and northward to my first stop at Vero Beach.  In fact, I had good weather, open roads and easy riding all the way through Jacksonville, Georgia and on into South Carolina.  

I reached my turnaround point at Ridgeland SC at 3:08pm … as did the first of several summer showers and thunderstorms I’d be riding through as I headed back southward.  Just north of Brunswick GA, the rain started coming down in slanted sheets that slowed me to 15mph for a few minutes.  But once I punched through, that was the worst of it.  

Sunset was approaching as I stopped for gas in Titusville FL at 7:30pm.  Clouds would fill the skies for the rest of the evening, but I was south of the rain now and had dry roads from there to Miami.  “Dry” roads, yes, but not necessarily “safe” roads…  Somewhere near Mile Marker 100 by Stuart at around 9:00pm, I hit something lying in the road that looked, felt and sounded like either a heavy metal garbage can lid or an overturned manhole cover.  It was dark in color, and lying on black asphalt under a starless night sky, so I didn’t see it until I was right on top of it.  The impact ripped the spring off my sidestand and took out my speedometer and odometer.  Luckily though, I was still upright and rolling, and I didn’t detect any other damage.  So at my next and final gas stop in Jupiter, I bungied the sidestand then rode her safely home to SoBe.
