...I decided to write this as I recently became a motorcycle enthusiast. I needed to buy things... I already had a decent helmet, gloves and boots but I needed a more winter orientated jacket. So I went shopping.
High street.
First there are high street motorcycle accessory stores. They tend to be very limited in motorcycle jackets... I wanted leather and not textile and found it difficult to find one. The second store I found was particularly useless as the cheapest jacket (although incredibly stylish) was 299 pounds and quite simply, I don'thave that sort of money.
Motorcycle dealers
Slightly cheaper and much more choice, I found. The bigger and more well known the store the better the range. Although most jackets I found were either two piece or brightly coloured (Not what I was looking for) and again the prices didn't vary much...

...this is the motorcycle of the year. If you're sick of taking the tube to get to downtown London, I have THE solution for you. Introducing the BMW F 650 CS Scarver, it's the next generation of sweet popcicle motorcycles. When you mount this sweet papa, you get the same sensation as if you were sucking on a sweet popcicle. Do you get what I'm trying to communicate to you? It's as simple as this, if you're looking for the ultimate sensations, you need to be sucking on a popcicle (cola flavor if at all possible) AS you're riding on the BMW roadkiller!
Now remember folks, watch your speed on the road. And remember, we're not on continental Europe, you need to drive on the left side of the road.
Cheers...

Advantages: increase awareness, safer for you and others...may prevent hefty fines/penalties or even manslaughter charges Disadvantages: might not get to your destination as quickly
...This op is more about how to prevent an accident, rather than what to do in an accident.
I accept the fact that most drivers think they're exceptionally good at driving their vehicle, however, the arrogance of most drivers is far beyond them.
The most dangerous thing I have noticed on roads is people driving too close behind each other. When a car drives closely behind another car, it probably wouldn't be that big a deal as the worst that could happen is the car behind would knock the car in front, possibly causing a bit of damage, but no big life threatening injuries to any occupants.
If the vehicle in front was a motorcycle, then the story would be totally different. If you think about it, a motorcycle has a lot less stability than a car. If you are driving close behind a motorcycle and the rider was to lose stability and fall off...

“Diarios De Motocicleta” is quite simply a reproduction of the travelogue kept by the twenty-three year old Ernesto Guevara (played by the rather gorgeous Gael García Bernal) who will one day be nicknamed Che, the Argentinean slang meaning “friend”. ... more
I first read Zen and The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance when i was about 14 and have re-read it about three times since then. I'm not sure I still completely understand it, and trying to give a summary isn't easy, but I will try.
It was a massive... more
