My friend just got into a motorcycle accident tonight (on my bike)?
the bike had full coverage my friend had alot of road rash he had his license and it was his fault im covered by state farm if that helps any im just wondering if my rates and shit will go up or if itll be on his insurance instead of mine
yes i was worried about him hes fine and hes at his house with scrapes and no broken bones
I was wondering what opinions people have from the MMI school in Orlando Florida. Difference between that and say the NASCAR Institute as far as success rates?
It’s good if you don’t know anything. But, When your finished you still will not know everything.
In many instances, technology is a major cause of auto accidents ? particularly when drivers use their cell phones for calls or texting when behind the wheel. Now, however, two U.S. Senators have teamed up with MADD (Mothers Against drunkdriving) in an attempt to use new technology to avert tragedy and wrongful death instead.
Near the end of 2009, during the approach of the holiday season, which traditionally sees a spike in the number of dui-related auto and motorcycle accidents, Senators Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.) and Tom Udall (D-N.M.) introduced a bill requiring the use of an “ignition interlock” for convicted drunk drivers.
The ignition interlock device, when installed in a car, prevents a would-be driver from starting the vehicle unless they can pass a breathalyzer test. This device is gaining in popularity all across the country ? ten states, including Washington where I practice law as a personal injury attorney in Seattle, already have laws in place requiring some degree of usage of the interlock by convicted dui offenders who wish to drive. In the case of Washington, a drunk driver who has had their license revoked can apply for a special IIL (Ignition Interlock License), which allows them to drive any vehicle that has the interlock installed.
It?s making even more of a splash internationally. In Sweden, you?ll find the interlock is standard equipment on buses and all service vehicles ? in addition, all Volvos come equipped with an interlock. Legislation was also just passed in South Australia to require serious or repeat DUI offenders to have an interlock in their cars.
The reason the interlock is becoming such a center of attention? It works. According to the Centers for disease Control and Prevention, ignition interlocks reduced re-arrest rates by an amazing 73 percent, and the insurance Institute for Highway Safety found wrongful deaths dropped a welcome 30 percent.
Who could argue with such a great solution to such a tremendous ? and potentially lethal ? problem?
Well, who else but the American Beverage Institute (ABI), which has worked against the interlock since it was first introduced. The ABI?s position is that the Senators? new proposed bill is “the first step in a campaign to require interlock technology in all cars.”
Perhaps the only reply to that argument is, ??and your point is?? But Mothers Against Drunk driving went a bit further with their response. “We will gladly stack up the credibility of MADD versus the credibility of these groups any day,” MADD President Chuck Hurley said. “Obviously, they’re funded by the angry wing of the alcohol industry.”
The ignition interlock looks to be an amazing weapon in the ongoing war against DUI-related auto accidents and wrongful deaths, a war that has seen much progress in recent years. Drunk driving auto accidents have declined in 40 states, as well as the District of Columbia, and the interlock, should it gain widespread acceptance, will probably add much momentum to that welcome trend.
whats a good insurance agency in Ontario Canada for motorbikes?
I use Kanetix, and I’ve never had any problems with them. I have a decent rate, considering I’ve never had a motorcycle accident, and I live in a good neighbourhood. You should give them a try.

I want to get me a scooter someday but i need to know how big it is if it can fit 3 bags or 4 groceries. I wold learn to drive a car but i can’t drive one at all and i think scooters are easy
Yes 3 bags of groceries can fit but they have to be small items, you also have the option of putting in a basket in the front or rear area, that works for additional space.

Bought off brand 125cc Asian import dirt bike for my son from Traders Village. No manual, what oil do I use?
I bought an off brand 125cc Asian import dirt bike for my son from Traders Village. Looks definitely brand new. No manual was with it at the time – dude says he will mail it to me. Mean while, the oil is low. What oil do I use? I went to O’Reilly auto parts and the guy said to use Mortorcycle 20w-50 or either motorcycle 10w-40. ???
change the oil and use a motorcycle 10w-40 and just continue to use that brand after all you shouldn’t mix brands or grades

Saddlebag Restoration – Make Your Saddlebags Appear New Every Time
Saddlebags are bags that are attached to a vehicle. These are leather bags that are that can be hung on the rear end of a motorcycle with an easy installation system and all other saddlebag support systems. These saddlebags are modern and appear fancy. They mostly appear stylish if attached to a Yamaha bike or a Harley Davidson. These bags can be used by people who listen to “emo” genre of music as the appearance of these bags looks like something that a rock star of a hard rock music genre would use. Also, there are saddlebag accessories that you can purchase at an affordable rate like utility pouch, drink holder, snap kit and industrial strength adhesive. Then there is saddlebag restoration which includes stiffeners of saddlebags which prevent the bags from sagging.
There is a variety of saddlebag accessories available which includes adhesive, support rails, lid inserts, a drink holder and a perimeter kit which will help you to maintain your saddlebag and it will always appear as if it was a new one. If you choose to buy all these products as a part of the restoration system, you can save a lot of money. You can also purchase a separate restoration system for a saddlebag for your Harley Davidson which includes a self-installation kit. These saddlebags come in different sizes and designs. There are saddlebag lid inserts which are made and modeled with perfection and takes the sag out of your bags. These inserts are hard and strong but can be easily bent which makes the installation process easy.
You can also purchase other saddlebag accessories for your Harley Davidson and Yamaha bikes like a liner set, tourer, windshield cover/bag, trunk liner set, etc. They are easy to install and are available in eye-catching styles and designs. You can save a lump sum, if you buy a whole kit instead of purchasing them in separate parts. While choosing saddlebag support systems, you must make sure that you can adjust it easily to fit the lid inserts of any size. For this, you will also get an adhesive which will allow you to install the lid inserts without any trouble. This adhesive is of good quality and if affected, gets covered by the warranty provided by the manufacturer. This allows you to make unique changes like installation of saddle bags away from the exhaustpipe so that they will not burn.
There are saddlebag stiffeners available like molded stiffener, front stiffener and side gusset stiffeners which can be of great use. They come under soft motorcycle saddlebags which are made from materials like canvas, nylon, etc. These stiffeners are made of plastic, so that the bag can hold its shape even when it is not full. Leather bags require regular maintenance and when washed, they tend to shrink and lose its shape and you are left with no option but to change it. This is where saddlebag stiffeners play a part as they provide stiff support to the bags and you can continue to use these bags.
Does anyone know a lot about Harley Davidson Bikes?
My mom wants me to help her with selling her 2004 Harley-Davidson FXDL Dyna Low Rider on the internet, I dont know anything about motorcycles and she doesnt know exactly what she has on it so I cant place the ad. Does anyone know what is standard on the bike? She also said that she put chrome on it, the kickstand and the handle bars and something else. Can someone help me PLEASE!
Thanks
Extras on the bike help sell the bike but do not increase the value. Do not go by KBB or NADA, these are insurance company guides for value. Take a look at E-bay listings. Look at current and closed listings for your exact bike or as close as you can get to your bike. This is a true gauge as to what people are selling and buying your bike for. Remember…it’s only cold in the north. People down south ride all year.
