For many, the great joy in owning a motorcycle comes from being able to get out on the open road. Others are put off by the thought of bad weather, dirt and an uncomfortable ride. A number of developments from manufacturers have been aimed and trying to help the latter group. The message has been that riding a bike can be comfortable, as well as fun.

The following are four of the most important things to keep in mind regarding motorcycle riding, in order to ensure the safety of yourself and others with whom you share the road. 1.

Before you start looking over your bike to see what we're talking about, please note this article is primarily intended for the sportbike rider.

Keeping your visor clean is not only important to your image but your safety too. If your visor is not cleaned enough, your sight will be impaired and might even be in danger of having an accident. Your visor is there to protect your eyes from dust and dirt on the road, but, for it to work properly it does need to be cleaned on a regular basis. Driving on the road and 'off road' can cause a large amount of dirt to collect on your visor. Although at the time, the visor protects your eyes from the sun's glare and dust and dirt particles, which could cause an accident if it was not for a visor; if not cleaned properly in the long term a visor will no longer keep you safe. The cleaning[..]

Motorcycle riders love the independence of getting on a motorcycle and riding into the sunset. In some cases, though, the rider may have a passenger, and it is also quite common for motorcycle riders to ride in pairs or as a group. In these cases, it is often necessary for the rider to communicate with the passenger, or with another rider. Screaming over the sound of the motors and the wind is not very feasible, nor is sign language, so to help motorcycle riders communicate, there are motorcycle inter-communicators, or intercoms. These come in three major categories: - basic acoustic communicators - wired communicators - wireless systems. The acoustic intercoms are just ear plugs and a[..]

How are Motorcycle Batteries Rated? The amp/hour (AH) capacity is the basis for rating motorcycle batteries. For example, a 12AH battery can produce one amp of current flow for 12 hours, or two amps for six hours.
