How To Handle A Hard Ride
by: Maricon Williams
As an active rider, I am susceptible to different kinds of weather. The best as we all know is dry and sunny ride. It is good to feel the warmth of the sun under your kin. It is nice to feel free-spirited again and feast your eyes on strange, peculiar and scenic spots in the locality you are driving.
Nonetheless, what makes it a little harder is when the weather turns rainy- wet and slippery. It is quite hard to drive on a rainy season especially without your visors on. We have to be equipped with the right motorcycle accessories and apparel. In fact, you have to be really prepared in order to withstand the weather. We have to weather the weather whether we like it or not.
From helmet, visors/sunglasses to raincoat, latex gloves or waterproof pants, vests and boots ? we got to have them all or else you are going to travel cold, shivering and unable to focus.
On the other hand, I can say that rainy days are not the hardest ride ever. In fact, I have experienced the worst ride when I rode on foggy days. It was a long and protracted ride. It took me many days to finish my route. These days were one of my scariest days as a rider. I was exploring California, when suddenly I found myself within the vicinity of a fog bank. It was so hazy that I cannot even figure out what was in front of me. The visibility was so poor and the risks were overwhelming.
What makes it more scary is when your drop your motorcycle in a fog bank. With poor visibility, you have no way of seeing the horizon, the trees, deer and other obstacles that may come your way. This is especially true when you are in the curve and have to stop quickly and smoothly. If you miscalculate your turn, you may find your bike falling over and it will be difficult for you to stop. Before you know it, you are already drenched in the freezing coldness of fog.
There was an interesting study which states that riders tend to gradually increase speed while driving in the fog. This is true. We may be overlooking our speedometers thus, we are not aware of our usual speed so as to cue us in our riding.
Nevertheless, speedometer cues are unreliable when you are riding in the fog.
So as not to get tangled with an otherwise awkward ride, every rider must be physically and psychologically fit. He must also know the routes he is taking or about to take. Another, the motorcycle must be well-maintained and is free from flaws so as not to have discrepancies while riding.
Stay safe. Ride on!

Leather: The ONLY Material For Boots
Leather: The ONLY Material For Boots
by: Steve Joseph
If you talk to enough men and women who have been in the blue collar workforce, they will tell you that leather boots are the only way to go. New materials have come and gone but leather continues to stand the test of time and remains a popular choice for protective footwear and protective clothing. Synthetic materials have certainly done much to bridge the gap in the work boot market, but it still fails to offer the complete package of style, durability and protection that is an inherent part of leather boots.
First of all we should tackle the biggest issue of all when it comes to work boots and that is protection. Protection is the number one reason that work boots are worn and it is the reason that they are mandatory for workers an all commercial building sites. It may seem strange, but according to http://www.safetboot.com the best way...

Lightweight Backpacking
Lightweight Backpacking
by: Steve Gillman
Lightweight backpacking or ultralight backpacking certainly enable you to travel more miles in a day. I can easily go farther in my running shoes, with my fifteen-pound pack on, than I could with heavy hiking boots and a forty-pound pack. That isn't all, though. Going light also means more comfort, more freedom and even more safety.
Disadvantages Of Traditional Backpacking
Less freedom. It isn't easy to take a side trip up that hill, just to see what's there. Do it without your pack, and you have to go back the same way to get your pack.
More tiring. It's clearly more tiring with a heavy pack, and you probably won't enjoy yourself as much when you are tired.
More Injuries. Blistered feet, sprained ankles, sore muscles, and back and knee problems are just some of the common consequences of too much weight on your back.
More hassle. Removing and putting on a heavy pack quickly becomes...

Create A Lifelike Santa In Your Bathroom
by: Johann Erickson
If you love to go all out with your Christmas decorating, here is a whimsical, original idea for your bathroom:
Materials needed:
- White shower curtain, canvas, or fabric (a new canvas drop cloth works great)
- Shower curtain liner (to protect curtain from moisture)
- Projector*
- Permanent black marker, preferably a thick one
- Paint pens
- Paint
- Fiberfill or cotton balls
- Santa hat
- Black felt (about one yard)
- 2 red hand towels or red fabric
*If you can draw, you may not need the projector. If you are not artistically inclined, and do not already own a projector, see if you can borrow one.
Let's get started!
If you're using fabric instead of a shower curtain, you'll need to make it standard shower curtain size, which is about 72" x 72"....
