BETHEL, N.Y. – Welcome to middle age, Woodstock Baby — if you’re really out there.

Singer John Sebastian is captured on film announcing that some cat’s old lady just had a baby, a kid destined to be far out.

6 Things to do if involved in a Motorcycle Accident Motorcycle accidents have a reputation for being some of the deadliest. Motorcycles offer little protection to riders in the event of an accident; therefore the injuries are often severe requiring long recovery periods. Usually, motorcycle accidents are not the biker s fault. Due to the size difference between a motorcycle and passenger vehicle, motorcycles are harder to see and are frequently lost in the passenger vehicle s blind spot.

I always dreaded the process of purchasing a motorcycle. It was irrelevant if it was a used or new motorcycle. Obviously, it was fun walking around the motorcycle lot on a Saturday morning and browsing the cycles. However, when it came to conversing with the salesman and making a deal on price face to face I always disliked it. Then one day I discovered motorcycles for sale online. I immediately recognized that there were quite a few things to like about these Internet motorbike auctions.The first advantage is the variety of bikes to choose from.

Street Bikes and Fuel Economy The street bike is often viewed as a recreational toy, a luxury afforded to those with the two-wheeled fever Street bikes are also associated with the daredevil, the person who lives on the edge and takes life one day at a time The reality however, is miles away from here Street bikes are ridden by individuals from all walks of life including professionals like doctors and lawyers for example The old stereotype of law breaking rebels and individuals who do not respect their own livelihood has begun to fade .

by Ethan O. Tanner When asked to imagine a picture of a biker in your mind, you probably envision a person sitting on a motorcycle in a black leather jacket. Bikers and black leather jackets just seem to go hand in hand. Black leather jackets provide the best of both worlds for bikers. They get a very cool and fashionable look while at the same time protecting themselves from injury. More than likely most motorcyclists will be wearing black leather jackets when you see groups of them going down the highway.

Jackets — generally made from leather, ballistic nylon, cordura, Kevlar or other synthetics. Most jackets include special padding on elbows, spine and shoulders. Airbag system technology is now available fitted to jackets and vests for accident protection and impact protection for both riders and pillions. Competition-approved hard armor is superior to soft padding. Competition-approved back and chest protectors can be worn underneath jackets. Inflatable airbag jackets can offer an additional airbag for neck support.

Hello again friends from my side of the world wide web. It’s been some time since my last post. But I assure you, for very good reasons. First, on the 13th of June I got married, thereby necessitating that the next few weeks of my life be invested fully in another person – perhaps for the first time ever. Sad, now that I think about it, and very probably true. Since then I have been honeymooning, moving, and family reunion-ing. Of course, the wedding weekend was in and of itself very nearly a tall tale.

Leather leggings joined by a belt or lacing, often having flared outer flaps, and worn over the trousers (as by western ranch hands). Leather chaps were worn in the old west by cowboys riding their horses. Cowboys & cowgirls wore them over their pants to protect themselves and keep warm. The wearing of leather chaps was later adapted to the “iron horse”. Motorcycle riders wear leather chaps to keep themselves warm and to protect them from road rash in the event of a crash or fall. In modern times, leather chaps have become not just rider protection but they are also a fashion statement! Men, women, and kids all have a wide variety of leather chaps available to choose from!

Way back when, when I THOUGHT I was a serious racer, I had the opportunity to run a FUSA race with the pace car. I actually liked it. I mean face facts… as a racer I knew I wouldn’t see camera time in the race unless I was being lapped. The pace car brought us all back together and kept the cameras rolling. From a marketing perspective – it makes sense. That is why I am so glad to see the re-vamped Pace Car Policy released today. They are now going to pit everyone with the red flag, then re-enter the track behind the pace car.

When is it worth it to use valet parking? Perhaps on a first date, in order to impress your lady, you pull up to the valet in your ’92 Hyundai Elantra. You scope out the attendant, but he’s just some young punk with a red vest and a peach-fuzz puberty mustache. What if he goes for all your loose change littered in the center console? You have to take toll roads on your way back home! Decisions, decisions. Nonetheless, if you’re driving a super expensive car, valet parking is for you, my friend.

All righty, time again for the weirdest stuff bikers have hit or almost hit. As always, these adventures come from a thread on the Adventure Riders forum . We’ll dive right in. ************ Back in the ’80s I was riding with a friend in Southern California. We were blitzing down a highway and he ran over a half-eaten burrito still in the bag some prick tossed out. He kicked it up with his rear tire and it slapped me in the face.

Red Steel 2 Preview – buttonmasher.co.nz 07/15/2009 We recently attended a preview event with a few upcoming games on show. I drew the short straw and got a hands-on with Red Steel 2 to write up.

The first Red Steel was a Wii launch title, and while not a terrible game it was certainly not great (or good) either.
