If you are a Member of a Motorcycle Club as I am, I’m sure you have heard about how a Judge has banned the Colors of the the Mongols Motorcycle Club. http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5hrHOy4sPvBKCo0W7ItrIx-pmaE4gD9402LE84 Not only are the Members not aloud to wear their Colors but any item that has their Colors on it must be forfeited upon demand. I can not expect those who are not in a Motorcycle Club to understand what this really means! Twenty years ago this would have struck fear into the soul of every US Citizen! Today I am sure most, probably, will not even hear about it and those that do will probably not care! What has happened to this Country?

I can not believe this is actually happening, I have been writing stories on this for years. Part of me had always hoped I was just being paranoid or that all the Motorcycle Clubs would some how come together on some level and work out the problems. I have been getting calls and emails on how the Story I wrote last year called “Taken from a History book in the year 2095″ does not sound so far fetched any more?

Are there Criminals in Motorcycle Clubs? We hear about Drug dealers, Rapists and Murderers in the NFL and NBA all the time. When was the last time you heard of a Biker running a Dog fighting ring? Can a Judge just ban the Logo of a Sports Franchise if its Members are involved in some kind of Criminal activity? You may be saying No because its different. Well I say it is only different because they haven’t done it yet! There are the same problems in Motorcycle Clubs that there are in all organizations. The Police force has much more Criminal Activity going on in it then all the Motorcycle Clubs put together! Only Difference is they can bury the Truth! When it comes to Motorcycle Clubs and criminal activity the big difference is, The legend of Motorcycle Clubs is we are America’s bad boys and it just sells so dam good.

This injustice can not be allowed to stand!!! I am sure some Sport Bike Clubs and AMA Club’s feel they have nothing to fear! I am sure many are thinking this has nothing to do with them, Its only the Outlaw and 1% Clubs! They are thinking this isn’t about us “we are the good guys”. This is how to defeat us, take down the top level’s first! The other levels will make excuses as to why it is not their fight and stand aside. All Bikers must join the fight now because once they are done with the Outlaw and 1% Clubs, Who do you think they will be looking at Next? Once the Outlaw and 1% Clubs are gone there will be no one left to come and help when they come for you!

I am pretty sure this is still the USA and this is completely against everything this Country was founded on and stands for! We all must ask, If this ruling is allowed to stand what Motorcycle Club will it be next? Will it be yours? What will the reasons be that they will use to ban your Clubs patch ? Will Jay walking be enough? Is that too ridiculous? How about if your an MC member and you get caught with a bag of pot? Is that enough? Will there have to be two Members involved? Three? What reason will they need to ban your Motorcycle Clubs patch?

When Motorcycle Clubs start having their Colors banned many members will start or join new Clubs, Because that is what we are, Motorcycle Club Members! Soon the government will realize this and then Ban Motorcycle Clubs all together! Any one who thinks their Club is not at risk is only kidding themselves! The time to unite and try to work together was yesterday! Today we have no choice but to ban together and fight for or right to survive. Tomorrow, it will be too late!

Even if some how all Motorcycle Clubs can come together and work to win this fight, It is just the beginning and there will be many more rounds to come. If we are to win this fight we MUST at least make it to the 2nd round, Then we will have a Minute to pull ourselves together!!!

Road safety is everyone`s concern, though many people aren`t even sure of what it means. This simple phrase covers a lot of areas, all of which involve staying safe and being responsible on the road. It applies to everyone who drives, cycles or even walks and the idea is to keep everyone out of harm`s way.

When it comes to road safety, cars and trucks are by far the most dangerous thing on the road. The sheer weight and speed make them potential weapons when used irresponsibly and this has brought about quite a few laws to help protect both those in the cars and those outside as well as provide roadside assistance.

Drinking Drunk driving causes over 13,000 deaths every year, but most people still think nothing of having a couple of beers before hitting the road. Unfortunately, even if you don`t feel drunk, your reflexes are impaired and even a few seconds difference can cause death when dealing with a motor vehicle.

While there are laws against drinking and driving, it still lies in the hands of the people to stop this problem. If you`re going to go out partying, assign a designated driver or call a taxi to get home safely. And don`t let others who have been drinking get into the driver`s seat.

Novice Drivers New drivers are a high risk category. While everyone makes mistakes sometimes, some of those errors can be deadly. With this in mind, new laws have been passed in many states to help new drivers learn to drive safely. Extended learning periods, minimum required driving times and requiring new drivers to be accompanied by an older driver are all methods of keeping the roads secure while young people learn the ropes.

Alertness After you`ve been driving for a while, it`s easy to get complacent, especially if you are very familiar with the route you`re taking. Did you know that the majority of accidents take place within a few minutes from home? People are familiar with their neighborhood, so they tend not to pay as much attention as they ought to, with tragic results.

Road safety means paying attention and being alert. Stop completely at stop signs, pay attention to the lights and keep an eye out for the unexpected. It`s also important to wear a seat belt and to strap children into their car seats, even if you`re just popping down the street for a moment. It only takes a second for everything to change and you want to be prepared.

Motorbikes and Bicycles Of course, road safety isn`t only in the hands of those who drive heavier vehicles. Motorbikes are particularly dangerous to the rider because of the lack of protection. While a motorbike may not do nearly as much damage to a car as another vehicle might, these types of accidents have the highest rate of mortality. The safety factors can be boosted by using appropriate protective gear, driving responsibly and keeping the bike in good shape.

Bicycles can also affect road safety. We`ve all seen cyclists who fail to check behind them and swerve into traffic, or who dodge between vehicles in a hurry. This not only poses a threat to the cyclist, it can also cause a car accident as someone swerves to get out of the way. Drunk cycling might sound funny, but it`s also a huge cause of deaths in the US.

Road safety is something we all need to consider when out and about. Be responsible when you are out and about, whether on foot or driving and take care. Being safe is everyone`s responsibility as well as having CAA insurance.

Another avenue of car stereo sales are at expos and conventions. Most of the time, the good stuff come out at expos, whether it be a car expo, audio system expo, but usually the largest car stereo sale happens at a gathering of car audio manufacturers. Well, at these kinds of expos and conventions, its not usually a sale because the manufacturers usually try to get buyers for their newest product. If you have the money and youre out there to buy some serious hardware, then by all means, SPLURGE AWAY!

There are two kinds of mounting in a car stereo installation - ISO mounting: This is when the radio can be screwed to existing factory radio brackets, such as in most Japanese cars. - Ring mounting: This is when an aftermarket radio comes with a metal ring that gets mounted to the factory radio hole or aftermarket kit via bendable tabs. In many cars, dash and trim rings have to be filed to enlarge the radio hole. As soon as the ring is installed, the radio slides in and is held by snaps. In most cases, special tools are needed to remove the radio.

Other useful hints which might help: Another way to get a discount car stereo is to SUBSTITUTE. Like cars, Japanese made units are often cheaper than German/European/American made units. Also, look at the basics. What is it that you need, as in the most BASIC FEATURES? Do you really require that mesmerizing LED display, or can you do without it? the same for speakers too. If you are not going to enter a car audio competition and you just want to hear good treble and bass levels without making your speakers croak, maybe you can do away with a couple of 3way/4 way speakers. A large subwoofer will definitely need an amplifier, and those are already 2 things to buy.

For unconventional speaker locations, sometimes metal has to be cut. You might want to leave this to the professionals, tools like plasma cutters and pneumatics drills are needed. However if you are going to insist, a pair of metal snips (left and right cut) will do.

Look at any good car stereo system and youll probably see a Pioneer car stereo unit plugged into the console. Alongside with quality speakers and a strong lineup of accessories like LCD panels and navigational devices, Pioneer products/Pioneer car stereos have earned a huge following the world over.

Think about the words Motorcycle Club! Why is it that when those words are heard together many think Crime or Criminal Organization? Say you are having an event and you are looking for a place to have it. You can have a book club and everyone will welcome you in! A cooking club and everyone really loves you. You say Motorcycle Club and right away its, Sorry we are busy on that day!

Motorcycle Clubs are even turned away from bars where they want to have events by Independent Bikers,Why is that? We need to let the world know that Bikers independent or in a Motorcycle Club can be good people! We can not show people that Motorcycle Club Members are not all bad if we are not allowed in a Bar because we are wearing Colors, Its the same thing if you are an independent biker and some one will not let you in some sports bar because you are wearing a leather jacket! I hope when an independent Biker who has turned away Motorcycle Clubs from his bar and is then turned away from a bar he wants to go in Understands the irony!

Some Motorcycle Clubs have even gone so far as to changed their name, they call themselves Riding Clubs,Motorcycle associations or some other type of group so they can leave out the words Motorcycle Club! and try to avoid the problems that come with being part of a Motorcycle Club! They say they are different from a Motorcycle Club ! They look and dress and act just like a motorcycle Club but they just call themselves something different! I say a rose by any other name !!!

These Clubs are just trying to get around all the prejudice associated with the words Motorcycle Club ! They are not part of the solution but are part of the problem! This is America and You can call your Club what ever you want, But the thing that unites you and your Club is the same thing that unites all who Ride! It is the Motorcycle! How can anyone leave out the word Motorcycle? It is the heart of what you are!

If You are a Motorcycle Club be proud of it and don’t try to get around any problems by playing word games and calling yourself something else by using different words!!!

Appliances, gadgets and all the other electronic devices are all over the market these days. Besides the amount of use we have for these little things, they also increase something in our household: our electrical bills. If you own a business, you’ll find it a smart idea to actually become even partially independent of the main power grid.

In other countries like Germany and Australia, the amount of households that actually make use of renewable sources of energy is increasing by the minute. This is because their governments have passed a law which makes them earn more than the normal going rates for electricity if they generate their own in their backyard.

Solar power is probably the fastest growing source of renewable energy that’s getting a boom in popularity. More and more people are actually deciding to live independent from the grid and generate their own electricity within their own homes and it is such a good idea that there are several companies who pay the customers back for the excess electricity that they generated and put back to the grid.

In some homes, they even go as far as completely detaching themselves from the grid. They have systems large enough to support their whole electrical consumption and even probably take in a few low income homes under their wing as well. During the summer, the amount of electricity they generate gets extremely high and they won’t have to worry about bills no longer.

So what are you waiting for? This can be very useful not only for your household, but for your business too. Imagine how many dollars you can save if you use batteries to try and store your homemade electricity. The figures are something you can’t easily ignore.

One way you can know a true model train hobbyist is by the way he relates to his collection. He will never call it a toy train, it will forever be a model train. To actually refer to a collector’s train set as a toy, is a bit of an insult, and they wont be long in correcting you.

Toy trains are simplex replicas made for for small children. They are not near as detailed or as intricate as the model trains are. And also, they are not almost as pricy.

Once you see some of the prices attached to these trains, you will no doubt agree that they are not for kids. Toy trains are great for kids who have an interest in trains. In actuality, they can be a stepping-stone for more fundamental involvement next time. The toy trains have no where near the detail that the model trains do. The model trains are exact replicas of the real thing.

In the beginning, the first toy trains were functioned by winding them up, And so various were in reality run by steam. This is relating to the 19th century period where they were well known in United States and United Kingdom. Soon enough, they became more sophisticated in that they could change direction, and even puff smoke. They were quickly becoming like the real thing.

The realism and detail found in the model trains of today is exquisite. There are some gauges and scales of these model trains available. And also, there is no shortage on scenery and accessories. The hobby has got to the point that model trains could be operated by computers and they can even set on a timetable nowadays.

There is no need to be lonely when it gets to this hobby too. There is a significant meeting of clubs and associations in nearly any city forever looking out for new hobbyists.

Soon to follow with his super model trains, Josh came out with a different gauge, and this was a moderate three rail O gauge. He had promptly seen the need for a train that would be more adaptable to home sizes and could generate off the electricity. That’s just what this gauge granted and is still a very favorited model now.

Other train producers were quickly becoming acknowledged as well. For example the in 1907, the American Flyer joined the industry. Owned by 2 friends, William Coleman and William Hafner. They had determined they wanted to try out with keeping prices down in the lithography region. They tried numerous tin type materials but the quality was bad, so they were not favorited.It was actually this organization that started out making clockwork trains first.

Eventually the partnership came to an end and Hafner went on his own manufacturing the American flyer electric train set. Originally, he went with the O gauge, but soon went into the common gauge that Lionel had set.

Just before the attack of the war, Hafner sold out the American flyer in 1938. And the new owner was A C Gilbert. Once the war began, every last model train making had to end. Every the attention had to be put on the war. Pre-existing to this though Gilbert had converted the gauge from HO to O. So in 1946, the S gauge was presented. The Lionel Organisation had the superior bound in the industry and Gilbert was unable to compete. He could not keep up with the mass production and the cost of Lionels. Gilbert stopped production in 1966 and precisely after this; Lionel took over the possession of the American Flyer.

The love for model trains lives on today and will no doubt go on to do so for some years to come. The new fads and toys that reach the market every yr will never replace the beloved train sets.

Do you know the proper auto insurance laws of your state? Do you know how much coverage you need? Or, what is the minimum coverage required? Do you have liability insurance? What will happen if you drive to another state and get pulled over?

The best source for your insurance laws is your insurance company. They will be able to answer the questions you want to ask them and be sure that you are covered in every instance. After all, it’s their job to know. Have your questions ready when you call them to save time and make sure that you don’t forget anything.

In each state, there is a minimum requirement of coverage that must be accounted for. Some states require one or two, but all three types of coverage are “injury to another”, “injury to all people”, “damage to property”. Some state require liability only, other require all three.

The general rule is that you need proper coverage for the states you drive through as well. If the state you’re traveling through needs more coverage than you have, it’s your responsibility to extend the coverage for the states you travel through.

You can choose instruments that will be exempt from insurance coverage. This can be a moped or motorcycle in some states. This will save you gas money and insurance money. Unfortunately, they are unsafe and the odds of you getting hurt are greater than a car.

You must keep proof of insurance on you at all times. If you were pulled over, you are required to provide it. If you don’t, then you must appear in court and show proof or you will be fined heavily. Appearing in court is not a fun thing to do, be sure you have your proof at all times.

The biggest factor in finding cheap auto insurance is keeping your driving record clean. Knowing a little bit about the laws can help a great deal!

Correct car servicing is important if one expects to have the benefit of an excellent car performance over the span of many years. As the cost of owning a automobile continues to rise, paying attention to appropriate car service maintenance will permit lengthier car ownership. Over time, this extended ownership time will help decrease the costs of vehicle loan expenditures and interest charges. It’s vital to understand how to locate a quality car servicing place, as well as how to avoid getting suckered by crooked repair shops.

When trying to discover a worthy car service repair location, be sure to understand a few time-tested considerations on the topic. First of all, don’t wait to come across a stand up car servicing location until one is in fact needed. The most horrible thing is to suffer a mishap and then be stuck going to the nearest repair place. Family and friends are a great method to be introduced to a possible repair shop. If they’ve received excellent repairs, chances are the repair shop provides the equal service to every one of their patrons. Before making a final verdict, though, be certain to ask for a few extra references and then ask those folks about their thoughts.

Correct car servicing calls for knowledge of a few necessary maintenance tips. Costly car service repairs can be kept away from by keeping to a maintenance timetable. Be certain to inspect the oil level at least once a week. Let the car run for about thirty seconds, turn off, and then hang around for about two minutes or so. Then draw out the oil dipstick, wipe it off, put it back in, and then draw it out one more time. This will give a correct determination of the oil level.

There are a multitude of car service time intervals to be aware of. A few important ones are as follows: at every 3 months or 3000 miles, the oil should be changed. Change the spark plugs every 30,000 to 50,000 miles. Every 6,000 miles or so, rotate the tires. It used to be that a timing belt would be replaced every 60,000 miles, but today some have varying intervals and owner’s manuals should also be read. At every 15,000 to 20,000 miles, align the tires. At every 35,000 to 40,000 miles, the fuel filter should be changed. Paying attention to car servicing periods such as those described above will help make certain that a automobile lasts for a long time.

Purchasers of Volvo cars must always focus on the already discussed car service periods as well as consulting their instruction books for timely Volvo service on their auto. All Volvos should be worked on at the acceptable service intervals that are discussed in Volvo Service Records booklets or at one of the various Volvo dealerships. By taking notice of all car servicing obligations on the body and under the hood, Volvo purchasers can keep their autos in excellent condition and enjoy their driving experience for a lot of years.

Another facet to car servicing to be aware of are car service repair scams. A grouping of people who are frequently victims of this type of fraud are the aged. One such swindle occurs when an apparently caring person flags an aged person down. This scam artist tells the auto owner that it looks like the car requires repairs. The rip-off artist then gets the car up on the jack and untightens the tire so it will wiggle. The older person is tricked into giving the rip-off artist money to repair the challenge.

When taking an automobile in for car servicing, understand that there are some repair establishments will add falsely needed repairs to the work form in order to increase profits. Taking the car to another car service repair location can help to figure out whether the added repairs are truly needed or not.

Driving a auto requires much more than just adding gasoline when the car gets low. By understanding the fundamentals of car servicing, a vehicle can be made to last much longer than the average person realizes. Many repair shops, such as those found at many Volvo service places, are made up of honest individuals. However, it’s always a good idea to take the time to realize the car service process.

Are hybrid cars your best option? Lets face it, the average car consumer today has a lot of choice in a vehicle and a hybrid car is only one of those options. Everyone has heard the claims that the hybrid car will save the environment and help put an end to global warming.

Hybrid cars can save lots of money in fuel bills. It may or may not be not quite as much as car makers claim.

One of the biggest advantages of hybrid cars is its use of two power sources for its movement. Hybrid cars combine electric power sources and gasoline power sources. This is the most unique design to ever be successful in the automotive industry

This allows the car to stop using gasoline while idling and run on electric power only, and run on a combination of the two during normal city driving. Many would have you believe this is a perfect system and unnoticeably different from a standard car, this is an exaggeration.

Hybrid cars have advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that you will reduce your gasoline consumption considerably and it will have an impact on the fuel emissions released into the atmosphere.

The disadvantage is that hybrid cars can be a bit slow to accelerate and often have an annoying noise associated with the electric motor.

Another advantage for hybrid cars are the many purchase incentives available. Currently most of the major car manufacturers are offering a cash incentive for buying a hybrid car. Add that to the tax breaks you can get for owning a hybrid car, and that is a pretty nice savings you have for yourself.

Not only that but you will save money on gasoline purchases with the significant increase in mileage between fill-ups. Also, hybrids cars tend to be more reliable than standard model cars.

By no means can it be claimed that you will never have a breakdown or problem with it, but problems will occur much less often. This will save you even more of your hard earned dollars on costly repairs.

Overall it seems that the hybrid car is a great investment to make. These days there are no limitations on hybrid cars. It will prove to be a reliable and environmentally friendly machine.

If you want an SUV or a luxury sedan, there is a more than decent hybrid alternatives. Enjoy the benefits that you can get and consider a hybrid car as one of your better options.
