Why are there differnt rules for Motorcycle Clubs

By LJ James

Motorcycle Clubs that have lots of Chapters have problems where Government agencies try to say they are Criminal organizations. Now if you are part of something say a Business Association and you need a dentist and you have a dentist as part of your Association most likely you are going to work with him.

Now lets say your part of an Association with 20 chapters and 1 guy from your group deals drugs. Then he meets another guy from a different chapter of your Association who deals drugs too. He then meets another guy from another chapter of your group who deals drugs and then a few more and soon you have 10 guys from 10 different chapters of your group dealing drugs together across the country. Now again this could be any type of group.

Now lets say those ten guys get caught dealing the drugs. When in came time to arrest them would all the Members of the Association all across the Country get arrested ? Let me be very clear here. My question to you is, Is the whole Association guilty of a crime or is it just the ten who who committed the crimes?

Well the answer is a little crazy, If it is a church group well then it is only the ten people dealing the drugs that are Guilty. If it is members of a Police force, The Answer could be no one is Guilty! But now if it is a Motorcycle Club then the answer always seems to be everyone is Guilty!

Why does there seem to be different sets of rules that depend on who you are or who you are Associated with? We all know that in reality only the ten guys who committed the crimes are guilty. Just like any other group in the world a Motorcycle Club can have members who Commit Crimes. Why should there be harsher sets of rules and penalties because the Members of a Club happen to enjoy riding Motorcycles?

The History Of American Train Series - Lionel Model Trains

By Jack Dubus

The American Flyer is in all probability the most famous of all model train series. They did achieve their peaks around the 40's and some other peak in the 60's, they are around longer than that. Their popularity is also very popular nowadays too and they are,i personally reckons that they will be hanging around another 100 years!

A toy maker in Chicago called William Hafner, in the very early 20th century built a model train developed on a clockwork motor, primarily for the use in toy cars. By about 1905 how ever he decided to put them into use in model trains too. Good thing he did, the model cars sold no where near as well as the trains.

William Hafner and his partner share the same name, William Coleman approached a small manufacturer of hardware, Edmonds-Metzel. They used this company to start selling clockwork trains in 1907.

They were first marketed under the name of Edmond Metzel trains, as they were selling so well they needed a perfectly new name and they came up with the name of the American Flyer. This occur around 1910. Even the name of the hardware company they were using had also changed its name to incorporate the American Flyer name in it.

They were very popular and there are numerous reasons for it. They were quite cheaper then some other popular makes of model trains at the time and because they were also quite a bit more practical then more budget style model trains of the time.

Mr William Hafner draw out from the enterprise around 1913. He used the funds he had already made and set up his own corporation. Colemans American Flyer Trains. It did well for quite some time around the first world war. There was little to no competition at the time due to the war efforts. Right before the break out in 1938, the founders son with the same name,took over the business after his father died in 1918 traded the American Flyer to a firm called A C Gilbert Company. Gilbert already had experience in producing toys, but had never done so with trains.

At the same time he decided to moved the corporation from Chicago where it was established to New Haven in Connecticut where he lived. He also began to drastically re design the American Flyer and turned it into an S-scale model train in 1939. This scale is a modification of the popular O scale or model which was then the leader on the market.

The S-scale was much smaller then the O-scale and this made it more famous with enthusiasts as it needed less room to setup a decent track. The scale is 1:64, considerably smaller then the O-scale yet still very detailed and accurate.

He also made another change in 1946 that amended the realisticness of the American flyer more so. Model trains, electric model trains at that time had been run on 3 rail tracks. Not realistic. He modified it so they ran on 2 rail tracks, much like their huge counterparts. These tracks had 7/8th inches 'tween every rail. This made the trains function better as well.

How ever, television was starting to take hold at this time also. This distracted many from their hobbies they would normally spend their extra time on. Likewise at this time, discount chain stores came into play, discounting train sets that organizations like A C Gilbert could not compete with. in 1962, Gilbert traded the American Flyer to Wrather Group. This organisation produced toys as well, but usually on a huge scale and tended to make poor quality as well. Sales of course fell through the floor and in 1967 the corporation went bankrupt.

A higher-ranking toy train maker and the market leader at time, Lionel Corp purchased the American Flyer. This company itself was having trouble with finances as well and they too went bankrupt in 1969, so they sold off the rights to the American Flyer to some other maker, General Mills.

This firm, General Mills, started selling numerous of the designs of the original designed Gilbert American Flyer, it however sell everything it purchased from at that time Lionel Corporation to Kenner, who then in turn sold the organisation to a man named Richard Kughn. This occurred in 1985.

Mr Richard Kughn had large success with the firm and design for 11 years, but he sold out in 1996 to a enterprise also known as Wellspring Partners, who then took on the first name of Lionel and named themselves Lionel LLC, which still operates now.

They sell the S-scale American Flyer still. They were initially focusing on selling some other scale models, but in 2002 they started selling more and more of the American Flyer.

The American Flyer now is more then one hundred years old and has gone through many extraordinary hands. It is still famous and growing stronger and stronger. Lionel trains will not disappear so fast - 20605

The Orbit That Makes Modern Life Possible

By James Gilbert Pynn

Chances are if you ask the average person if he or she has ever heard of Arthur C. Clarke they will respond with a glazed look in their eyes. But, if you then played the opening bars of Strausss Thus Spoke Zarathustra and mentioned Stanley Kubrick, you may actually get a flicker of recognition. If you spoke the famous line, Open the pod bay doors, HAL! you could well get a big smile and a definitive Right, right!

Such is the relative obscurity most science fiction writers, even writers as esteemed as Clarke, toil under. Although venerated within select circles, authors like Clarke, Philip K. Dick, Robert Heinlein, and Isaac Asimov, are seldom celebrated or recognized by the culture at large. Literary or even cultural obscurity is one thing, but to fail to recognize a scientific breakthrough is shameful.

The awareness of Clarke as a great writer is one thing, but his real, scientific contributions are another. Few people are aware of the fact he pioneered the concept upon which modern global satellite communication is based. Having served in the Royal Air Force from 1941 through 1946 as a radar instructor and technician, Clarke first proposed the idea of a satellite-based communications system in 1945. He proposed geostationary satellites could be used as telecommunication relays in a paper entitled Extra-Terrestrial Relays, which was published in Wireless World in 1945.

This simple idea has had a profound affect on our daily lives, especially with regards to GPS tracking systems. It is easy to take the technology that makes cellphones and instant driving directions possible for granted. By triangulating a receiver on a phone or GPS device, satellites can pinpoint our location and lead us, as it were, to the Promised Land. A bit much to ask of a cellphone? Nonsense.

It is a testament to his genius that he could envisioned the potential of the satellite well before the computer was little more than conjecture. He claimed the idea came from his experience with radar systems, wherein objects and their direction and trajectory can be accessed by the bounce effect of radar waves off metallic objects. GPS tracking systems and wireless telecommunications work on the same principle of deflected and directed waves, all triangulated by the sea of satellites orbiting the earth. A great debt is owed to this bold visionary. - 20605

If you would like to pay homage to Clarke, simply invest in a reliable GPS tracking system. From car-mounted units to new smart phones, a GPS tracking system is well within your grasp, unlike the satellites that make them possible.

Truck Insurance

By Steve Turner

Trucking insurance does not come cheap. It is much harder to find low priced insurance rates for trucks than automobiles. There are various reasons why this is; hopefully, you can become more familiar with the business and find the cheapest rates possible.

Trucks are proven to be more accountable for wrecks. They have a higher probability because of the time spent behind the wheel. This causes fees to go up and fewer companies wanting to help you.

Trucks are extra costly because it is valued and depended on by many companies. Because trucks are worth more, they are less affordable to insure. If anything did happen, trucks are hard to restore.

Trucks are a liability; they outsize other automobiles. They are hefty and can cause damage. Because of the destruction trucks are capable of, insurance companies see them as a threat. They charge more if the person or motorized vehicle is a risk on the road.

Seems how trucks transport important items, thieves are attracted to them. They not only steel the treasure, but the truck too. That is a huge problem for companies trying to protect drivers.

Going online is a fantastic way to find low-priced quotes. The web allows you to shop around at multiple insurance companies. Once you have found the best policy for you, call and ask questions. Get the deals you deserve to get cheap trucking insurance.

After buying trucking insurance get your payments in on time, drive carefully, and obey the laws of the road. Take care of your truck and always be insured. Good luck with your search for cheap insurance; hopefully, it will benefit you to the fullest extent. - 20605

HHO Gas Car Kit Plans Increase Gas Mileage

By Pete Roberts

HHO gas generators, fuel cells and car kits can help increase gas mileage. As gasoline or petrol spirals out of control you may be looking at gas alternatives to help reduce costs of operating a vehicle. What if there was and HHO gas plans were available for a car or truck and worked with diesel fuel?

HHO gas is referred to sometimes as browns gas or hydroxy. Brown's gas is the best solution or gas additive or sorts to increase mileage. HHO gas has been referred to as hydrogen on demand but what you get is 2 gases when broken down; hydrogen and oxygen. What you should see is fewer pollution from your tail pipe.

The process of electrolysis converts water to HHO gas a combination of hydrogen on oxygen. The HHO car seen in the news uses the same gas that has been used in high temperature welding applications for years and what you will get is a hybrid HHO car. By supplementing HHO gas with your fuel you could increase gas mileage.

You may see fuel savings of 15 - 40 % with this HHO Gas and you may gain horse power and a smother quieter engine. Can you do this with a conventional fuel additive? HHO gas plans should show you step by step details and pictures to help make your hybrid HHO car.

An HHO generator or car kit is easy to build and should make a nice day or weekend project. A HHO car kit will easily fit under the hood of most cars or trucks and should only take a few hours to install. Once installed it only takes a few minutes of maintenance a month to check the water and catalyst.

You can find free HHO gas plans but they often are missing some details. The best plans will show you how to build a HHO generator from common parts that you may have or can purchase. Installation requires very little engine modification. Why spend several hundred dollars or more for a HHO car kit when you can build one for much less. - 20605

The First Banning of a Motorcycle Clubs Colors in the USA

By LJ James

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. Not only are the Members not aloud to wear their Colors, but any item that's has their Colors on it must be forfeited upon demand. I can not expect many 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 American Citizen! Today I am sure most probably will not even hear about it and those that do will probably not care! What has happen 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 MCs would some how come together on some level and work out the problems. I have been getting 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, Murderers in the National Football League and in Major League Baseball everyday. When was the last time you heard of a Biker running a Dogfighting 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 law 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 always happens this way, 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/ 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 America 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 weed? 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 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 for tomorrow it will be time to hide!!!

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!!!

Chartered Cruise for Corporate or Business Use

By Amy Nutt

In Toronto, there are many cruses that are offered out of the Toronto Harbour. Of those cruises are corporate or business cruises. These are great for meetings. Companies are always looking for new places to have meetings so that those attending are entertained. It is important to keep the environment as professionally comfortable as possible. Having a good listening environment means that the meeting will be a success.

In the meantime, the cruise provides many amenities to those attending. In other words, having a meeting on one of the Toronto Harbour boat cruises is quite the treat to those within your company or within other companies you are meeting with.

It makes you look professional

Something that is unique about Toronto Harbour boat cruises for business meetings is the fact that it makes your company look extremely professional. It reflects what kind of class your business really does have.

You have catered meals, a meeting room that is like a boardroom, but doesn't have the stuffiness that comes along with it, and you have everything you need to conduct a meeting. So this means that everyone gets to know what it is they need to know, they get fed, and they feel good by the time the meeting is over.

Everyone can then wander around if they like so that they may consort with one another and simply have a good time. Basically, if you want to have a meeting on a Toronto Harbour boat cruise, you can set a whole evening aside for drinks, food, and a good time. It is a great time for individuals to exchange ideas, so this can be a great opportunity for everyone.

Through the exchanging of ideas, you are able to bring things into your company that you would not be able to bring otherwise. This is because a comfortable environment such as this tends to bring things out in people that you would normally not see. If you keep the meeting in your stuffy old boardroom, then everyone is going to be uptight and in "business mode." If you can make them feel comfortable in their skin, then you might be quite amazed in what you may find in your fellow businessman.

It is good for PR

If your company is booking a Toronto Harbour boat cruise for your next meeting, this is good PR. You can make sure people know about it. If you reserve the entire ship, then people are going to know this and they are going to say, "Wow, this must be some business to reserve an entire ship." That's because you are definitely a great company and this means more people are going to find out about it.

You can also use chartered cruises to meet new clients. If you need to win them over in order to get a new contract, then this is going to be quite impressive. You can make sure they are pampered, fed, and that they feel comfortable. If they feel comfortable with you, they will most likely give you the deal. This is because people are more likely to go with what they are comfortable with. If they feel uncomfortable, they will not feel good about the entire situation.

So go ahead and look into Toronto Harbour cruises as a way to win over your next client, treat your employees, or conduct that next important meeting. Everyone will be thanking you for it, it increases your reputation, and you can get more work done that way. You can make it an annual event if you need to, a semi-annual event, or you can conduct your meetings on cruises as often as you need to. - 20605

Mortal Skulls Motorcycle Club a Run for Awareness

By LJ James

Mortal Skulls Motorcycle Club a Run for Awareness

Do you remember the Story of 11-year-old Carlie Brucia? Carlie was the little girl from LI NY who while staying with her mother down in FL was kidnapped and murdered on Super Bowl Sunday, 2004. Her abduction was captured on video in front of the car wash where she was Kidnapped by Joseph P. Smith, who has since been found Guilty of first-degree murder, sexual battery and kidnapping.

The story was carried nationwide and was heartbreaking to all who heard it. Now there is an old saying that every dark cloud has a silver lining and if that is true then the silver lining here is Matt Barbis, Carlie's Cousin who started the Rose Brucia Educational Foundation (http://rosebrucia.org) with the Mission of reducing child abductions.

Matt goes around to Schools and preforms Puppet Shows and teaches children how to react and what to do if someone ever tries to adduct them. As you can imagine Matt's Mission does not come without its costs and the Foundation runs on Donations from Groups,Individuals and Businesses.

Matt who Rides a Motorcycle had seen the good that Bikers on Long Island do to Raise Money for those in need, He wanted to Start a Motorcycle Run to help raise Money for the Foundation. A Motorcycle Run is a lot of work and Matt was Referred to the Mortal Skulls Motorcycle Club (http://Mortalskulls.com) Who do a Run and/or Benefit every year.

When the Mortal Skulls MC heard Matt's story and what his Mission was they quickly decided that this would be the run and benefit they would be doing for many years to come.What better cause can there be then keeping Children Safe? said one of the Members.

For the past 3 years now on the Third Sunday in June the Mortal Skulls Motorcycle Club have hosted the run and raised money for the foundation, The run starts every year at the Bellmore NY Train station on Sunrise Hwy,with sign up from 10:30 am till 12 Noon, and has ended at local Long Island Bars with live Music, food,Appearances by local NY Celebrities and so much more. The recommended Donation for the event is $10 per person and Run Shirts are available for an additional $10 with every penny of the Proceeds going to the Rose Brucia Educational Foundation. The Mortal Skulls Motorcycle Club Thank all who have come out to help and Support the event every year! This Fundraiser has quickly grown into a huge Long Island NY event, With the continued Support of the Long Island biker world and appearances by Celebrates it will continue to grow for many years to come!!!

Motorcycle Club Mentality Versus The Biker Gang Mentality

By LJ James

I want to talk a little about the Brotherhood mentality versus the gang mentality in the Motorcycle Club world . Now for those of you who may be asking what is the difference? I will set up a scene to help give you an idea! At a small Bar a member of a Motorcycle Club walks in he sees four Bikers playing pool, He can tell they are a bit nervous, They see his patches and they know who he is with. Now how does he act? Does he walk over to the pool table knock the 8 ball in the pocket say games over and tell one of them to buy him a beer? Or does he walk over introduce himself and let them know when they are done shooting pool they are welcome to stop over at the bar have a beer and talk with him! One is the gang way of thinking the other is the Brotherhood way of thinking! I really don't think I need to tell you which is which!

Now one thing everyone needs to remember is all of the original Motorcycle Clubs Started out with the idea of being a tight nit group of Brothers and just about all of these Motorcycle Clubs got along. Don't forget many of the men who started the first MCs where returning home after serving their country during times of war. They were looking for that feeling of Brotherhood here at home that they had been left behind. These were good men seeking adventure, looking to ride their Motorcycles and have a good time with others like themselves. Today most Motorcycle Clubs have gone back to that way of Club thinking, There are very few Clubs left that still have the Gang Mentality that was seen mostly during the 70's threw 90's. During the late 90's things had just gotten too far out of hand and most Motorcycle Clubs began to realize the Gang Mentality was not the way it was meant to be and it was not the way they wanted it to be anymore, This was not what the Clubs were started for ! Many Clubs who had been friends were now fighting with each other. No one wanted to wear club support gear and things were just not fun anymore. These MC's had all started their Clubs with the same ideals and ways of thinking, How and why had they grown so far apart that they now hated each other!

Well the answer to how is during the 50's and 60's the golden age of the Brotherhood years of Motorcycling, The Motorcycle Clubs were really huge. During this great time many of the Biker Movies that came out showed Motorcycle Club Members as Bullies and Thugs. The Bikers in these movies would pick on those weaker then them, take over small towns and the Clubs in these Movies all fought each other just like the street gangs of the time! So of course over time many new Bikers came to believe that this was the way it was. So when New Clubs started this was how they would act and the Original Motorcycle Clubs now had members who where young kids looking to prove how tough they were by starting fights with each other. The Original Motorcycle Club Members had been threw real wars together and they were as hard as nails and had nothing to prove to no one! But many younger members felt that they had something to prove and would imitate the Biker Clubs from the Movies they had scene and soon it was Biker against Biker, Brother against Brother, MC against MC. Thus began the Dark age of the Motorcycle Gang Mentality years.

Now for the question Why did this Happen? Well When something Changes the way of thinking and being of Groups like the Motorcycle Clubs so far from their original ideals, You have to ask was it just an accident these movies did this? Or was there more to it? Was there a plan behind it? Is there someone or some group out there that would benefit from having these large groups of Motorcycle Clubs who are run in a very military fashion and are made up of many ex-Military Members fighting against each other? If these Clubs all got along and worked together the world could be a very Different place! The Motorcycle world certainly would be! Are there people out there who are afraid of this happening?

Today there are very few Clubs left that have the Gang Mentality. Most have gone back to the Brotherhood way and the word Gang in the Motorcycle Club world has become almost the equivalent of a racial slur. Now as Motorcycle Clubs are beginning to go back to the way it was at the start and trying to put the past behind them, I am noticing that there are more and more Biker movies and TV shows Coming out. Will these shows show MC's in a good way? Will they go out of their way to stir up the quarrels of the past? Will they show us as mindless Bullies much as the Movie Wild Hogs did? Most Important will we let them influence how we really are? Or have we learned from our past? If all continues to go well we could soon be making our way into the Second Golden age of Motorcycle Club Brotherhood back to where it all Started !!!

All Bikers need to ask themselves, Are you part of the Problem or part of the Solution?

Catskill MT Thunder Motorcycle Gathering 2008

By LJ James

Most of us know that when the first settlers came to America they where following a dream! What most do not know is that many of those dreams where inspired by paintings of the Catskill Mountains. At the beginning of this country's history artists where mesmerized by the beauty of these mountains and painted many pictures of them. These pictures where sent and sold all over the world and they had a large part in creating what later became know as the American dream.

Fast forward a couple Hundred years to September 10th through the 14th 2008 and now what draws hundreds of American Bikers every year to the Catskill Mountains is the Blackthorne Resort in East Durham and the Catskill Mountain Thunder Motorcycle Rally. This event which is a weekend get away for some and a week long party for others has just about everything a biker dreams of. Even though the Blackthorne Resorts grounds are large, they do fill up fast and Bikers reserve there Cabins, RV sites or Camp sites up to a year in advance just to make sure there is room for them on the grounds. (There are plenty of other resorts in the area who welcome the Biker overflow from the Blackthorne) Me and my Brother Mopar Tom arrived on Thursday Night and the first thing We did was to check out what seemed like a million vendors, Who where selling every thing from Motorcycle stickers to Custom Motorcycles.Then of course it was time to grab some drinks. First drink was at the Tikki Bar by the large in ground pool. The Second was at the Blackthorne's on premise full service bar. Not wanting to over do it on my first night there (I would save that for my second night) I called it an early night at around 2am and was off to get some sleep.

On Friday the fuse was lit and the weekend festivities got into full swing. I spent the day wandering around the Blackthorne checking ever thing out drinking and partying with Hundreds of new and old friends. As the sun went down and the Night began things just got better! I watched Bikers take their Motorcycles up in the air and do Ariel Burn outs as I listened to the Music of Molly Hatchet LIVE !

The Nights at Blackthorne Run late and the Mornings come early! Some Choose to start their days off riding around the incredible Catskill Mountains, either in a group on a guided tour or by themselves with no destination at all. The roads in the Catskills go on forever and even after many years of riding them each trip still offers something new ! My favorite spot to ride to has been for many years Nicks Waterfall House in Gilboa, In my opinion no ride threw the Catskills is Complete with out a big burger and a cold beer at Nicks!

Others who don't wake till the afternoon can spend their day's at the Blackthorne checking out the vendors buying new Biker gear,Watching Rhett Rotten and his amazing vintage Wall of Death Motorcycle stunt show, Looking at the art work of Ron Finch,Placing their votes for their favorites in the Bike show, participating in the Bike games or enjoying a list of many other wickedly fun Biker activities. Saturday Night again offered Bikers more then they could handle plus Female Spaghetti Wrestling, Live Ultimate Fighting bouts, Lots more live music and plenty of late night partying. On Sunday some Bikers headed home while others hung around for another day of fun including a pig roast!

I have been a biker all my life. To this very day the bond of Brotherhood that is shared by bikers still stuns me. I'm not sure if the fact that the Blackthorne is a family resort every other week of the year has anything to do with it, But I found the feeling of Brotherhood and Family to be very strong at this event. When I can hangout and party with Bikers I have just met and feel like I have known them for Twenty years, It strongly reinforces all the reasons I love being a Biker!

I have left out many great things about the Blackthorne and its Catskill Mountain Thunder Motorcycle Rally, The reason for this is because if you missed this event you do not deserve to know all its secrets until you have attended it for yourself !!! Check out CatskillMountainThunder.com and reserve your spot for next years party today!

I'll see you there! Your Bro L.J. James AmericanBikerX.com Radio Show BikerLowdown.com - 20605

stumblehere suprised me

By Julia Easton

Selling my vehicle on stumblehere.com was painless. I was suprised because I have never heard of this site before.

I posted my ad on kijiji and somebody contacted me saying they we using stumblehere.com with great success.

As soon as he told me he was with some other website I was turned off. I told him that I was happy with what I had already done. I sure am glad that he has dealt with people like me in the past. He kept on just trying to get me to listen.

I had not heard of stumblehere.com before. Something about the name made me want to try it. I decided that the ad syndication they were promoting sounded like something I wanted to try.

I was finally interested. The way he explained it to me was that after I create a login and post a Betterpost ad that it will then be part of their syndication efforts.

LJ James talks about The FX Show "Sons Of Anarchy"

By LJ James

I have just finished reviewing the 2nd episode of the new FX show "Son's of Anarchy". I have been a fan of the FX Show "The Shield" for years and I have to say, I have enjoyed "Sons of Anarchy" so far. The show has great bikes and lots of action!

As a Member of an Outlaw Motorcycle Club, I have already seen many mistakes in the show. One thing that's really surprising to me is how people have reacted to the show and me personally. People who know I'm a member of a Motorcycle Club are asking me, "You guys aren't like that, are you?" Some of these people have known me for years! Now after a couple of episodes of "Sons of Anarchy" their wondering if I'm leading some kind of double life.

Can you imagine if a show about criminal killer Florists came out? Would people ask them if they where really like that? One fact of life about being a Biker I have come to except is, it's real easy for people to think of Bikers as the bad guys. It's always been that way. I wonder how many Cops had people ask them the same question when the Shield came out? I also wonder how many Cops who watch the Shield and know that show is fiction will watch "Sons of Anarchy" and think that's how Motorcycle Clubs really are! The show "Sons of Anarchy" is fiction and it is way over the top.

Son's of Anarchy is going to shine a lot of light onto the Motorcycle Club world. Where as the last 10 years have been all about Motorcycle Builders and has led to a lot of people getting into Motorcycle Riding, I believe the next 10 years will be all about Motorcycle Clubs. Now this show could be a good thing for Motorcycle Clubs if, in-between all the fictional action, it also focuses on the bond of Brotherhood Motorcycle Clubs are based on.

Although there is opportunity for "Sons of Anarchy" to make a positive statement about Motorcycle Clubs, I have a feeling the show will have a negative impact on Clubs, Independent Bikers, and the Motorcycle Community in general. By highlighting the good Motorcycle Clubs do and the positive impact that they have on their communities, I don't think that is the way the program is going.

All the Motorcycle Clubs out there are going to need to keep their eyes wide open and watch any new prospects. MCs need to make sure that new prospects are there for the Brotherhood and betterment of the Club and the community. You don't want prospects to live out some misguided fantasy they may have seen on TV or in some Movie. Another big concern of mine is people who will just go out and throw on a set of patches and think they are the "Sons of Anarchy". The Motorcycle Club world is all about Respect and there is a serious protocol that is followed by all Clubs. I would not recommend violating that protocol in any way.

Motorcycle Clubs have spent the past 20 years working hard to shake the old biker gang stereotype of the 60's and 70's. Now that we have come close to accomplishing our goal, shows like "Sons of Anarchy" and the upcoming HBO show 1% are here to drag our image back into the muck. How far will these shows set us back? I would ask the producers of these shows, there sponsors, and everyone else out there to please remember that Brotherhood is what the Motorcycle Club world is truly about.

Information on your Kentucky Automobile Insurance Statement

By Steve Turner

You should receive a statement periodically from your insurance company explaining your coverages. This statement is a basic breakdown of the coverage you have, and how each part adds to the total premiums. This post will try to explain where or if you can save money on your insurance

In your printout, you will see a number of different sections, including your liability limits, comprehensive coverage, and PIP, or Personal Injury Protection. As the prices for each of these add up, you might get a little nervous, and want to dump some or even all of them. It is important to know that while some of these are optional, most of them are required by law.

The biggest contributor to your price is probably going to be your liability limits. Kentucky requires minimum coverages of $25,000/$50,000/$10,000. Although it is against the law to be insured for less than this, it is a good idea to bump your coverage to something higher like $100,000/$30,000/$100,000. This increases your premium, but it is the last place where you should cut back.

One of the most heavily debated areas is PIP. It is heavily debated between experts whether or not this is important and whether it should be legal. Regardless of what you think is right, it is required to have $10,000 in PIP by the state of Kentucky. This is expensive, but there is nothing you can do about this part.

If you are in desperate need to lower your premiums, comprehensive may be the best area. Although this is a helpful coverage that pays for the damages to your own car, it is not required by law. Although it isn't illegal to drop this coverage, you may be required to keep it by your lien holder if you have borrowed to buy your car.

If you do own your car, you can save money by dropping this coverage, but use discretion. If you drive an expensive car and you total it in an accident, this decision could come back to haunt you because you would have to replace it out of pocket. The only reason you would consider dropping it is if you have a car that isn't worth much. - 20605
