Motorbiked: January 2010
http://motorbiked.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 27, 2010. My 848 was stolen from my garage a couple of weeks ago. It is a gated garage and the bike was chained to a concrete post. What could I have done to prevent it? What can I do in the future? What can I suggest? This is still a deterrent: chains can still be cut with torches relatively quickly. What else? Investing on a GPS locator. Have helped recover it, but I'm not so sure. Triumph sent me a 6-month no-down, no-payments, no-interest deal on the Daytona 675. How convenient.

Motorbiked: December 2008
http://motorbiked.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 7, 2008. Accidents happen. don't they? But not to everyone. What, then, separates "us" from "them"? Obviously we want to be on the non-accident prone riders. In fact, it doesn't matter if you've had an accident or not, you don't want to have an accident in the future, so it's irrelevant if you have or not. You want to be with those who never will. Well, what is an accident? It's a situation that hurts us, and/or the bike. Can you have an accident without consequences? Oh, but surely walk...

Motorbiked: March 2009
http://motorbiked.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 9, 2009. I remember reading at some point about what The Right Lane Position should be. I seem to recall reading that it was at the center of the lane, so the drivers could see you in their rearview mirrors. First of all, what will a driver do about it? Nothing. They can only get out of your way and yield the lane to you if you're coming faster. That's nice, but that doesn't make you a safer rider. I have found that the best position is on one third of the lane. This riding position is.

Wednesday, January 23, 2008. So you want a motorcycle. Are you within the 98% of the population* who wish they could get a motorcycle? It's is easier than it seems, and it also can be much safer than you think. The other 2% are unable to wish. Getting on a bike. Getting on your bike is as simple as:. Hunt around for the bike you like. It really is that simple. I'll go into more detail in future posts. On your path to riding, the MSF course. Comes first because you don't need to purchase anything and it a...

Motorbiked: Which one is for me?
http://motorbiked.blogspot.com/2008/01/which-one-is-for-me.html
Tuesday, February 12, 2008. Which one is for me? First: let's make it clear that there is no such thing as "the right motorcycle". You can ask around and the only consistent thing you will get is a bunch of different opinions. Here goes another one:. Let's assume you're reading this because it will be your first. You probably don't need my opinion if you've already owned one. What kind of motorcycles are there? Most generically: sports, cruiser, tourer, off-road, moped. Do take a look at wikipedia. That ...

Motorbiked: Visibility
http://motorbiked.blogspot.com/2008/01/visibility.html
Tuesday, September 16, 2008. Riding is a game of statistics, and the better you know them, the more you can play safe. But this post is not about numbers or statistics, it's about the other half of games: the part that you control. In particular, it's about the control that you take over your actions that leaves less things to luck or other people's decisions. One of the most important issues that you take control over, is visibility. You could count on drivers seeing you, but why leave it to chance?
