My Dirt Bike's Been Stolen And I Forget To Get Bike Insurance

Off-road bike riding is fun, relatively inexpensive, and a great way to spend a weekend. But what about the often forgotten costs of theft and the abundant lack of dirt bikes with insurance?

But with the increase in off-road bike sales also comes the inevitable increase in dirt bike thefts, and with many people not realising the importance of bike insurance quite a widespread problem is occurring in that people aren't covered for these thefts.

Royal Enfield Motorcycles, From To India And Back

Spanning
three centuries and three continents, The Royal Enfield motorcycle is still
alive and well. From Britain
to India
and back again. 

Through necessity, and in common with most other engineering
companies of the day, Enfield
didn't restrict themselves to one line. They also made lawnmowers, bicycles and

infinitely better than a lawn mower. Their motto of 'Made like a gun, Goes like
a bullet' is also evidence of their military involvement. In 1907, the company
joined forces with a business with the unlikely name of 'Alldays & Onions',
to produce the Enfield-Allday automobile. Fortunately, the onion was dropped.
These cars remained in production until 1925.

The Throttle Body Spacer Debate


On many automotive forums, questions abound about throttle body spacers and their potential to deliver serious performance gains. For an easy installation and relatively inexpensive part, it may seem like a no-brainer. However, many remain skeptical of the hype and denounce them as expensive paper weights.

The throttle body regulates the amount of air that flows into the engine based on input from the accelerator. Throttle bodies are most often located between the air filter and intake manifold. The throttle body is also often attached or near the mass airflow sensor.
