Tips on many different
aspects of Off Highway Vehicle Safety,
Maintenance and just good ole common sense!
A Word From Nick:
My goal with posting articles is
to help, educate, and save someone some money and hard work. Also to
help make everyones rides
safer and more fun. I am not an expert in any way, shape, or form. I
intend to share things from personal experience (good and bad),
items I read, ideas others have shared and I welcome any help and
information on any topic. I have been using and working on
motorcycles,
(off road and street bikes), atvs and side by sides for 50 years. I
do all of my own maintainance and repair. I have rebuilt 9 atv for
my
children and grandkids and we have three side by sides. Not
bragging, just giving you an idea of where I get most of my info and
knowledge from. (most of it the hard and expensive way. LOL)
At each of our monthly meetings I spend about 5 to 10 minutes to
discuss the issues I will publish here. My ideas and comments will
not
meet every persons wants or needs but they will be factual or stated
otherwise as an opinion. Just ask my wife if I ever have an opinion.
Every once in a while she allows me to state my opinion as long as
hers overrides it. LOL. If there is an area that you would like to
share or discuss please let me know. My desire to ride with good
riders is to be sure they have the proper training and knowledge but
along with that comes machines that are safe and well maintianed.
Tip #1:
Several
years ago I was teaching my wife how to ride her first motorcycle. I
had been riding for a
few years and I knew everything. I had heard of the MFS courses and
decided that she should
take this course so that I would have someone else to blame if she
got into trouble. (so call me
a coward). She would not take the course unless I took it with her.
Needless to say I was shocked
at what I did not know and at what they could teach me. We both went
on to take the MSF
instructor course. I am just saying that no matter who we are, we
can always learn more and
become better. AND BEING BETTER MEANS MORE FUN!!!!!
