An Introduction to Off-Road Riding, Dual Sport Motorcycle Riding

Or Adventure Riding Starts When The Blacktop Stops...Four powerful requirements for riding off-road:

* What skills are required to have an enjoyable and safe ride?
* What features are required on the motorcycle?
* What you need to protect on the bike and yourself?
* How to ride to suit the condition of the road or track?

By off-road I mean a public, dirt / gravel / sand / dust road, path or track. Motocross (MX) riding isn't addressed with any detail in this article but there the comparison has some relevance.

To safely undertake these types of roads there are four areas to consider i.e. The motorcycle itself, your skill level, your protective apparel and the condition of the road or track.

Concentrating on the dual sport motorcycle for a bit, one commonly demands a dual sport motorcycle that provides torque at low revolutions per minute* (between 3000 and 6000 rpm), and a gearbox that offers a lower first gear and a maximum speed of less than 180kph. As well higher, harder suspension, sensible off-road tyres, broad upright handlebars.

Generally these types of dual sport motorcycles are called enduro or trail with Motocross (MX) bikes being the most extreme cases.

Normally tyres are run a little softer than on the road. A good general pressure level is 1.1 bar (15psi) for the front with the back being slightly harder (increase tyre pressure above 2 bar when going over really rough terrain in order to protect your rims and avoid punctures).

If you plan to ride more ambitious tracks your dual sport motorcycle should have wheel rims with spokes and heavy duty tubes which are able to withstand objects like sticks and rocks.

Inner tubes ought to be replaced every 20,000km even when they've never had a puncture. This is because the area around the valve deteriorates and ultimately tears inducing a puncture that can become irreparable. Water that seeps in past the spokes too causes harm to both the rims, spokes and tube. Ideally your rims should dry before you park your dual sport motorcycle.

The susceptible parts of your motorcycle ought to be protected by engine guards, crash bars, bash plates etc. front and back. This particularly goes for to the larger, dual sport boxer BMW GS series motorcycles where the tappet covers protrude from the side and are particularly susceptible to damage. Particular gear e.g. headlamps, brakes, indicators, radiator, hydraulic brake cylinder etc. should as well be protected.

Whenever you're travelling off-road your baggage must be carried low down to maintain a low centre of gravity. Carrying gear on the pillion seat can cause your dual sport motorcycle to become unstable.

You will not even notice the problem as you depart town on the bitumen. Afterwards as you arrive at the rough stuff, it will be too late!

Protective Riding Gear - All The Gear All The Time (ATGATT) is essential to safe dual sport motorcycle riding!

Accidental injury can be prevented by wearing appropriate protective gear. Helmet, eye and hand protection are evident but do not ignore the following.

* Riding boots that offer solid ankle joint support (sport shoes, sneakers, tennis shoes are definitely not suitable).
* Long trousers that are rip resistant (blue jeans, dungarees are not appropriate!).
* Knee joint protection. This can be built into the construction of the trousers or worn separately and externally over the knee joint.
* Thigh protection. Usually built into the long trousers.
* Jacket that offers elbow and shoulder protection.

Riding off-road in very hot areas and at low speeds can be very arduous exercise. This ought to be borne in mind when buying a jacket. For the same reasons one would wear a 3/4 helmet with goggles when riding off-road at speeds of lower than 100kph.

Now the only thing missing is a way gaining the appropriate skills and practice required to make your Adventure riding a pleasurable event.

Network Marketing is the best choice for future career.

*** What Is Network Marketing ?
Network Marketing originally know as Multilevel Marketing, a process in which individuals help other individuals to achieve their separate GOALS. A Network is an organized collection of your personal contacts and their contacts.

It provides a way of getting from point A to point B in the shortest possible time over the least possible distance. But unfortunately Network Marketing is probably one of the most misunderstood concepts in the world today.

In Network Marketing, companies move products through a group of independent distributors who buy and sponsor other people to do the same. They are paid commission based on the sales they generate by their own and group sales. For your efforts, you can earn overrides on multi levels income of people in your organization.
*** What You Need To Do ?
This is a real business like other where you and your actions will bring results. You need to identify and collect customers for the products and services. Once a company recruits you, they will provide you with the essential resources and support that will be required to grow your business. You in turn, will need to recruit other people, while these people also recruit others, and a cycle begins. You will also have to assist others, who become your partners, in carrying out the business.

This business will require you to invest about 10 to 20 hours of time and hard work every week, if you want to create a successful business. It is important to remember that this business is not a get-rich-quick scheme. You need to use every opportunity to go out and tell people about the product and services of a company, because word of mouth is the best form of advertising in Network Marketing. This form of Marketing is different from traditional sales jobs. As a Network Marketer, you need to recommend products to your family, friends and other people that you are personally in touch with.

**** How to get Start?
You need to have a very clear idea about this career before you step in. It is a good idea to carry out research of sponsors to ensure that they are right for you. It is also important to choose a company whose products or services are ones you relate to and like to, as this will help you in selling them to others. Check the kind of training program your company offers because training is very important in Network Marketing.

*** Why Network Marketing ?
The Self-employment Revolution :
• To gain freedom to spend more time with their family.
• To have life on their own TERMS and CONDITION.
• Be your OWN BOSS, work your OWN HOUR.
• You can build a business in your TIME.
• Allows you to EARN while you LEARN.
• No BIG investment need, your investment is your time, your passion and hard work.

*** Beware From Mistake:
People make mistake very often for pyramid schemes, which are illegal and move no products into the marketplace, pyramid schemes where people make money by recruiting other people to join in the game or you can say selling concept. Company with no product is doing just money making game which is illegal and unethical. Remember Network Marketing will only pay on the distribution product and service

Consolation:
The greatest challenge is believes in the positive future of Network Marketing and enough to create the desire and commitment to go into MASSIVE ACTION MODE. Network Marketing IS NOT for Man only, actually the majority of active successful people in this industry is WOMAN at Europe and America. Unfortunately Network Marketing is a Misunderstood by most of the general people, those who have BAD experience one or another.

Dating Tips For Men and Women

Dating Tips For Men:
You are a guy who is always in a serious relationship. You are a guy who hasn't dated in years. Or maybe you're a guy who has never been successful with women. Whatever your situation, there are some common dating rules to follow when venturing into the dating jungle. These conventions even the playing field, preparing you for
success while protected your emotions. Women are trained from day one in the art of dating warfare. They have a physical and emotional arsenal that you may never hope to match. But you won't be outgunned if you properly prepare for the battle.

1. Look your best. Get some decent clothes and shoes. Women always look at your shoes, even if you last checked your Nikes in 1996. Get clothes that fit you, suit you and are contemporary. Don't just buy one outfit, sort out your entire wardrobe. Buy a nice tailored suit, there is no excuse not to. If you can't take care of yourself, how are you going to take care of her?

2. Sort out your hygiene and styling. Go down to the barbers and clean up your hair, getting it styled if possible. If you don't have much hair, still get down to the salon, maybe get your head shaved. Or just get a regular shave, a professional shave will leave your face looking and feeling great. Then it is off to the shops with you for good quality cologne and a grooming kit. Men are so often criticized for smelling bad. Get into a regular showering routine so you will always smell fresh and clean. Women appreciate it.

3. Sort out your job if you have one. Women want a man who has some ambition in life. Coasting along as a skateboard instructor is generally not going to win you a real catch (though I'd give it a go, I love skateboarding). Any job is better than none, but knuckle down and sort out some direction in your life. If possible try and look like you have something of a career. If you have a manual job, at least have some plans to work for yourself, and if you already do, then you are on the right track. But know what you are about work wise and have some idea of your future plans because women will ask questions about your prospects. Even if they pretend it isn't important, it is.

4. Be in the know. Make sure you are up to date with current affairs, watch the news and read quality papers. Women do not appreciate stupidity, and laziness is no excuse for sounding dumb. Current affairs are important in showing you know all about the world we live in. If you travel a lot then this will help tremendously. If you don't, make plans to travel and tell her about it. Proving you are willing and able to plan vacations is essential in the grand scheme of things.

5. Do not extol the virtues of drinking in the bar 5 nights a week. This will never win any fair princess's heart. If you spend all your time boozing with the boys, it's time to take a step back and pick up some more productive habits. Taking your lady for a drink is fine, especially if you take her to get cocktails at a nice lounge, but give them the impression that you live there will get you absolutely nowhere fast.

6. Keep your super fan status in check. If you love your sports and enjoying watch the game with your buddies, fine. If sport is a religion and you have your favorite player's number tattooed on your back, you may have a problem. If you are serious about dating, rattling off baseball stats, ranting about unfair umpires and constantly check the score will put them off in record time. To the uninitiated, sports are completely boring, and many women interpret the obsession as a total lack of thought, creativity or inspiration. Millions of girls love sports too, and rooting for the same team is great, but don't make your passion into a one-sided one.

9. Never expect sex on a first date. If all you are after is sex, you have come to the wrong place for reading material. If you are looking for the girl of your dreams, there is nothing sexier than a patient man. You are easily capable of waiting for the right woman.

10. Read up on manners, courtesy and chivalry. A woman likes being treated with respect. Lose the coarse language, the swear words, the rudeness and the laziness. Know how to eat in a top restaurant. Know about fashion, jewelry and flowers. Know how to hold a door open for a woman, let her go first and help her with her seat. Listen to what she says but have opinions of your own too. Show her respect and manners at every step and you'll be on the right path.

11. Start listening and stop talking. Keep your date interested but don't turn into a one-man circus. She will bore of you quickly because she wants to talk about herself too. Listen to things she tells you about her and remember them. Women love to chat so you need to learn to listen to her. Remembering things she told you will impress her even more.

12. Give up smoking. Now.

13. Learn to dance even if you have two left feet. Women love to dance and it puts you two in close contact. It is also romantic and sexy. You can be the world's worst dancer, I don't care. But if you stay seated when she is on that dance floor you may as well not exist. Try joining salsa and ballroom classes. You don't need to be Travolta but you should have an idea of the basics of rhythm. Get started today.

Dating Tips For Women:

Guys: If you don't like this, look away now.

In another dating article on this site, you will find a general set of rules than men should follow when dating. In the same way, women have some general rules that they should contend with when entering the dating jungle. Now I know everyone is different, so don't
take things too seriously here. There has been some controversy over some literature published in the USA that lays out in detail the rules a woman should follow to get her guy (or gal). Ellen Fein and Sherrie Schneider's 1995 bestseller "The Rules," explains how women should play hard if they want to get their guy. I can understand why some groups would be hostile about this, but the fact is that when we grow up, there are a predefined set of dating rules. What happens is that we forget most of them after the age of 21, and then realize we need to relearn them.

I wish there weren't any general rules, but courtship is a ritual. There are things that we make happen that excite, stimulate, create interest and confound. Dating is a long test of compatibility. Are we perfectly matched? If we just threw ourselves together, then the chances of long term happiness might be compromised. And yet previous generations managed to succeed on a far less complex courtship criteria list. Many arranged marriages work all too interestingly.

In every society there are a predefined set of social rules we follow, from the way and timing of eating to the way we behave in public. The issue here is that when women date, there are some things that can help them be more successful. If we accept that dating is a game, then there are rules to that game. There are winners and losers. If you know the rules in advance, it gives you a head start. If men know the rules by which you are playing, you may change the rules to suit the situation to keep the man guessing. Men love a challenge, so feel free to adapt rules and add them as you feel inclined.

You can separate rules out into two parts, dating and online dating. Both areas have distinct rules that a woman should follow for dating success.

General Dating Rules

* Always look great, whatever your income. Gorgeous hair and some lipstick with rags will still turn his head. You have the advantage. You are the woman. Look your best as you could meet a potential Mr. Right anywhere at any time.
* Never reveal information you don't have to. An enigmatic woman drives men wild.
* Keep dates brief, but your men interested. Less is always more.
* Try and stay in shape and involve some fitness regime at a gym. However much you hate it, your Mr. Right loves your body as much as your mind.
* Let your man pay. If he is interested, he is interested enough to ensure you eat well and get home safely in a cab.
* Ensure you receive flowers. If he doesn't know what a florist is, dump him.
* Never ever sleep with a guy until he has fallen for you. Sex early in your dating game plan will ruin everything.
* Always keep a guy waiting and never turn up early. It is a lady's perogative.
* Never be available when he wants you to be. Never be at the end of a phone when he calls and always let him leave a message or two first before replying.
* If he is available Tuesday, you are available Thursday.
* Weekend shopping trips with girlfriends are sacred and not available for dates.
* Keep your man standing on quicksand by shifting landmarks and goalposts constantly.
* Ensure you are a good kisser. Men will walk away if you cannot kiss. Practice on a mirror if you have to.
* Never ever talk about previous boyfriends, particularly their prowess in the bedroom. Your ex-boyfriends are your business only.
* Never assume anything about your date until you choose to know him better. You cannot always tell by looking.
* If any man shows the slightest signs of possessiveness or insecurity, run like the wind. Life is too short for boys.
* If his shoes or hygiene are a disgrace, dump him.
* Never talk too much about your father and how your date measures up in comparison.
* Never ever come across as too available or too desperate. He will run a mile. He is the one doing the chasing.
* If the guy in the corner is gorgeous, go get him and create the need in him for you. Never wait for men to come to you because you may watch him leave with someone else.
* You may well have all the bodily functions of a man, just try not to demonstrate them early on.
* If you want a child, don't mention it on the first few dates.
* Never ever criticize his mother unless you want to remain single.

Online Dating Rules

* Always let them come to you, don't chase them via email.
* Block anyone who annoys you instantly.
* Post the best and most vampish photo you can find.
* Don't reply to instant messages with clever opening lines.
* Remain aloof and let yourself be chased.
* Always reply to emails at least 3 days after receipt.
* Never provide your real email or phone details.
* Always date safely and protect yourself at every turn.
* Make sure your login name is stunning and sexy, as well as enigmatic.
* Do not login for hours on end. Short, rapid visits are best.
* Do not assume the person you are talking to is destitute or sad.
* Never ever reply to emails on weekends. Wait until a weekday.
* Never state how good your sexual performance is in your profile.
* If you don't want to date married men, spell it out in your profile.
* A man who doesn't reply to your email within 3 days should be ignored.
* Make sure your humor levels come across in text.
* Do not chat to hundreds of men at once. The delay in replying is a dead giveaway and your Mr. Right will be off.
* Don't even think about misrepresenting your size or description. They will find out.
* Come across as cool and sophisticated for best results

Ladies, always remember that you are a sexy, desirable woman and the world is your oyster. Always let men do the chasing and always allow yourself to be the chooser. Always stay safe and never risk yourself for the sake of attending a date. Always use a safe dating Website.

Top 10 Dating Tips:
1. Get prepared for dating. If you really want to succeed in the dating game, be ready to commit to dating. Half-heartedness won't work. In fact, it won’t even get you half-way. If you really want to date, put some effort into it. Do some research and think about what you want out of dating. Prepare yourself for the inevitable rejection we all face at some point in dating and commit not to give up.
2. Get your act together. Begin a regime of looking your best. Join a gym, read health magazines, get fit and start a diet. Get your hair cut or styled and begin a new regime of good grooming or beauty treatment. Though it will not find you a date in itself, you will feel a million times more confident about yourself, and others can sense that.
3. Go shopping and treat yourself to new clothes and even a whole new look. Get your image right, one that you can manage and live with, but one that flatters you. Don't try to be someone you’re not, but amplify and accentuate your positives. Throw out those tired jeans, old sweaters or cardigans and spruce yourself up. Your date will appreciate that you demonstrated some effort.
4. Think about what you want to gain from dating and what timeframes you expect. Do you see yourself married within 2 years? If you do, then approach dating accordingly. If you are more laid back and don't take dating too seriously then ask yourself some honest questions about why you are dating and what you hope to achieve. If it is purely sex then ask yourself if you are about to be honest with those you hope to date.
5. Surround yourself with people who will support your dating aims. By following the first four tips you will feel better and be more focused. Don’t sabotage this by sitting around with friends who are negative about love and relationships (often the married ones). Start attending social functions frequented by singles. Sitting alongside couples at dinner parties in suburbia is not necessarily where you need to be right now.
6. Choose those you have a good chance of dating. Be realistic. In other words, your dating is based on the whole package you present as well as just your personality. If you are looking for a glamour girl or boy and want to date someone trendy and gorgeous, great! Just know that others will expect you to be the same.
7. Join clubs, societies, sports events, drama groups -- anything that might help you meet like-minded potential partners. You will not meet people by staying indoors and playing video games – many have tried and failed at this approach.
8. Take time off from dating occasionally if it’s not going well or causing dating fatigue. Recharging your batteries and keeping confidence and optimism levels high is an absolute must. We all hit rough patches, but don’t let your search for love become a death march. Date in phases if necessary.
9. Enjoy dating for what it is, dating. It is meeting people and socializing and spending time in the company of stimulating individuals who may or may not play a bigger part in your life down the road. The fact is, most people have something interesting to offer. While you may not be out on the dating scene looking for new friends, you may well find one or two fabulous people along the way.
10. Never make yourself too available. People like mystery and enigma and the thrill of the chase when dating. As part of keeping up the mystery, do not sleep with your dates early on. The longer a person is made to chase and fall for you within reason, the more likely that love may blossom. And yes, this goes for both men AND women! If the chemistry peaks too early, your emotions may never have time to catch up and the relationship will eventually wither away.
