ISLAMABAD, December 10 (Online): Your hearing may be at risk if you were born to be wild.
In an informal survey of 33 motorcycles, University of Florida audiologists found that nearly half of them produced sounds above 100 decibels when throttled up -- equivalent in intensity to a loud rock concert or a chainsaw.
The survey is part of an ongoing effort to identify recreational activities that may pose a risk to hearing, including noise levels experienced by motorcyclists, the researchers said.
The audiologists noted that the sample was small and not representative of all makes and models and those motorcycles with exhaust systems modified to make them louder. So formal research is needed to measure noise levels under typical riding conditions and to determine whether these early survey findings can be generalized to a larger number of bikes, they added.

Motorcycle Helmet with Rear View Display
November 21, 2005 - By Alice Hill - RealTechNews - Source: Gizmag - realtechnews.com
Seeing behind you on a motorcycle has always been a problem. Sometimes the mirrors vibrate, and sometimes they offer a terrific view of your elbows, and most of the time they offer a distinctly inferior view of the rear compared to that you get in a car because you can’t see the parts directly behind you.
As a soldier in combat will tell you, when your situational awareness is down in a hostile environment, the risk of injury multiplies enormously. And hence when a helmet with an integrated rear view mirror system was launched last week in Munich we think it’s worth a look. Manufacturers Reevu spent ten years developing the helmet, which has a built-in 180 degree unbreakable rear-view mirror system in the hope it will save lives on the roads by improving situational awareness and hence preventing accidents.

Daredevils on bikes: Not all are teens
Source ::: The Peninsula - thepeninsulaqatar.com
Motorcycle enthusiasts displaying their skills on a road.
DOHA - Not all those who are seen riding sports motor cycles and showing daredevilry on the busy Doha roads are teenagers.
Many of them are senior officials, married men with children and come from respected families.
Some are highly educated professionals like engineers and even pilots and all they want is that the state authorities must provide them recognition by way of helping set up an amateur professional body for sports motorcyclists.
They want the media to highlight their hobby in a perspective they deserve and the public not to look down upon them as a group of daredevils out on the roads creating nuisance.
