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.

Really, really bad combos
The World is a Circus
William Thomas - tillsonburgnews.com
The Tillsonburg News — I heard on the radio yesterday that a Baptist minister down in the States was standing in three feet of water and about to baptize a woman of his church when he reached out and grabbed the microphone from the master of ceremonies so he could be heard by those in the back of the crowd. A bad combination, electricity and water. The woman somehow survived.
But it got me thinking about concepts that clash, two items that need to be separated by a border with armed guards before they find each other.
A television news report last week revealed two very interesting aspects of this massive motorcycle craze that is sweeping North America. First, that the new models of motorcycles coming onto the market are by far faster and more powerful than anything we've ever seen. And second, the riders that are purchasing those motorcycles are getting very, very old. Bad combination, right there. You can now go from zero to 100 kilometres per hour in less than a minute but your cataracts have you seeing double.

There are as many different ways to tiedown motorcycles as there are models of bikes and people to own them. While we cannot guarantee that the following procedure will prevent damage, careful adherence to the principles will increase your bikes survival chances in an emergency
A proper tiedown system has four major components:
- A means of securing the front wheel from moving forward or turning sideways.
- The means to attach the strap to the bike in a secure location without damaging the bike.
- The strap itself and a means of tightening it.
- A means of attaching the strap to the trailer.

Motorcycle riding has special personal hazards and no helmet can protect the head against all foreseeable high speed and low speed impacts. The protective capability of a helmet is difficult to measure at the time of purchase because there are untold number of accidents. A helmet can provide protection only to the extent that your head is covered with the helmet. However, the use of a well fitted, securely fastened helmet can minimize the risk of death or permanent impairment from head injury. For maximum head protection, the helmet must be of proper fit and the retention system must be securely fastened under the chin. Failure to have a proper fit and to securely fasten the helmet is dangerous as the helmet could come off in an accident resulting in severe head injury or death.
Before purchasing a helmet, please read all the steps below carefully.
If any helmet, by any manufacturer, doesn't feel like it fits you properly, or doesn't meets your needs, Keep looking!
