The Motorcycle Helmet You Want May Not Be As Safe As You Think!

Choosing the right Motorcycle helmet can make a difference.

.literally between life and death. But how does an ordinary guy in the street make an informed decision about what kind of helmets give the best protection? There are so many makes, models and styles. Not to mention DOT approved, Snell approved, ECE approved! It is enough to make you go goggle eyed when confronted with so much information.

Tests have shown that it is perfectly possible to suffer a fatal injury falling off a stationary bike if you hit your unprotected head on the kerb, so clearly choosing the right helmet is important.

But which one?

Wouldn’t it be easier if someone just said, “Look, when you are in a crash, you need to protect this part of you head, because this is the part that is most likely to get hurt”

Well that’s what I thought. But it wasn’t that easy. The kind of information you need to make that kind of call requires someone, somewhere to look at a whole bunch of motorcycle crashes, look at the motorcycle helmet damage, assess where point of impact occurred and put the information into a form that allows ordinary motorcyclists (like you and me) to make a decision for themselves.

However, the good news is that if you look hard enough, the information is available. A study was carried out a few years ago by Deitmar Otte, at the Medizinsche Hochschule in Hannover, Germany on the damage incurred to helmets worn by motorcyclists involved in accidents. His analysis was extremely detailed; in fact it was far to detailed for me to go into here, but it was extremely important.

What I am going to do is tell you in a nutshell, what parts of your head are most likely to be hurt in a motorcycle accident, based on Herr Otte’s findings. The rest is up to you
Take a motorcycle helmet and look at it from the front. Now imagine it is divided into three sections; the top (the cranium area) the middle (the area most likely covered by the visor) and the bottom (on a full face helmet, this would be the chin guard area).

If you were involved in a motorcycle accident, and you hit your head you would have a 35% chance of the impact occurring to your chin area, 10% to your visor area, and 22% chance of the impact occurring to your front cranium area.Now turn the helmet around. Looking at it from the back, divide it in two down the middle. In an accident, if you hit you head, you have a 16% chance of impact occurring on the back of you head to the left side, and a 17% chance of impact occurring on the back right side.

Conclusion? Well, this is only my personal conclusion but I would say the following
The safest helmets are full face helmets

Second would be three quarter helmets with visors
Third would be half helmets

Last would be novelty helmets.There are lots of reasons people wear helmets. However, if safety is you main consideration, then take a good look at the full face helmets on the market, take some time and find one which you can wear comfortably on every ride.

Keeping Your Motorcycle Clean

Motorcycle Cleaning
To some a dreaded never ending task. Why? Because you have not found the products that will save time,

money and work well together to actually keep your bike cleaner, longer. These are professional products. Like the ones the Detailer’s use. Did you ever stop to wonder how they do it? The only thing they know that you don’t know,
is what products to use.

J&P Cycles® – Motorcycle Parts and Accessories

Of course most of them charge $40.00 an hour and up. For about the same hourly amount you can purchase the same products and do it yourself. You can obtain the same Professional, incomparable, lasting results. The Detailers HATE me, BUT the BIKERS LOVE ME. I am G-4rce.

I sell the finest MOTORCYCLE DETAIL PRODUCTS on the PLANET. (and for other fine toys too) You will be AMAZED as you make your bike look showroom new. With minimal effort and maximum results. You will reduce future clean-ups from hours to only minutes.

Believe me I have spent years trying and testing products and now you too can obtain the same lasting results. The difference between a cleaning and detailing are the products. General Motorcycle Cleanup requires only 3 products.

#1 Ouator metal polish, HexaSpray, and Hexawax. You will than need a couple of terry cloth towels. Some good tunes and a beverage is optional, and so is a bike lift.

Start by using Ouator to polish your chrome and aluminum. This product makes aluminum look far better than chrome. It is unique as you can shine anywhere you can get a finger in and a piece of towel. The more you rub>>The shinier it gets. In shining the more black you see -the better the product.

#2 Once your desired shine is obtained lightly spray with HexaSpray. This will remove any remaining residue (black). This is a Metal Sealer. By applying this you will lock and hold the shine 3 to 5 times longer than if not applied.

#3 Then Hexawax all painted surfaces and windshield or wherever you normally apply wax. You will be amazed at the ease of application, its removal, and finish result. Your bike will stay cleaner just by Hexa waxing. The unique thing is once cleaned future clean-ups are made as easy as dusting a tabletop. As you will no longer use soap and water but instead use the HexaSpray (metal sealer) which doubles as a Superior Water-less Wash. It will restore to the original wax look without scratching. Picture this scenario. You got caught in a driving rain storm.

You used to think you had hours of cleanup. But now you park your bike. Let it drip-dry, and HexaSpray it and gently wipe with the towel, like dusting a tabletop, and in less than 20 minutes you are restored to your original shine. So easy even mama can do it. In 8 years of business the only thing brought back to me was the original buyers friend’s and relatives to get them to stop using his purchase.

Do you have knee rub marks, embedded bugs, scratches or gas stains?? Try Oxy-off. Do you want to restore and protect your rubber and vinyl without that fake shinny look??  Try Clear Kote. AND NOW THE REAL SECRET to maintaining your shine is to NOT use soap and water. They strip your Hexa Spray Protection and speed up the Oxidation Process. Causing you to start the polishing process all over again.  So there you have a good starting point for keepin your bike clean.
