Taken From A Motorcycle History Book In The Year 2095

By L.J. James

Many of the "facts" in this story are based on Legend and Myth as much of the history of the Motorcycle and it's Culture was lost in the Great Rebellion of 2057.



Taken from a history book in the year 2095... Motorcycles And The Culture They Inspire 1868-2017

Motorcycles started out as steam engines strapped on to bicycles in 1868. Soon after the gas engine took its place and by the 1900's there were Motorcycle shops and Dealers all over the World. For awhile, Motorcycle's were simply used as transportation. In 1907, when Henry Fords, Ford Motor Company, released the Model-T at a price many could afford, the Motorcycle soon went from a necessity to a luxury item.

In the 1940's, the Motorcycle Culture really took off. An organization called the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) held races and events all over the United States of America. In 1947 the AMA held an event in Hollister California. This event was attended by many of the AMA Racing Teams and Motorcycle Clubs. This event marks the beginning of the separation of Motorcyclists which eventually led to the end of Motorcycling in the year 2017. Newspapers, being what they where in 1947, got a hold of some pictures of Motorcyclists having fun at the event. The press decided to embellish the facts and transformed the story into a torrid tale of Bikers taking over a small town! More negative news stories soon followed. Soon after Hollywood began releasing movies that portrayed Motorcyclists as lawless and evil.

The American Motorcyclist Association, trying to end the bad press, responded by basically saying that the Newspapers had lied and that it was only 1% of the Motorcyclists that caused problems. This resulted in the first ripple in the Unity of the Motorcycle World and the Medias' hatred of Bikers. Around the same time, the AMA began adding new requirements for motorcycles to be able to race in AMA sanctioned Races. Those whose motorcycles didn't meet the new AMA requirements started their own Race Leagues. Because the new Race Leagues/Clubs were not AMA sanctioned, they soon became known as Outlaw Race Leagues/Clubs. Although many Bikers raced in both the AMA and Outlaw Leagues, another great separation had begun.

By the late 1960's, the separation of the Motorcycle Community was becoming more evident. There were now three basic Motorcycle groups. The American Motorcycle Association, Outlaw/ 1%er Clubs(All 1%ers were Outlaws, but not all Outlaws were considered 1%ers) and Independent Riders. Over the years, the AMA continued to grow. In addition to racing, they began to champion Motorcycle Rights and Safety. As time went on, others formed independent groups whose goals were similar to that of the AMA. The inability or outright refusal of these groups to work together with each other, resulted in further separation of the Motorcycle Community and Culture.

In the 1970's, rifts began to grow between some of the Outlaw/1% Clubs. By the 1990's, the media had inflated these conflicts into stories that rivaled the tall tales of the old west. These tall tales where ment to invoked fear of the Outlaw/1% Clubs in the public. Everyone was lied to,. They were told to stay away from and fear all Outlaw/1% Clubs. The media began referring to Motorcycle Clubs as Motorcycle Gangs, a term meant to further instill fear into the heart of the Public. Stories and rumors began surfacing, claiming these "Gangs" were ruthless and would kill or maim people for little or no reason at all. By the early 21st Century, every minor conflict between Outlaw/1% Clubs was made into a book, made for TV movie, or docudrama. Titles like "Motorcycle Gang Wars In Your Back Yard" were common. Although real wars, conflicts, and suffering were occurring worldwide, the Corporate owned media chose to report fiction over fact.

In 2009, a conflict between two rival Clubs was captured on Video at a "Biker Build Off" event. The coverage by the media and negative publicity that followed was so overwhelming that in 2010, the United States Government passed a law banning all Outlaw/1% Clubs. In response, the Outlaw/1% Clubs put aside their differences and formed "Bikers United". The Bikers fought back stating the law was unconstitutional and un-American. Even as late as 2010, Many Americans still clung to the misguided belief that they had rights and lived in a free Nation. The Bikers fought hard and came very close to winning, but without the support of the Motorcycle Rights Groups,The many other Clubs, and the Independent Riders, all of whom had been brainwashed into believing the Outlaw Clubs were criminal organizations, they were defeated.

Many of the Outlaw/1% Clubs tried to stay together. The Clubs went underground, but after many raids and constant Government harassment, they all but disappeared. In 2013, in an effort to ensure that the Outlaw/1% Clubs never returned, the Government decided to outlaw all Motorcycle Clubs and organizations. The AMA, the many Clubs and Motorcycle Rights Organizations United in an effort to battle the Governments oppression. They tried to use many of the same tactics and strategies that the Outlaw/1% Clubs used. Unfortunately, the Government was much smarter and stronger this time around. They had learned many lessons in their fierce battles with the Outlaw/1% Clubs, and they used what they had learned against the united Clubs and Organizations. With no Outlaw/1% Clubs left to assist them and without the support of the Independent Riders, the United Clubs and Organizations were defeated.

In 2015, the Government passed a law that made it illegal to even look like an Outlaw on a Motorcycle. The Independent Riders banned together to try and fight the law, but by this time their numbers were few and there wasn't anyone left to show them how to fight for their rights. After a brief protest, they too were soundly defeated. In 2017, What was now a "Global Government", in its infinite wisdom, decided that Motorcycles posed a danger to the public. They passed a law banning the manufacturing of Motorcycle's and their use! They ordered that all existing Motorcyclesbe destroyed. This brought to an end, the History of Motorcycles. It would take until the year 2093 before anything even close to resembling a Motorcycle reappeared.

As a Historian looking back at the History of Motorcycles and the Culture it created, it amazes me how powerful the Motorcycle Culture could have been had they not let every little thing separate them. Instead of embracing something they all had in common and working together to protect it, they instead let their differences, the media, and the government divide them. By the time the Bikers realized how much they were connected and needed each other, it was too late. Their numbers were certainly sufficient to achieve victory, but their failure to come together as Brothers and Sisters and work for the common good ultimately caused their demise. Had they been victorious, it may have been enough to stop all of the oppression and tyranny that soon followed. History is full of stories just like this one, over and over again. The ones who love and honor Freedom the most are taken down first and the rest soon fall like dominoes. Until the Great Rebellion of 2057, we as a Global Society did not realize how important it was to put aside our differences. It may have taken awhile, but we finally figured it out...Just in time!

5. Always rent a car that is one grade lower then what you are looking for. For example, if you are wanting to rent a luxury car, instead of paying the extra money reserve a mid size vehicle. When you go to pick up your rental, you can then ask if they could upgrade you to a luxury. Many car rental companies will then offer you the upgrade for only a few dollars extra, as that will give them more money for a car that would not have even been rented.

Hotel Facilities Vary Depending Upon the Service Level

By Adriana Noton

Many people wonder why they get charged one rate at a Super 8. airport hotels and another at a Hilton when they are using nothing more than a bed. If that is the case, they may be staying at the wrong type of hotel facilities and could use a little guidance as to what to expect based on the top of property that they are staying. Lodging comes in three different tiers and each one of them is meant to service a specific market.

The lowest level of amenities will be received at extended stay properties. These are properties that are strictly meant for longer stays that will not cost as much money as any other type of hotel or motel. The reason the rates are so low is because they do not usually offer the types of amenities that people would generally expect from a hotel.

It is a rare extended stay property that will have a rate anywhere near $100/night. The longer the guest is staying, the more likely that the rate will be lower. For this generous rate, they get very little other than a bed and a parking spot. There will usually be laundry facilities of some type and maid service will be very limited.

One step up would be considered limited service properties. These are properties like the Garden Inn or Days Inn. Room rates are a little higher, but there is not much more in the way of the typical hotel amenities. Owners of these properties make some of the highest profits in the industry so you can expect them to be clean, but they will be run very tight.

Maid service in limited service properties will usually be a daily occurrence, unless they are at the bottom tier of the scale. They may even only offer it on request. While some of them offer meeting rooms and banquet space, it is very limited. There may or may not be a restaurant on property and will probably offer a continental breakfast for their guests.

The hotels with the best hotel facilities are known as full service hotels. For these amenities, the guest can expect to pay considerably more. A nice travel tip is to look for full service hotels that are surrounded by limited service hotels. They will have to drop their rates to stay competitive in their market.

Types of full service hotels would be properties such as Hilton and Marriott. They are typical of full service hotels in that they treat their VIP members like gold. Their highest levels can expect free breakfast, a welcome amenity, honor bar with free hours d' oeuvres and express check ins. These types of properties are generally required to have a full service restaurant, health spa, snack shop along with high end banquet facilities.

If a travel is doing nothing more than sleeping in their room, why waste the money at a full service hotel. A place like the Garden Inn will still offer a free continental and a high level of service. When the guest wants to be pampered, pay the few extra dollars and take advantage of the hotel facilities that are offered.

The club scene in Shanghai is centered in the French Concession district and is home to an array of LGBT options from darkly lit lounges to thumping dance clubs.

Beijing is another large city that is both a hub for business and a center for world-class shopping, dining and fashion. Although Beijing does not have the vibrant nightlife found in Shanghai or Hong Kong, a number of bars, clubs and restaurants are beginning to appear throughout the city, the most popular of which is a dance club called Destination. Destination has a mostly male clientele, but many women also frequent this LGBT hotspot.

How To Exceed Your Travel Insurance Policy

By Adriana Noton

As a travel insurance salesman one of your main concerns would be to at least achieve your travel insurance quota if not exceed it. To achieve success you need to take the help of tips from those who have been through the grind and who have learned a few things that can put quite a substantial sum of money in their pockets each and every month.

The key to success lies in understanding what the correct way of selling travel insurance policies is because without some tips to show you the ways forward you just will not succeed in doubling your income. For most travel insurance sales reps the question that is uppermost in their minds would be whether they too can earn substantial income from selling travel insurance to people.

The unquestionable truth is that if you are a person selling travel insurance policy you must be quite confused and even after spending years in the business this confusion may still be thwarting your efforts to be successful in getting people to buy travel insurance in big numbers.

To ensure a better chance of success you need to understand that the client is your passport to a great life and so you have to treat them with utmost respect. Unless you show how much you care for your customer you just cannot expect to become a successful travel insurance salesman.

This means that you must ensure that all the promises made your insurance company in their brochures and also in the billboard advertisements actually become reality for the customer. This is the only way that you can get a customer to purchase your travel insurance policies. In fact, meeting your travel insurance quota numbers should be likened to making hamburgers for those who like to eat at fast food joints; or, it is similar to manufacturing widgets.

You must sell your travel insurance in a manner that eases the pressure from your shoulders that your superiors will apply to get you to make more sales and that too immediately. This means doing more than leaving your business card with the customer or calling to confirm an appointment. You can get some results through these means but these methods are not in them enough to help you earn the big money.

You should therefore plan your selling strategy differently and in this it does help if you act in a manner that is sensible and which improves your chances of affecting a sale. Sometimes, it helps to make use of certain software that teaches people like you the right way to make an impressive sales pitch and which also helps you to present your case with suitable illustrations as to what benefits the client gets by purchasing your travel insurance policy. You must make your presentation simple concise and the focus must be to ensure that you do and say things that ensure that your customer gets your message in an easy to understand manner.

Learning these tricks is a surefire way to meet your travel insurance quota and also exceed it.

What To Do Before Going To A Facial Salon

By Archie Sato

Facial salons are everywhere. They sprout like mushrooms, dotting almost every corner making it a bit of a challenge to pick out the top one. While a friend's testimonial can assist you narrow down your options or even assist you step into the right facial salon, sometimes you are given with no choice but to try a particular salon (with fingers crossed), trusting you'll come out blissful and satisfied. After all, experience still is the greatest teacher.

What are the things tosearch when choosing a facial salon? Consider the following:

Cleanliness is close to godliness. You've certainly listened of this ancient proverb for perhaps a thousand times now, but this certainly isn't just another line on your proverbs collection. Hygiene is the first thing to look at when searching for a facial salon. Checkout the surrounding area if it's right for such kind of establishment. More importantly, make sure that this certain facial salon adheres to the sanitary ordinances set by the ministry of health. The cleanliness of the equipment used in a facial salon is as important as the treatment itself. By all means, assure that all facial instruments are properly cleaned before and after use. Furthermore, you have to be certain on how the therapists in a particular facial salon maintain cleanliness. Are they keeping an eye on strict sanitary measures? Do they change their gloves with each patient? Do they wash their hands before touching your face or any facial instrument? Do they wear clean scrub suits? Is the area itself clean?

Quality Products. Most facial salons are exclusive distributors of certain skin care products. Normally these products are tried and verified to be good in detoxifying and purifying your skin. Even so, some facial salons make their own products. Shy away from cheap and synthetically-formulated products as mostly they do not pass through quality control standards, hence, more likely to do damage to your skin.

Skin Consultation. A decent facial salon should offer this service prior to any treatment. This is the part where you discover and understand your skin condition. The therapist should be able to tell you your skin type and assess the needs of your skin. Recommendations for what type of products to apply are dependent from the outcome of the consultation.

Trained and professional staff. A good facial salon should invest in educating their therapists. No matter how great a certain treatment sounds like or how effective the products utilized, they're only as good as the hands that utilized them. Trained and professional therapists pay heed your concerns with credibility. A qualified workforce is a great asset of a facial salon to ensure the clients with the best outcomes by taking into consideration the primary needs of your skin.

The price is right. Let's accept it, we all desire superb result that doesn't compromise our budget. And so it goes that quantity doesn't always mean quality or vice-versa. When picking out a facial salon, ensure that their services are reasonably priced. If you could get a really good treatment for a very inexpensive price, then good! However, you must also take into account the kind and quality of products being utilized. Sometimes, it's also better to go for a more costly treatment that assures good results than go for a cheap treatment only to be frustrated with the result.

Customer Feedback. Find out about a facial salon you have in mind by asking other customer who have been there. You can get different feedback from them, for sure, and that should help you make up your mind whether it's worth your dough or not. Consider all the pros and cons.

A Perfect Movie Experience with Jurassic Park Toys

By Andy Jenkins

Who knew that a wide range of Jurassic park toys would rise to fame when a novel was transformed into a movie? The movie showcased the consequences of biological tampering where extinct dinosaur species were regenerated and brought back to existence. The plot begins with tied up sequences of weird animal attacks in Costa Rica and Isla Nublar which nobody can give meaning to.

The first specie to be presented is that of a three toed lizard to which the attacks were attributed to early in the film. A number of different Jurassic park toys have been designed to replicate these different dinosaur species. A paleontology tandem consisting of a veteran doctor and his intern were invited by the millionaire owner of InGen to an island he created to be the enclosure facility for these massive creatures.

International Genetic Technologies or InGen for short is the main science facility responsible for the genetic experimentation and revival of different dinosaur species. This InGen patriarch created an enclosure esplanade where biological preservation is the main job done but little did the visitors know that they were to expect unbelievable creatures in the enclosure. From the concept of being extinct, the enclosure has developed a way of bringing these monsters back into the modern world; Jurassic park toys aim to deliver similar results in a way that people can be exposed to replicas of these creatures but of course safer versions of the sort.

Upon the group's arrival on the island, they came across different species of cloned dinosaurs that were sourced through damaged DNA from mosquitoes who sucked up dinosaur blood and got preserved in amber. As the damage has created gaps in the overall genetic code of the mosquito DNA, the facility was working by filling in these gaps with avian, amphibian, and reptilian DNA to complete the code. Population control was regulated by breeding only female dinosaurs and the same concept was applied to the Jurassic park toys where each dinosaur figure will resemble that of only female counterparts per species.

You can see in the Jurassic park toys that in the midst of the female dinosaur models, males have too been added to the mix. This is because a part in the film showcased how the dinosaurs began breeding against what the geneticists originally designed meaning that they were going against what was meant by the facility to happen. The facility has long been working under the requirements that were needed to run a tight ship of operations and so the island needed to be shut down for the safety of everyone.

You will see some Jurassic park toys which may include dinosaur eggs or embryo replicas because when the island was shut down in the movie, a batch of these eggs which were not tampered with were shown as the assets of the facility. In the movie also, an employee stole some of the eggs for personal gain and was intercepted by a dinosaur nonetheless. The process of shutting down the facility did not do well by means of maintaining security measures.

With a storm occurring, shut down caused even the security locks and fences to stop working freeing the once enclosed dinosaurs to roam free. The main character as seen in the film is a gargantuan Tyrannosaurus Rex and the Jurassic park toys created a line just for this massive creature. He was able to cause much destruction, injuring a number of the facility's staff and leaving most dead.

The initial movie ended with people regaining control over the dinosaurs and the island was shut down for good; but of course, new storylines with more exciting scenarios filled up the following films for the franchise. Jurassic park toys increased in numbers with every new character included in each film that followed the first movie. It is easy to find a Jurassic park item for you and your loved ones and it can be assured that each purchase will be well worth it.

Thailand: My First Night in Pattaya

By Owen Jones

It was seven-ish and I was sitting in a pleasant-enough room overlooking the front doorway to the pub above which I had just moved in. The pub was the Pig and Whistle on Soi 7 in Pattaya. Across the way was a large hole, which they were hoping to construct a hotel in and next door to that, just opposite me, was a small bar with one woman sitting on a stool outside it. Not that there was a wall there, it was open on two sides. The Soi was lovely and quiet, I thought. I also thought that I might go and sit in that little bar and talk to that lady, if my friend was late, because I would definitely see him arrive from two metres away, the width of the Soi.

So, I went to the bar in the pub at 19:15 to await my friend who said he would meet me at 20:00. It was much busier than thirty minutes earlier but not noisy and I sat at the bar. The first thing a barmaid did was say hello, give me a menu and step back. I did not really want to eat, I only wanted a beer as I presumed we would be dining together later, but I wanted to read the menu anyway.

'A pint of Boddington's', I said. It arrived and the girl began laying a setting for me. I tried to explain that I was not hungry, but it was no good. Like in Spain, most people eat and drink at the same time. All the while the girl was smiling at me. Then she said: 'You live upstairs? My name Charli. What you want to eat?'. So, I gave in and ordered something and rice.

'You first time in Thailand? You no can eat. Too spicy', she said with a grin. 'Oh', I replied, 'but I want to try. 'I put only 50-50 for you', she declared and was gone.

I battled my way through that meal and it took a Boddingtons and a bottle of water. Charli had been right, it was too hot for first-time foreign visitors and she had reduced the chilis by 50%. I have always heeded a Thai's counsel on food ever since.

I changed seat to by the window to see what was going on as it was dark by 19:30 and I was curious. Within thirty minutes Soi 7 had transformed itself completely. I could see hundreds of ladies and tourists walking about. I wanted to go out and join in or at least sit in the quiet bar across the lane, but I'm ashamed to say that I was too frightened, so I sat put, rivetted to the Pig like a rabbit in a hunter's flashlight.

My friend walked in on time and after we had been talking for an hour, he said: 'Drink up, I have someone I want you to meet'. This was it, we were going into that mele. A waitress opened the door for us and the racket and the heat were terrific. Particularly the din. Every metre at least two or three girls would shout: 'Hello, sexy man, you want a drink'. Trying to say no courteously to each invitation was impossible, so I just stuck close by to my pal.

Fortunately, we only had about fifty metres to walk and we sat down in another bar. My friend said hello to several women and then said, this a girl I have been going out with for some time. I was flabbergasted as I had never heard him talk about her, ever. She was gorgeous, but could not speak English, so I sat in the tumult in silence. Not for long through, as my friend said, I have a blind date for you and he introduced another girl to me who was equally beautiful, but with whom I could speak a little. She was captivating and I was captivated. The din seemed to pass away, but it was only because I was concentrating on my new friend. The four of us had the best time and the best food I had ever had in my forty-nine years of existence.

By Jason Hall

While traveling to the Tropical North Queensland region in Australia it may be difficult to find your way around, especially when you are unfamiliar with the area.
