For Men 4 Things To Remember When Learning To Ride A Motorcycle 2:24 AM Learning to ride a motorcycle? Remember these things.For some, learning to drive a car just doesn’t meet their expectations. They want something more thrilling and exciting. Something swifter. Something that makes them feel confident on the roads. It’s for these reasons that more people now are choosing to learn how to ride a motorcycle. Riding a motorcycle is a way of life, not just something that helps you get from A to B. That means there’s a lot to consider before you hit the open road. Having enough training and passing your test is one thing. But if you want to stay safe on the road and ultimately enjoy your motorcycle experience, then you need to take your knowledge a step further – speak to this motorcycle accident lawyer (based in Forest City) if you’ve been involved in a crash on your motorcycle. Let’s explore what all new riders and those learning to ride safely should know about handling a motorcycle. 1. Buy yourself quality safety clothing (and wear it)It's an obvious one. But the number of riders who don't bother to put on a helmet or wear their riding gear because they're not traveling far may astonish you. Experienced and conscientious riders only ever wear the best, high-quality gear. Even if you think you can save a few bucks on your leathers by buying something cheap, you may regret it. The same applies to your helmet. Don’t be afraid to splash out if it means you get a good quality helmet that not only looks good but offers high levels of protection. It could essentially save your life. 2. No passengers – not yet!When you pass your driving test, driving for the first time with your friends in the back, listening to your favorite songs and relishing in your new-found freedom (thanks to your license) may sound like a gratifying idea.However...When you pass your motorcycle test is a different story. The general rule is that you shouldn’t consider having passengers on the back of your bike until you’re more experienced. You’re not used to the extra weight on the bike and turning corners may prove inherently dangerous for you both! 3. Be wary of high traffic areas Despite your pass, riders should still continue to build their confidence before they ride on interstates, highways and other high traffic roads. Building on your skillset and working your way up towards high traffic areas is better than simply throwing yourself in at the deep end and putting yourself and other road users at risk. And finally...4. Get into good habits Leathers? Check. Gloves? Check. Helmet? Check. These are the most obvious checks that any rider should conduct before they hit the road.However, riders should also get into the habit of checking their motorcycle before they set off. Checking the tires for damageChecking the engine oil levelsChecking for leaks, and Making sure all your lights and signals are in good working order. The better condition your bike is in, the better it’ll perform for you and the safer you’ll be. Keep these things in mind before you get on that motorcycle and hit the road. Enjoy! 🚴

Dating Why Dating Can Be More Successful As You Get Older 12:11 AM Dating advice from a guest blogger:As we age, it’s natural that our views on dating change. As a young man, I was giving off plenty of male pheromones while I was in search of a partner. I focused a lot on the attraction aspect of dating and did my best in that area. Looking back on it now I admit I had an immature view about dating. I was looking for things that were superficial. I never thought those things could or would diminish with age. With every year that passes, we learn. And the more we learn, the more successful we could get in dating...and in life. I’m going to explore the ways I’ve found dating to be more successful as I’ve gotten older. And if you’re at the later stage of your life and dating or dating older women, I’m sure you can relate. Why Dating Can be More Successful as You Get Older 1. You’re more sure of yourself When you’re younger, you can more likely change for your partner. And in doing so, you'll lose yourself.When I was in my early 20's, I met someone and fell head over heels. I adapted to her taste in music, television, and whatnot. I wasn’t pretending because I genuinely appreciated the things she loved. But the problem was that...I ended up focusing on her interests and ignoring my own. In the end, I didn’t like the person I had become. I wasn't myself anymore. As an adult, I’ve got time to focus on my own interests and become more self-assured. I now understand the importance of staying true to myself. And that it's a good place to find a partner.2. You may be financially stable There’s something to be said about having a supportive partner who supports you through anything. But it can also be rewarding to find a partner when you’ve already passed the pains in your career. You may now be working fewer nights and have some money set aside. This is the ideal time to focus on a new relationship. Couples are likely to argue over finances, and may even break up over money. So when you date later in life and are more stable, this issue could be off the table.3. You’ve made your mistakes Sometimes you reach a certain age, you look back on your relationship choices...and cringe. Or even regret it.None of us are perfect, and it’s important to see where we’ve made mistakes. Because if we can’t see it, we’re doomed to repeat the ghosts of bad relationships past. When you're more mature, you’ve probably sorted out the skeletons in your closet and are ready to give and accept love in a healthy way. You know what you want, but more importantly, you know who you are. 4. Your goals are different Dating when you’re younger is often focused on one goal: to get married and have kids. But if you’ve already been there and done that, you can take things slow. There’s no rush to find out if the person you’re dating is the one. You don't worry about the body clock anymore.Getting past that child-rearing age can take a ton of pressure off your love life.When you find yourself dating later in life, you may be in a better place to find true love. There are no deadlines and you can be in a place to make her feel secure ---financially and emotionally. Most people don’t set out to date in their 30's, 40's and beyond. But if you look at it the right way, it may be considered a blessing.

How do you conquer it?Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frighten us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? …And as we let our light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.-Marianne WilliamsonThis post may contain affiliate links.

Listicle 5 Reasons Why Young Drivers Lose Their Licence 7:34 AM 5 Reasons Why Young Drivers Lose Their Licence If you are a young driver who has recently passed your test and obtained your licence, it’s only natural that you will be itching to hit the open road. While many young drivers follow the speed limit and the rules of the road, others violate traffic rules without considering the long-term consequences. Don't be like them. Be smart. Before you next sit behind the steering wheel, talk to a specialist car insurance broker. Imagine the feeling of freedom and confidence knowing you are insured no matter your age. Oh, the places you will see and the fun you'll have on the road!No one wants to lose their license, especially a young driver, so here are five common ways that your license can be revoked and what you can do to minimize the risk.1. Careless DrivingDriving without due care and attention will not only put other motorists and pedestrians at risk, but it could be the reason for you losing your licence. Careless driving includes running a red light, sudden braking, and overtaking on the inside. Many young drivers are known for using their phones while behind the wheel, which is one of the biggest distractions and causes of car accidents. You can receive penalties for careless driving, such as points, fines, and losing your licence. Giphy2. Reckless and Dangerous DrivingReckless and dangerous driving is when the level of driving dips far lower than what a careful and competent motorist should expect. Many young drivers like to show off to their friends and believe they’re in full control of the vehicle. However, driving or racing aggressively and dangerous overtaking can heighten your risk of a car accident and be the reason you lose your driving licence. Tenor3. Insurance OffencesLearning to drive can be costly for young drivers. In addition to driving lessons and tests, they must also pay for a vehicle and insurance. Skipping insurance can be a tempting way to save money upfront, but it's a risky gamble. Driving without insurance leaves you financially exposed in case of an accident. This means you could be on the hook for any compensation for damages suffered by others involved in the crash, including car repairs, medical bills, and even lost wages. On top of that, you could face a hefty fine, a revoked license, and even jail time.Giphy 4. Exceeding Speed LimitsWhile many young drivers are mature enough to adhere to speed limits, others lack patience, which is another reason they lose their licence. Whether on a motorway or pedestrian street, you must adhere to the speed limit. Exceeding it will not only put you and other motorists in danger, but it could also result in your losing your licence. Giphy5. Driving Under the InfluenceYoung drivers and alcohol don’t mix well. If you’re new to driving, you may think you can handle your drink before stepping behind the steering wheel. However, driving under the influence will impact your concentration levels and increase your car accident risk. Finding another car insurance policy is easier said than done if you've been convicted of drunk driving. Fortunately, companies like Quotezone can help you find a drink-driving insurance policy. You can compare drink-driving insurance quotes on their website and find out just how much the cost can vary if you have been convicted.Young drivers won’t have as much experience on the road, so you must follow traffic signs and directions, avoid drinking, and stick to the speed limit to reduce the risk of losing your licence.
