Motorcycle Dealers

By Tony Harries

Love them or hate them we need them.

A motorcycle dealer is a person chosen by the motorcycle manufacturer to sell their motorcycles. He is thus a company authorised person to sell motorcycles on their behalf.

The most common requirement to become a motorcycle dealer are availability of substantial capital to invest, experience in dealing with motorcycles, availability of a commercial space, and also the readiness to provide excellent after sales support to the customers.

The priorities of a retail motorcycle dealer are generally the same as for any other retailer.

The company pays the dealer a fixed percentage on every sale made, and that is the basic way in which a motorcycle dealer, or any dealer for that matter, makes money. Although low in percentage terms, the dealers margin is quite high when the actual selling price of a motorcycle is taken into account.

Depending on the company, the company may also invest in the set up, or may agree upon either a revenue sharing, or a fixed plus revenue sharing arrangement with a motorcycle dealer. However, the company will certainly provide motorcycle dealers with all training assistance. While there is no doubt that there are great opportunities to become a motorcycle dealer, it is a profession that requires tremendous hard work, dedication an discipline on the part of the motorcycle dealer.

It is only when the motorcycle dealer performs his sales and after sales functions effectively that the motorcycle gets sold.

Motorcycle dealers offer a comprehensive range of new and used motorcycles,parts,service and accessories.

Dealerships need to get a grip on the fact that a lot of women are buying motorcycles.

My local Kawa dealer is a tiny place, but the people there have been really helpful when I've needed to order parts. We visited a lot of dealers when we were looking for bikes, but I've found that our smaller, local shops are the best.

Motorcycle Crashes and Your Rights as Victims

By Rainier Policarpio

For many enthusiasts in Los Angeles County, motorcycling is indeed a great means in traveling around or going to their destinations either work or studies, business or leisure and in any other places. They feel that it more enjoyable and cheaper to ride a bike rather than any other four-wheeled vehicles due to its size, speed and fuel efficiency. However, some of them are not aware of the extreme risks that they are into whenever they are using their motorcycles.

In 2005 alone, 4,553 individuals have died from motorcycle accidents wherein 56% of such cases involve multi-vehicle motorcycle accidents according to the records of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. These accounts do not even include the number of those who have sustained serious personal injuries.

In reality, the dangers in riding motorcycles should not be set aside. As compared with other four-wheeled automobiles, a motorcycle has no match with its strength in case of crashes. Consequently, it can be assumed that the motorcycle rider will incur much worse injuries or even death.

Meanwhile, if the injured motorcyclist considers himself innocent of any liabilities in the accident, he is entitled by the law to demand compensation against the other motorist who has caused the accident. This is to recover suitable reimbursements for his:

• hospital bills (medical treatment and rehabilitation)
• pain and suffering
• mental distress
• loss of past and future wages
• property damages (motorcycle repair or replacement)
• funeral expenses (to be given to the victim's survivors in case of his death)
• loss of enjoyment
• any other expenses and losses that resulted from the crash

Although the law gives the victims appropriate rights and privileges, they still have to prove the guilt of the other party before they can obtain their money. In so doing this, it is important for them to have their respective legal advocate - an experienced and competent motorcycle crash lawyer - to help then in reaching a favorable outcome.

With his expertise about the related laws and proper handling of such cases, a legal counsel has the capacity to guide and represent their clients regarding the filing of their cases in the attainment of justice. While other people believe that they can handle their cases on their own, it is still a wise act to hire a lawyer for his ability to dig on any case and increase the amount of possible recoveries.

Therefore, if you are one of those motorcycle fanatics who were injured in an accident, act immediately, consult your most trusted lawyer and expect the most out of your case.

Motorcycle Accidents: Preparing Your Case

By Blur Loterina

Motorcycle accident is an unexpected occurrence that results to shock and trauma, serious physical injuries and death. The most common reason of a motorcycle accident, which contributed to the 50% of the motorcycle vehicle, is due to the failure of another motorist to see the motorcycle. It is estimated that 75% of motorcycle accidents involve another motor vehicle, two-thirds of which were caused by the motorist failing to yield the right of way. Motorcycle accidents not only involve driver�s negligence, it also includes product defect and unsafe roadways.

Motorcycle accident happens so fast that we are not able to control it. During an accident, we cannot do much, especially when we are injured. We cannot think of anything but the pain that we are suffering. It is essential for us to know the things that we have to do after the accident.

In situations wherein you are still able to talk, walk and move without difficulty, you might as well do the following steps. Get the name, address, phone number, driver�s license number, and other significant information about the other driver involved in the accident. Also, get the names, address and phone numbers of the witnesses, if there is any. Ask if they can give some statement and record the conversation. Take note of important visual information, like scratches and marks on the car and the weather condition. If you do not have pen or any writing materials, review the scene in your mind so that you can remember it. You have to tell the police exactly what happened. Assist the police with the investigation, be cooperative. Take pictures of the cars involved in the accident in different angles.

If you were injured or feel any pain or discomfort, seek medical attention immediately. A delay may raise questions whether the injury was caused by the accident or not. Have your wounds photographed, they heal quickly. You might need it during a case hearing or investigation. Have a copy of all medical reports as well as the hospital bills.

It is advisable for you to go back to where the accident occurred. Bring writing and recording materials with you. You might find more evidence and witnesses. If you�re going to take a picture, get somebody to witness it. Do not touch anything.

After gathering all the data, examine them. There might be something that can prove that it is you who is at fault.

Consult an attorney before filling out any documents or giving your statement. You might also need a lawyer to assist you in filling important papers, assist in court proceedings, and getting your claims.

Motorcycle Accidents and New York Personal Injury Law

By Warren Redlich

Motorcycle Accidents often involve personal injury problems for motorcycle drivers and passengers. In New York State, the rules for motorcycle accident cases are different than for car accidents.

In car accident cases, your medical bills and lost wages are paid by the insurance company for the car you were in at the time of the accident. This comes through a part of the insurance coverage on that car called "No-Fault," which also applies to pedestrians or bicyclists injured in a collision with the car. However, this coverage for a car does not apply to a motorcycle driver (or motorcycle passenger) who collides with the car.

The No-Fault Law in New York generally does not apply to motorcycles, and the coverage is not included in motorcycle insurance policies. An injured biker will often have substantial medical bills and lost wages. These may be paid by some other form of insurance, or the motorcyclist may have to deal with them out of his or her own pocket.

The issue of medical bills and lost wages affects the biker's personal injury claims as well. In a car accident personal injury case for pain and suffering, these "economic damages" are generally not a factor unless they exceed $50,000 - which is rare. In motorcycle cases, these damages often come into play. If a health insurer paid the bills they will often assert a "lien" against the damages from the personal injury case. The case cannot be resolved without addressing the lien, and some of this may come out of whatever the motorcyclist gets. Similarly, if the medical bills were not paid, the hospital and other medical providers may assert a lien themselves.

One consequence of the No-Fault Law for car accidents is that an injured person must prove that they sustained a "serious injury." Many New York car accident lawyers refer to this as the serious injury threshold. It makes these more difficult and indeed, renders many cases worthless. By contrast, since No-Fault does not apply, New York motorcycle accident lawyers have an easier time getting money for clients because they do not have to get over the serious injury threshold.

Another concern in motorcycle accident cases is the danger of jury bias. Many people view motorcycling as an inherently risky activity, and they may view bikers in a bad light. Such jurors are more likely to find a motorcyclist at fault. An experienced motorcycle accident lawyer will assess potential jurors during jury selection with an eye to finding people with these or other harmful biases and removing them.

New York Personal Injury Lawyer Warren Redlich handles motorcycle accident and car accident cases across upstate New York. In 2007 he obtained a $3.85 million verdict in a motorcycle accident case in Albany, New York for a biker who suffered a below-the-knee amputation when an SUV crossed over the centerline, striking the biker and driving him into another SUV.

Motorcycle Accidents

By Jene Pedder

Over the past few years Motorcycle Accidents have increased rapidly which is scary as the statistics of serious injuries and death is also continues to rise. 75% of all motorcycle accidents are the result of a collision with another vehicle may it be a car, another bike, bus and or a lorry. 65% of these accidents are because the driver of the other vehicle didn�t see the motorcyclist which usually happens at night-time which is when motorcyclists are at their most vulnerable.

Other accidents that involve motorcyclists include motorcyclists negotiating road curves at high speeds and under-cornering, motorcyclists failing to see objects in the road, riding under the influence of drugs or alcohol and also not looking after your bike � bad maintenance including having a flat tyre which can make a motorcyclist collide with another vehicle.

The most likely motorcyclist to have an accident is a male biker between the ages of 16-24 and also 50% of these accidents are with riders who have less than 5 months experience and this does include scooters. Bad weather only accounts for 2% of motorcycle accidents which is quite surprising.

If you�ve been involved in a motorcycle accident and you�ve had a scary experience maybe a car hit you, not only is it yourself that may have injuries but your bike, helmet. The motorcyclist usually gets most of their injuries from when they leave their bike and hit the ground. Your injuries may just be scratches and bruising if so you�ve got off lucky other injuries may include broken bones, internal injuries and you may have to stay in hospital for a while and then recoup at home. Make a list of all the damaged items in your accident so you have a clear record of these take pictures too if you can.

If the accident wasn�t your fault and you have suffered injuries from this accident you have a legal and civil right to make a compensation claim. Your compensation will depend on the injuries you have received as well as compensation for loss of earnings if you haven�t been able to go to work as well as medical bills you�ve paid for due to your injuries. The damages to your helmet and bike and any other clothing etc will also be reimbursed.

If you make a compensation claim on the agreement of No Win No Fee it�s a way for people who can�t or don�t want to pay the legal expenses involved in making a compensation claim against another party. The solicitor will only be paid once the claim is won, they don�t take any of your compensation claim they will get their fees from the losing parties insurance company.

Motorcycle Accident Statistics

By Richard Romando

Motorcycle accident statistics are gathered and calculated after much intensive and detailed study on motorcycle accidents. They are immensely important for all, authorities as well as motorcyclists, and serve many functions. The data gathered by studying the statistics offered helps in effectively combating accidents, or at least in taking steps to try to combat them.

Studies indicate that motorcycle accident rate is on the rise in our country. Brain damages, soft tissue damage, joint, bones, and shoulder breakage are often caused by motorcycle accidents.

Some studies conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Hurt Study findings, along with statistics provided by the Motorcycle Industry Council, have shed much light on the rate and causes of motorcycle accidents in our country.

A report by the National Highway Traffic Administration states that between 1975 and 1999, motorcycle accidents claimed the lives of 38,000 motorcyclists. The Fatality Analysis Reporting System has analyzed possible reasons for the increasing accidents. Some causal factors include the following: rural roads, high percentage of alcohol content in blood, night driving (which accounts for 60% of fatalities), vision problems, and undivided roadways, among. Weather does not account for most accident cases.

Head injuries top the list for causing deaths. Lack of helmet use or a proper license were found among many who were fatally injured. For instance, the report states that �one out of five motorcycle riders� who were fatally injured in 1996 did not have a valid license. Hence, less trained riders get injured frequently.

Statistics show that wearing safety gear as well as taking defensive driving lessons reduces one�s chances of an accident. The Motorcycle Safety Foundation provides safety lessons for new drivers.

Motorcycle accident statistics are extremely important, supplying relevant data and making us understand how to effectively reduce accidents and injuries.

More Than Thugs

By Fabian Toulouse

Motorcyclists come in a wide variety, but they all share one common problem: they are often lumped into one unsavory category. At best, they are often considered fool-hardy; at worst they are regarded as thugs. Because of such prejudices, all bikers can suffer in the aftermath of a motorcycle accident. Overcoming prejudice often calls for engaging the services of a motorcycle lawyer. A motorcycle lawyer knows better the specific laws pertaining to motorcyclists and is used to dealing with insurance companies and fellow litigators who often use common prejudices against motorcyclists who are trying to recover a settlement following an accident. A motorcycle lawyer who is himself a fellow motorcyclist can instill even more confidence in his or her clients.

A quality lawyer is one who has built an excellent winning reputation. In addition to a high level of success and dedication to his or her field, a motorcycle lawyer has to be active in the motorcycling community. It's this participation in the community that drives motorcycle lawyers to fight even harder for his or her clients.

A top-notch lawyer, especially a motorcycle lawyer, has to be an unparalleled fighter -- his or her record of success should speak for itself. Be sure to look for free consultations. A lawyer worth his or her salt should always, always, always give you a free, first time consultation.

Recovering a settlement after an accident is never pleasant business. Accident victims do not need the additional hassle. Hiring a motorcycle lawyer with an excellent reputation takes the pressure off the accident victim and his or her family, making it easier to heal and return things to normal.

Motorcycle jackets are usually worn for their armor value, which prevents major injuries to the driver in the event of falls or accidents. The jacket was invented in 1946, and it was made famous by Marlon Brando in 'The Wild One.' The leather jacket protects a driver's torso and arms. The motorcycle leather jacket is different from the classic leather jacket, because it is used more as armor than a fashion statement. The motorcycle leather jacket protects the driver from cold, wind and abrasions.

There are two major types of leather motorcycle protective outfits, the colorful single-piece ones predominantly seen on the race track, and the traditional jacket and trouser type. The leather trousers and jackets are generally metal-studded and are preferred by biker gangs.

A common motorcycle leather jacket is zippered, multi-pocketed and has a belted waist. Some leather jackets are made of cowhide. Motorcycle jackets are most useful when they have been fitted with proper armor. For example, most motorcycle jackets have padding just on the shoulders and elbows. A good motorcycle jacket will have padding even on the chest and back. It should be semi-rigid padding, so that it doesn't move with the movement of the driver.

Also, motorcycle leather jackets are available in waterproof leather, which are helpful against the rain. Although they don't act as well as a raincoat.

A proper motorcycle leather jacket will have more usable pocket space, better weather protection and adjustability. The leather used in motorcycle jackets should be at least a millimeter thick. The thickness of a jacket decides what kind of protection it allows to the rider. Some of the other features of a motorcycle leather jacket are the slightly dropped back to keep the wind out when the driver leans ahead, and articulated or pre-curved sleeves.

Some of the major companies dealing in motorcycle leather jackets are Harley Davidson, BMW and Alpinestar.

Important Information Concerning Recalls on Motor Vehicles and Equipments

By Carla C. Ballatan

Everyone knows that in accidents, there are myriad factors that could be the triggering force for it to occur. One of the most common of these factors is the defects in vehicles. Moreover, among the crucial issues concerning motor vehicle defects that the public is being confronted with is the safety recalls of vehicles like motorcycles.

The National Highway Safety Administration or NHTSA and manufactures of the vehicle's make and brand are the ones to instigate this scheme. This is in response to a vehicle defect or component defect.

In recalls for vehicles with defect, here are the procedures you have to understand and need to follow and the responsibilities of the people involved in it.

As such, a motorcycle accident lawyer can become a dependable help if in case you were injured following a motorcycle accident and then your motorbike was recalled, it may have a certain gravity that would influence the direction of your case.

The NHTSA and Duties of the manufacturers

Whether or nor there had been a safety recall conducted by the manufacturer or ordered done by the NHTS which directly involved your motorcycle, the manufacturer is responsible to file a public report that describes the following:

- Safety related defect
- Non-compliance with the safety standards imposed by Federal motor vehicle office
- Total population, in a given area, by the vehicle/equipment involved
- Description of the remedy to be applied
- Recall schedule

About recalls

Know that the duty of notifying vehicle owners about recalled vehicles or equipment falls to the motor vehicle manufacturers.

The manufacturers combine their records of the purchasers of the vehicle based on the updated State Vehicle Registration Information. With regard to vehicles equipment recalls, when there is no state registration record existing, manufacturers are obliged to give notifications to their distributors and other known purchasers of the equipment that has been recalled.

Most importantly, if you failed to receive a notification or failed to be reached by the notification and your vehicle, in particular and other equipment or item you bought for it has been the issue of a safety recall, the manufacturer is duty-bound to provide you with a free remedy for it.

According to the federal laws on safety recalls, problems concerning the safety of a vehicle or its equipment need to be remedied by the manufacturers without bringing undue cost to its consumer. The NHTSA of the U.S. Department of Transportation have the responsibility to monitor every safety recall and make sure that the manufacturers have provided the vehicle owners with safe, effective and free remedies based on the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966.

The manufacturer could be heavily liable if an accident happened wherein one of the factors is the ineffective remedy following a safety recall on the vehicle involved in the accident.

If ever you are a victim of this kind of factor, in a motorcycle accident for example, it is understandable that you incur tragic injuries. It is necessary to consult with a competent motorcycle accident lawyer about this to research about this aspect of your case.

You probably have made the rounds to the local motorcycle shops and priced out the motorcycle that you are hoping to purchase.

How to Get Cheap Motorcycle Insurance

By Deborah Mills

Almost everyone has imagined themselves at the helm of a great-looking motorcycle. With the rising cost of fuel, more and more people are actually taking the plunge and buying a motorcycle. Just as with any vehicle on the road, insurance is a must. If you want to enjoy cheap motorcycle insurance rates consider the following:

�Park the motorcycle in your garage. If you have the room, this is a must. The insurance company will offer a better rate if they know the bike is in a locked garage or shed. The reason is simple: there is a reduced risk of it being stolen or vandalized.

�Add your motorcycle to your car insurance policy. If you already own a vehicle, ask your car insurance agent for a quote for motorcycle insurance. Many insurance companies offer a policy discount if you are insuring more than one vehicle.

�Find out the cost of insurance before buying the motorcycle. Some motorcycles cost more to insure than others. This is typically due to the enhancements on the bike. If you are more interested in riding it from point A to point B to save on gas, than you are about the appearance, choose a less expensive motorcycle without all the bells and whistles.

�Drive the motorcycle less. Some insurance companies offer a cut rate to their clients who drive less. Inquire about the low mileage discount your insurance company offers and see if you qualify for it.

As with any type of vehicle insurance, motorcycle insurance rates drop if the driver proves they are responsible. For this reason avoiding making claims and staying within posted speed limits both contribute to keeping costs down. Motorcycle drivers should always call a few agents for insurance quotes just to see who offers the best deal.

How To Deal With A Motorcycle Crash

By Mel Raskinski

It's a fact of life: there are accidents involved with motorcycles every year with more motorcyclists lying in the hospital or worse. No matter how safe you drive, getting in an accident with a motorcycle is always a possibility every time you get on your bike. If you do some preparation now, you'll be better equipped when (or if) you ever find yourself in a motorcycle accident

Negligence is the common cause of accidents involving motorcycles. Since they are small compared to typical vehicles on the road, they can easily be manoeuvred within traffic and can hit another vehicle at a very fast speed. Most motorists who are unable to stop just in time can meet an unfortunate collision. Weather also plays an important role in the safety of the bikers. Rain, snow, blizzard and other weather conditions leave hazardous roads not only for this two-wheeled vehicle but for all types of vehicles as well. The wheels of the motorcycle are always in a weak position whenever the road is slippery, making bikers accident-prone. Whatever reason for the mishap - the motorcycle riders are usually always left with the damages. These include physical damages such as bone injuries and bruises, as well as property damage brought about by the collision of both parties.

Perhaps when you encounter an accident like this, the last thing on your mind is to fill out necessary forms and reports and undergo police investigations asking about the incident. However, after a biker would brush off all the dust and debris from the collision, he must immediately assess himself on how much damage the accident caused him. This is where you start thinking of how to deal with the aftermath of the accident.

First off, keep a clear record in your mind of all the scratches, bruises, broken bones, and other injuries in case you have to file a compensation claim against the other party, especially if you know that the crash is not your fault but the other party's. It is your civil and legal right to have a compensation claim. It would help you get reimbursements of the money you've paid or will pay for hospital bills. It would also help you calculate the approximate loss of earnings if you will be unable to go to work because of the accident. Also, you could get a clear idea of the damages to your motorcycle and motorcycle accessories.

Secondly, whether you caused the accident or not, it is your duty to report the situation to a highway patrol officer or state trooper officer at once. Then, recall what exactly happened before and during the collision. It is very important to make this call because some states suspend driver's licenses if they discover that you did not make a report by the time the accident happened.

Thirdly, you need to take into account not only the damage done to the motorcycle, but also any damage done to accessories damaged in the accident such as motorcycle saddle bags. If you think that the destructed property value is more than $500, you must also make an effort to report to the department of motor vehicles in your state - even if takes you a day or two to do so. Don't rely on hearsays or second hand information especially since procedures are different from one state to another.

Fourthly, regardless of whose fault the accident was, bear in mind that the department of motor vehicles in your state could check not only your injuries and damaged properties but also the type of insurance protection you had during the time of the motorcycle crash. This is why it is advisable to have proper insurance coverage before hitting the roads with a motorcycle. Aside from all these, motorcycle accidents, in general, would also mean a permanent record in your driving profile.

Given all this, one can safely say that riding a motorcycle is truly a very serious business. Undergo proper training on motorcycle driving and always wear proper equipment such as helmets before attempting to get out on the road.
