There are two aspects of ATV'ing that can really make your next ride an incredible adventure as opposed to just average.  Better performance is the first and comfort is the second.   To better aid you in enjoying your next ride we have assembled the top atv accessory ideas to give you both an upgrade in atv performance and comfortability in driving.

 1. The bumper is the first part of the atv accessory list that has to be considered. Originally a bumper was a separate metal bar or blade at each end of a vehicle to prevent damaging the atv.  The bumper is one of the more upgradable aspects of an atv.  ATV bumpers com in different colors, shapes and materials.  Which can give your atv a much more streamlined appearance and make your ride faster, thus truly more enjoyable.

2. Another atv accessory is a cabin enclosure.  What you use your atv for dictates which cab enclosure that you should purchase.  If you use it for fishing expeditions.  The weather becomes stormy and you are far from shelter.  All you need is a atv cabin enclosure installed to make this atv problem go away.  A good cabin enclosure has 3 windows, one entry door, and is made of a flame retardant material. Another atv cabin enclosure is what is called a “hunting blind”.  It is 5 zippered gun ports.  Some hunting blind atv cabin enclosures have a zippered gun port in the roof for goose and duck hunting.

 3. The third must have atv accessory can be broken down into several categories.  This particular atv accessory is a holder for your spotting scope, camera, and 8mm and VHS camcorder.  Want to carry small things with you without losing them?  A fender organizer atv accessory will do the trick.  For bigger items  think about purchasing a bucket hugger controlled cargo tray.  The bucket hugger atv accessory securely holds two 50-gallon buckets and tools. 

4. The next atv accessory no active ATV'er should be without is good grip.  During a ride in the summer your hand may get slippery from the seat and you can easily lose control of the vehicle.  You want grips that are made of non-slip soft rubber.  Look at high-density foam.  This can deaden vibration and prevents the dreaded "tingling" in your hands.  Ask for anti-vibration pads, which minimize fatigue and prevent slippage. 

5. Helmets are way to show your individuality.  Helmets come in a multitude of styles, shapes and colors.  But no matter what helmet you decide to purchase make sure have a lock for the helmet.  A great atv accessory are slip through standard "D" rings which will help secure the helmet to your ATV.

6. Last but not least atv accessory which will give you the ultimate in comfortability while atv-ying are handlebar mitts.  Fitting easily over the handlebars they keep your hands warm and dry when the weather is not that favourable. 

Just remember these are just suggestions to make your next trip enjoyable.  An upgrade in both performance and comfortability, increasing the chances of your next atv experience one of the best yet.

Rides and Risks on Motorcycles


Weather condition for instance has its sets of advantages and disadvantages.

Rainy days make riding pretty difficult. Imagine this scenario. The road is slippery and wipers won’t work plus the rain blurring your vision. The controls on your bike get soaking wet. What an agony!

Certainly, rainy weather invites preposterous outcomes. Your foot can slip off the pedal. Your finger can slide down the clutch lever. Thus, your control over the bike is affected.

The inconvenience is a bit lesser when traveling in a windy condition. When strong crosswinds attack, biker must swerve to compensate for it. Wind may cause a serious risk to the rider. Add in oil spillage. Now you can triple the risk.   atj

The best weather condition to drive is sunny when the sun is permissive. Although said condition may leave you copiously sweating, it is still the best weather condition. Limited risks mean adventure and enjoyment. All you have to do is ride and enjoy! Great possibilities are just ahead of you!

Aside from weather, a rider must consider the risk management. What does it mean? Simply, risk management is understanding and circumventing risks. In order to do so, the rider must know the ins and outs of riding – the physical, environmental and vehicular limitations.

Risk management may be manifested by using quality motorcycle apparel, parts and having proper training in driving. Moreover, riders who practices risk management are less likely to experience collision. As a result, they enjoy a hassle-free ride.

There are three steps involve in risk management. The first step is to acknowledge the existence of risks. Damage to property as well as injuries and fatalities to persons can be the results of poor driving.

The second step is to assist said risks. This is a learned skill. Newbies might be groping when it comes to assessment skills. Thus, they have to exert more effort to increase their skills. Using protective gears is a manifestation of good assessment.

The last step is risk recognition. A rider cannot avoid a risk if did he not recognize it first. There are two kinds of risks – the subjective and objective.

Subjective risks involve those which are inherent in a rider’s attitude. Objective risks, on the other hand, are brought about by environment, road and vehicle conditions.

Risk management should be a natural effect of riding and it must be uphold all the time.
