So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

How To Be Safe When Headed For Adventures In Dirt Bikes

By Paula Barron


Most young people are all over enjoying the rides of their lives. It could look very enjoyable especially that dirt bikes Billings MT are becoming very popular. With many people so engrossed, it is not a surprise to have more of them around. Before these young ones cause some of the elder's heart attack incidents, they should learn some safety tips.

The vehicles are known as off-highway motorcycles and are likely used by the riders when they have to go through rough terrains. Many young males are going crazy about riding one of these in their adventures. Of course, they know that there is a great chance of them getting injured as the roads could be a little bumpy. Knowing these things will help them prepare for the inevitable.

The secret often is on how people mount the vehicles. If they are not going to put it in a good position, it could knock them down. One thing that they should do is to hold on to the handlebars while the brake is pressed down. It should also be placed in a stable surface so that it is in a good position to accommodate a rider. The secret is in the stability of the place.

It is also good to familiarize the controls before using the vehicle. It would be necessary to look at all of the components before riding. Identifying the brakes, throttle, shift lever, clutch and stop switch works best. Knowing where these controls are would ease the burden. So many people do not realize the risks involved until they are already driving and must press on the brake quickly.

Another part of the vehicle that should be checked are the tires and wheels. It is important to check if the tires are properly inflated. The knicks should also be checked since the spokes and the rims could give away the condition of the rubber. In case there are scratches or cuts, these too should be attended to. If not properly assessed, the tires could blow off.

Before riding the vehicle, all of the parts should be inspected. There should be enough lubrication in the chains as well so that it will move well. Bolts and nuts should be checked as well since there is a great chance that these may loosen from the last ride. The handlebars should also be checked for any cracks. It is best not to take any minor cracks for granted since these will lead to accidents.

Riders should also protect themselves through gears. They could use helmets so that they will be protected in case they will be falling off of the vehicle. They can also use other things such as goggles, gloves and knee or elbow pads. These things are not just accessories that will make them look good but will also protect them.

It pays to know the terrain too. No one should gamble on their safety. There are places which are known for being accident-prone. These places then should be avoided if people want to be safe.

The dirt bikes Billings MT are a lot of fun but there are risks involved. They can turn riders to happy drivers but they should be mindful of their safety. Gears are available to protect their bodies.
