How to handle a stormy situation while riding this summer
Most motorcyclists are under the false impression that the rubber on their bike tires would be enough to protect them from the wrath of lightning.
Unfortunately, this is not necessarily true. Motorcyclists are not alone in this false sense of security; most automobile drivers also feel they will be protected by the rubber on their tires.
The difference between automobiles protection from lightning and motorcyclists is that automobiles have the steel cage that acts as a lightning rod and if struck, allows the lightning to travel down the steel cage and ground around the vehicle.
New helmet can help motorcycle riders in an emergency
There is a new kind of motorcycle helmet being designed that can potentially save the lives of many motorcycle riders involved in accidents.
It is yet to be released on the market, but is testing well and proving to cause quite a good stir. It is designed to work similar to that of the On-star feature in vehicles.
When a rider is in a crash, the technology in the helmet is designed to call for emergency services.
