The world of aftermarket accessories for vehicles of all types is much larger than most people imagine. In fact, you could easily build an entire motorcycle or automobile from the ground up using nothing but aftermarket parts and accessories. But as anyone who has ever sifted through a catalog of BMW 1200 GS accessories can tell you, not every accessory is right for every rider.
In fact, anyone who wants to find useful items that can truly enhance the riding experience is going to have to kiss an awful lot of frogs before one of them turns into a prince. There is one accessory; however, that’s been making a big splash amongst riders of all skill levels, the helmet camera.
These high tech, and very durable high definition cameras are designed to be mounted on helmets or handlebars. This allows the rider to record his or her entire trip, without worrying about changing tapes or adjusting the position of the camera. When you’ve got a camera like the Contour Roam attached to your head, it records the ride exactly as it happens.
Chances are you’re not going to want too many accessories attached to, or dangling off of, your motorcycle, so choose your accessories wisely.
I’ve been working for Tri County Transit ever since the summer after I graduated high school. I just didn’t really see myself going off to college and racking up all of that debt, so I applied for as many different good gigs as I was qualified for. I started out there sweeping up the floors and basically running all kinds of errands for the executives, which usually entailed going to Target and picking up their dry cleaning. But I learned a lot doing all of this, so as the years passed I started slowly and slowly to move my way up. Eventually I got to the transit level and started making decent money. It was enough for my girlfriend and I to get married and get an apartment, which ended up being one of the biggest mistakes of my life.
I guess we were too young and naïve to see exactly what it was that we were getting into, but at the time there was no one who could tell us anything because we thought we knew everything there was to know about life. Now I spend my days trying to forget about all the problems were having as I check the laser levels on all of our machines. I try to talk to my father about these things, but he doesn’t really know too much about relationships and making them work.
