In the consumer marketplace, people may pay extra for a designer label, a recognized brand or products with celebrity endorsements. When a business invests in capital equipment, however, all the above becomes meaningless unless the equipment performs, meeting or exceeding expectations. While price, delivery and aesthetics are the usual factors people claim as the primary criteria when making a purchase, reliability, in my view, has slowly taken over the No. 1 spot as the key to customer satisfaction and repeat business. By reliability, I mean confidence that the purchased equipment will perform as advertised over a reasonable amount of time. Manufacturers will tell you that they are responsible for...

That is, will you be riding mostly in the city, short trips to the country, or longer rides? For the most part the majority of motorcycles available today are pretty good at doing more than one duty.

It was a decisive day in the history of American automobile culture in 1902, when two young friends left their stable jobs at a Milwaukee engineering firm to embark upon a venture that would irrevocably shape the course of motorcycle history forever.

Although though the first motor was reliable, it was enlarged because it was underpowered. The initial frame was too weak to hold the new engine so it was replaced with a stronger, more substantial structure that was built similar to the prototype. In 1903 they produced two more bikes and...

Worn out is to jeans, dilapidation is to buildings, exhaustion to humans - when it comes to tires it is tire wear. Tire wear is the actual removal of rubber from the tire due to scuffing. The latter is the process of scrubbing of material off the tires which results to cupping, flat band upright tire wear (common on the rear tire) and side flat band tire wear (common on front tire).
