A helmet (and optional ear plugs) protects you from hearing loss or being pelted by debris, insects, rain, hail and it could one day save your life. It’s true and we all know it. Estimates show that helmets improve your odds of survival by almost 40%. That is, for every 100 riders killed not wearing one, 40 riders could have lived had they all been wearing helmets. This statistic will vary from area to area. Well designed rider clothing keeps you protected from windburn, sunburn, exhaust burns, and is a comfortable first line of defense if worse comes to worse. Some riders wear a motorcycle jacket, but complete the outfit with riding. Fact is, your legs are very vulnerable so why not protect them just as well? You would be mad not to consider the very best in motorcycle clothing. In a crash, cotton clothing will do little to save you. Shorts, tee shirts or sweat pants offer negligible safety value. Fashion leather may shred as instantly as cloth. If you choose leather, make sure it’s suitable for motorcycle use.

For the heat of summer, manufacturers offer perforated leather or abrasion-resistant mesh. There are also kevlar inserts in high quality motorbike clothing. Whatever you wear, make sure it’s protective! Some of the worst crashes I’ve seen or read about have been with people who fell off the motorcycle who were wearing short sleeves, or shorts, or a tank top, etc., and it’s not a pretty sight. Motorcycle clothing can cost significant money, but if you crash once, you will not question whether it was worth it or not. The skin covering your joints – knuckles, elbows, hips, knees, ankles, and shoulders – is especially easy to damage, and a crash can remove it, and even flesh, and healing can take a year or longer.

Built-in armor, or strapped-on armor under your clothing at these points is highly recommended! Some gear comes with European-standard armor, rated “CE” level I (good), or level 2 (best). Motorcycle clothing sold in Australia is not required to meet any certification, however. The hands and feet are intricate mechanisms made of many delicate bones. They can be crushed or broken far too easily. Boots should be heavy-duty leather with hard armor around the ankle, and ideally padding too. Leather gloves with long gauntlets should likewise have impact protection on the knuckles and palms, and even wrists. Spend enough time researching and talk to your dealer and others about your options. There are many great choices available and you should never gamble with your safety. Night riding is also something to be aware of when considering you clothing protetction. As it is, some riders avoid the night because unless extra steps are taken, it is usually harder to see and be seen. What’s more, in many the country and in suburbia, bugs can be an issue. Many riders wind up riding in the dark of the early morning or after the sun has gone down, or both. So, if you expect to ride in the dark, you’d be well advised to assess your equipment and decide whether it is really all you need it to be. And even once you are satisfied with your setup, you will still want to ride within limits. If your eyesight is OK, the rest of the equation is determining how up to the task your lights are. Some touring bikes may be pretty well endowed with lighting. On the other hand, some sportbikes and others may be just so-so. This is a judgment call based on your skill, vision, and risk tolerance, but a lot of stock bikes could stand a headlight upgrade.

Helmet, Learthers, Boots, Gloves are very important as is where and when that you ride. If you find this article helpful, consider Aussie Loans when you are looking for Bike Finance or a Bike Loan.

The history of BMW motorcycles dates back to the year 1921 in Munchen, when a firm started making engines for other manufacturers. BMW (Bayerishe Motoren Werke) launched its first motorcycle namely the R32, in 1923. Currently, the firm’s motorcycle manufacturing is under the brand name BMW Motorrad.

In the year 1916, two firms, Flugzenmaschinenfabrik (an Airplane Factory) belonging to Gustav Otto, and Flugwerke Deutschland belonging to Karl Rapp, joined to form the company Bayerische Flugzeugwerke. Initially it made airplane engines, and was later renamed as Bayerische Motoren Werke of Bavarian Motor Works (BMW), by Max Friz and Karl Rapp in the year 1917. Their logo comprising a roundel, portraying an airplane propeller in a blue sky, has remained popular and is also seen on BMW cars today. Aussie Loans has a similar colour scheme to BMW which was by accident rather than to copy.

The German air force funded BMW to manufacture the Fokker DV II, which was among the best aircraft of the day. However, at the end of the First World War, in 1919, the Treaty of Versailles was signed, and Germany was forbidden from making airplanes. Reluctantly, the company’s head designer Max Friz turned to make automobile and motorcycle engines, in order to keep the company afloat. Most importantly, he designed the horizontally opposed twin cylinder engine, which is better known as the “boxer” engine today. The M2B15, its first boxer engine, used the British Douglas design, which gave BMW moderate success. A more successful version emerged shortly afterwards, using a light alloy cylinder head. Aussie Loans believes this to be at the forefront of technology at the time.

In 1923, the R32, the earliest BMW motorcycle was manufactured. With cylinder heads made of aluminum alloy, the engine had a re-circulating wet-sump oiling system, a very advanced feature for the time. This system was used by BMW until 1969, and the R32 became the basis for the future boxer powered motorcycles. It also had a shaft drive, which was retained till the F650 was introduced in 1994 – only the F650 series does not have shaft drive.

In the year 1935, BMW launched the first motorcycle using telescopic forks. In 1937, Ernst Hene set a world record, which stood for fourteen years, riding a supercharged 500cc OHC BMW at 173.88MPH. Ernst sadly passed away in 2005, at the age of hundred.

The R68, BMW’s first sporting motorcycle was launched in 1951, and by 1954 it was making 30,000 motorcycles. In 1957, it lessened to 5,500 or less, and it exported eighty-five percent of its twin powered boxer motorcycles towards the late 1950s, to the United States. From 1960 to 1984, BMW was in financial trouble, though it periodically launched single-cylinder models, offering the last of the series namely, R27 in 1960. During this period, however, a range of high capacity boxer twins were produced including a model that many consider to be one of the great modern classics — the R90S.

Aussie Motorbike Loans hears often that Harley Davidson is praised with building the best motorcycles on the Earth. There is little doubt that they deserve the acclaim and as Aussie Loans can attest to – the product is great and has a huge fan base.

Aussie Loans has researched motorbike builders Arthur Davidson and William Harley. They dreamt of creating a “motorized bicycle” in their early adulthood. Test models were created and failed miserably, however this never deterred the boys from achieving their goal. Despite early models requiring foot power on hills, Harley and Davidson continued striving to create the motorbike that we know and they knew it would become a great success.

By 1906, the first fifty motorcycles were manufactured. A few years later, they followed with a line of motorcycles for police and military use. Short of a slowdown in the 1970s, Harley Davidson never stopped tweaking and improving their models. Today, Harley Davison produces millions of motorcycles for use on every corner of the globe.

The distinct engine roar and loud vibrations through their tailpipes allow onlookers to hear the motorcycle far before it is visible. Listening to the strength of a Harley Davidson engine is an experience few will forget. Aussie Loans deal with a number of Harley dealers including Heavy Duty Motorcycles.

Three motorcycle nicknames were established courtesy of Harley Davidson. “Choppers” were born when the angle of the motorcycle’s front fork was extended allowing the handlebars to sit further back. “Hogs” became aptly named for the extra room used to transport racing pigs without switching to a larger vehicle. Who said people are the only ones who can ride a Harley? “Harleys” offered a shorter, catchier way to name a motorcycle manufactured by Harley Davidson.

In 1983, H.O.G., The Harley Owners Group, formed its first chapter. Today more than 1,000 chapters are in existence and more than one million members share their love of these bikes, whether they own one or not. The devotion to this fine brand is proven, and you do not have to be among the elite to enjoy all there is to Harley Davidson. There are also a slew of online forums and websites devoted to Harley Davidson. Not even Yamaha, BMW, Victory, or Honda come close to having the same fan base. The enquiry that we get for finance is a mixed bag – some like the Harleys and some prefer the Japanese brands.

Even if you cannot afford a Harley, you can still show your enthusiasm for the maker by purchasing items from their merchandise line. All of these items help contribute to Harley Davidson’s $5 billion revenue every year. Hey, the advertising helps too! Not that Harley Davidson is hurting for promotion. If you want to buy a Harley – call Matt at Aussie Motorbike Loans on 1300256267 and we will get you a loan that will suit your needs.

The Reserve Bank (RBA) Board has a tough job on its hands when it makes its rate decision next week.The RBA must assess global economic conditions, which are still characterised by some uncertainty over Europe and below-par growth in the United States. In assessing the global outlook, the RBA is most interested in economic conditions in Asia, especially China. It is with this region that Australia does more than 60 percent of its trade and it is this region that is helping prop up world growth at a time when the European and US economies are faltering.

The RBA must also consider the nature of the domestic economy. And here the Aussie economy still carries the ‘patchwork’ or multi-speed economy’ tags. There continue to be key areas of strength in the local economy, namely business investment and related sectors. There is also a strong net income injection to Australia from the record level of the terms of trade. On the other hand, there are also sectors in the economy that are struggling, courtesy of the high Australian dollar, selective household caution and the structural change the economy is undergoing. Some of the key sectors affected are manufacturing, tourism, education and retailing.

Speculation about the possibility of a rate cut in the press has encouraged a recent improvement in some of the indicators tracking these softer patches of the economy, although it is too early to be certain that it is the beginning of a lasting trend. Moreover, despite the recent improvements, these areas remain in soft patches. These indicators include retail sales, housing finance and building approvals. There have also been bounces in confidence for both consumers and businesses, although the pessimists still outnumber the optimists.

At the RBA’s October board meeting, it noted that an improved inflation outcome would increase the scope for monetary policy to provide some support to demand, should that prove necessary. The inflation data for the September quarter as a result was seen as vital in determining the next rate move. While it is vital, the RBA still takes a comprehensive look at the data available on the economy.

The underlying inflation data for the September quarter was surprisingly low and a big change from the growth in prices recorded in the previous quarter. Indeed, it was the lowest quarterly growth rate in fourteen years and the second lowest reading since the early eighties. The RBA’s existing inflation forecasts have underlying inflation breaching its target band of 2-3 percent per annum at the end of the year and having a ’3′ in front over the forecast horizon period. It’s the main reason just a few months ago the overwhelming consensus view was for more rate hikes from the RBA. What a difference a few months has made. The consensus view now resides with rate cuts.

The latest inflation data means that when the RBA publishes its quarterly Statement on Monetary Policy report on November 4, its inflation forecasts will be downgraded. It is unlikely that underlying inflation will now breach the target over this horizon. Together with the downside risks to the world economic outlook, one cannot rule out a rate cut from the RBA next week. One can easily find a solid argument for the RBA to sit pat next week and keep its powder dry. The RBA might want to wait-and-see how the recent improvement in domestic demand develops. Unemployment remains low, reflecting a tight labour market. The weak productivity outcomes mean unit labour costs are rising. And the strong business investment spending in the pipeline means the inflation worry beads can’t be popped in the bottom drawer and forgot about. Further, there’s been a recent easing in financial conditions, for example via lower fixed mortgage rates.

If a rate cut eventuates, we do not think that this rate cut would precipitate a deep or long series of rate cuts. The shape the Aussie economy is in simply does not warrant it.

For most of the world’s population, they are also the most common type of motor transport. There are around 200 million motorcycles of many types in use worldwide which equates to about 33 motorcycles per 1000 people. This compares to around 590 million motorcars at about 91 per 1000 people. Most of the motorcycles, 58%, are in the developing countries such as Asia, both Southern and Eastern Asia and the Asia Pacific countries. while 33% of the cars (195 million) are concentrated in the United States and Japan. In 2006 China had 54 million motorcycles in use and an annual production of 22 million units. As of 2002, India with an estimated 37 million motorcycles/mopeds was home to the largest number of bikes in the world.

Bike Loans Brisbane deal with retailers who know bikes and how they are constructed – motorcycle construction is the engineering, manufacturing, and assembly of components and systems and the construction of modern mass-produced motorcycles has standardized on a steel or aluminum frame and forks holding the front wheel. Motorbike loans explain that some other body parts, designed for either aesthetic or performance reasons may be added. A petrol powered motor typically consists of between one and four cylinders coupled to a manual five or six speed transmission which drives the rear wheel by a chain, driveshaft or belt.

Very high fuel economy equivalents are often derived by electric motorcycles. Aussie Loans Bike finance state that electric motorcycles are nearly silent – electric motor-driven vehicles. Operating range and top speed suffer because of limitations of battery technology. Petroleum-electric hybrids are also under development to extend the range and improve performance of the electric motors.

Various types of motorcycles have different dynamics and from Aussie Loans point of view, these play a role in how a motorcycle performs in given conditions. For example, one with a longer wheelbase provides the feeling of more stability by responding less to disturbances. Motorcycles must be leaned in order to make turns. This lean is induced by the method known as counter steering in which the rider momentarily steers the handlebars in the direction opposite of the desired turn. Because it is counter-intuitive this practice is often very confusing to novices and even to many experienced motorcyclists. Aussie motorbike loans believe that practice and training will make the difference.

Managing your money wisely usually means planning your budget and being careful with your spending. Budgeting with credit cards can mean the difference between you working for the credit card or your credit working for you. Your credit history and spending habits determine how well your credit cards do the job you got them to do. The credit limit represented by the credit card is not just free money that has to be spent but represents a short-term loan extended by the credit card company to you. Unpaid balances accrue interest and overdue balances will accrue interest, fees and sometimes will cause the interest rates to go up. Treat them with respect and know that you really should pay these out on a monthly basis.

Cash advances with your credit card may be far more expensive than simply withdrawing it from the bank , even if the balance is paid promptly with the bill there may be interest charges that apply only to cash advances. While this may be fine in an emergency, it is wise to read the credit card terms carefully. Understand any interest rates and charges that may apply and use this feature only when necessary or advantageous. Taking care with your credit card spending, planning expenditures and paying off balances promptly can in turn create rewards for you far beyond just a debt free life. Paying bills promptly will usually result in a better credit rating. Better credit ratings will normally result in lower interest rates on credit cards offered in the future, eligibility for the better rewards programs and even a larger line of credit, if that is desired as an emergency cushion.

When a card has been paid on time for a number of months or years, the available balance or line of credit may be increased by the credit card company. This does not mean the credit consumer needs to increase the amount they spend on their credit card unless they can afford to repay more each month. Credit is easy to ruin and far more difficult to repair, and the best way to control it is to monitor spending and assure the funds are available to pay off the balance. Using a credit card to track expenditures, avoid carrying cash or as an emergency line of credit should the unexpected happen is wise money management. Spending on a credit card beyond what you can afford to repay, or spending just because there is still an available balance, is not wise money management. It may seem obvious to spend only what you can afford unfortunately this is not always understood by the credit consumer.

It is never too late or too early to begin learning to manage credit so it works for you and you do not work for it. Credit cards are lifesavers in emergency situations, they are an aid to budgeting and understanding where money goes each month, they are excellent for purchasing online and traveling without carrying cash, but you still must have a realistic grasp on what you can afford and what you can’t. If you don’t feel you can afford a fur coat on your salary before you get a credit card, the chances are you will still not be able to afford it after getting a credit card. It may be easy to sign that credit card slip for an expensive purchase, but it is always important to remember, the bill comes due and it must be paid. Learn to use credit cards to live a better life, and control your spending, don’t let your spending control you.

Call aussie Loans and we can consolidate your credit cards into one personal loan which will make it easier to manage – then cut up those cards and be free of them – call 1300 633334 to gain control of these.

Today, Mortgage brokers have been rescued from a potentially “horrendous” compliance impost, following intense lobbying from the MFAA and industry representatives on consumer disclosure regulations. Long-awaited Federal Treasury regulations on disclosures – which include credit guides, quotes, and proposal documents – are due to be announced later this week, and are widely expected to contain a revision of the deadline for compliance from 1 January to 1 April next year. According to the MFAA CEO Phil Naylor, the final form of the regulations relating to disclosure will be much more palatable for mortgage brokers and the rest of the lending industry, when compared with the initial draft which shocked the industry by ignoring previous industry guidance.

Such stipulations in the draft regulations included requiring brokers to disclose upfront in dollar terms the amount of trail they could expect to earn over the life of the loan.

To their credit, Treasury has been very responsive to our concerns and we are now confident that the regulations, when finalised, will result in much more broker-friendly compliance requirements while still providing appropriate disclosure and protection to consumers. While Treasury is currently unable to confirm the deadline extension before the release – or the provision of exemptions to the deadline, which would have the same effect – it will be designed to allow the industry time to implement the regulations with only a few weeks left of the year.

Also, A new poll has found nearly a million mortgage holders are likely to switch lenders in spite of exit fees. The Newspoll indicates more than 900,000 borrowers or 17% of respondents said they were likely to change lenders in the next six months. Nearly 40% said they would change if there were no exit fees. The poll was commissioned by consultancy firm Perception Partners. The survey was compiled from November 26 to 28, well after the last cash rate hike by the RBA.

The ongoing banking debate is clearly focusing the minds of borrowers on the options available to them, including the ultimate choice of changing to another lender. With these findings, Australian borrowers are sending a serious shot across the bows of the home loan banking sector. I have been instructing my clients to call the banks direct and simply ask for a bigger discount, or they will leave. Nine out of 10 are getting it, and it is saving the clients exit fees.

Selling finance online or any other product can be great for business. According to the most recent data internet income for Australian businesses increased by 52 percent in the 12 months to 2008-09. The value of these orders represents over $120 billion, up from $81 billion in 2007-08. While only 26 percent of all Australian businesses received orders via the internet, this equated to 190,000 businesses, an increase of approximately 20,000 businesses over 12 months. The small businesses which have successfully jumped on this bandwagon have created e-commerce forays that are more than simple payment gateways. Their sites are trustworthy, secure and good for their businesses.
