Girls love motorbikes, and by extension, girls love bikers. That's why a cool biker leather jacket is a chick magnet and all you have to do is put your arms out and haul them in. So wouldn't you like to attract girls like bees round a honey pot?

Believe me, I know where you are coming from. I have a face like a buffalo's rear end and the girls didn't know whether to laugh or cry at me. I am the sort of guy that girls would cross the street to avoid talking to. At school dances I was the guy always left in the corner, because no girl would want to be seen dead with me.

So how did I get the chicks to flock to me like hens round the corn at breakfast time?

Here are the secrets that made me the envy of all the guys I used to go to school with?

  • Look cool
  • Think cool
  • Act cool

Believe me it's as easy as that!

So how did I look cool?

This was the breakthrough for me, because once I started looking cool, I started thinking cool. Once I did that, acting cool was a cinch.

It was the Biker Leather Jacket that did it for me. I didn't even own a bike at the time, but that didn't matter. Once I saw the light, the path was clear to me.

Once the first piece of the puzzle was in place, everything else started to fall right on in. I developed a lifestyle, which I grew into and have never looked back on.

Finally, a word of warning.

Looking cool with a Biker Leather Jacket is a great start, but not enough on its own. You have to follow through, or you could end up on your butt!

Discover the shocking truth of how a Biker Leather Jacket helped transform an ugly, chickless, no hoper into a babe magnet. Find out the truth about a Biker Leather Jacket Today!

Have you ever been on a group motorcycle ride before? If you have, then you know about the feeling you get when you’re cruising down the highway with a dozen or so of your close riding buddies and all you can smell is the exhaust from the other bikes in front of you. Or the rush you get when you all leave a small town and hammer on the throttle, roaring out of town, as if to say, “We were here!”

It’s true, group motorcycle riding can be an exhilarating experience and can provide for hours of great riding and camaraderie with your friends. But it can be a dangerous activity if the proper safety precautions are not met and if members of the group are riding unsafely. A group motorcycle ride can be successful if each person participating in the ride acts responsibly and without carelessness.

Organizing a group ride should only be left in the hands of one or two individuals. This will help to prevent the ride form getting too much input and not enough decision making on which routes are taken and when and where stops will occur. The trip should be planned out beforehand so that there is a set route in place and there isn’t any question about where the ride is going. Stops should also be planned ahead of time in order to keep the ride on track and on schedule. Stopping too many times or out of schedule will cause the ride to take longer, thus possibly having to alter the route and scheduled stops. Those individuals that are organizing the ride should also be the ones to lead it since they are the ones that know which turns to make and where to stop. A simple rule of thumb is if you don’t know where you’re going, don’t get out in front.

I’ve been on a number of group rides and I’ve learned a great deal each time I’ve gone out with a group. One thing I’ve learned is that is important to stick together as much as possible. This includes waiting at stop signs, or pulling off to the side, while the others catch up if they’ve fallen behind. What’s the point of going on a group ride if you’re always going to be separated and not stick together? I’ve also learned that each rider is unique and it’s important to realize that you’re not always going to be able to keep up with each other. If you feel you are riding too fast for your own comfort, then it’s better to fall back a little and catch up at the next stop sign than to ride out of your comfort zone and possibly get in an accident because you couldn’t handle yourself properly.

Finally, always be sure you are properly equipped for the ride which means having a proper motorcycle helmet, jacket, boots, pants, and other riding gear. The thrill of the ride won’t be as great if you are not properly equipped. You’ll be much more comfortable on your ride knowing that you’ll be protected in the event of a crash.

The group motorcycle ride can be an exciting experience and if it is lead properly, well organized, and ridden respectfully, it can be very rewarding for all of those involved. So sit back and enjoy the ride!
