Driving on the right is one of the biggest mistakes ever made, why it is a mistake has been kept a secret from more people than any other mistake in history, it is quite wrong for right handed people to drive on the right.

When changing gear in the UK your left hand changes gear and your right hand stays on the steering wheel, (this is safer for right handed people, in the USA you hold the steering wheel with your left hand and change gear with your right hand.

Try mounting a bike in the USA and you will find yourself in the stream of traffic when getting on the bike, try mounting a bike in the UK, this is done from the sidewalk by right handed people.Perhaps a billion cyclists in right hand driving areas around the world are all risking their lives mounting their bike in traffic

Right handed people are normally also "right eyed"they have the traffic coming toward them on their right in the UK, but traffic approaches from the left in USA & rhd areas. About 72% of people are right handed and right eyed.

Owning a motorcycle can be an expensive hobby because there are always improvements you can make, accessories to be bought and maintenance to be done. And as any motorcycle enthusiast will tell you, that can ad up to an considerable amount of money. In this article we will look at leather motorcycle accessories. What is essential gear and how can you safe some money on them.

What you need and what you want

Motorcycle accessories are a broad term and include items from protective gear up to stuff that make your motorcycle move faster. Leather motorcycle accessories usually include just (protective) gear, clothes and luggage items that you use when you ride. It depends on the type of bike you own what type of leather motorcycle accessories you'll need. But it also depends on how much you ride, if you ride all year round or just in summer and of course it depends on your budget.

To be honest there are leather motorcycle accessories for every budget and with online auction sites these days you can also buy second hand gear. If you are a typical weekend only rider on a small budget that might be a very good option. Its better to safe money the see your expensive leather motorcycle accessories sit around unused.

On the other side if you are the type of bike rider that likes to show of their bike and gear and takes pride in complementary style bike and leather motorcycle accessories then there is also enough to enjoy. In that case it does not matter if you are a frequent rider or if you like to show what you own you need the very best quality stuff.

If your the kind of motorcycle rider that rides often and in many different types of weather then you should look for leather motorcycle accessories that will protect you like safety gear, helmets and gloves because your life could depend on durable and reliable gear.

Leather motorcycle accessories for beginners

Most people who just have bought their first bike get carried away and would like to buy all of the leather motorcycle accessories they see and like. Most of the time this is not the the best choice they can make because your tastes and knowledge will grow when you ride more. However, there are several leather motorcycle accessories that you will need immediately and that you should purchase right away.

Wear a helmet at all times, this is an absolute must. There are states that don't have a helmet law, but it's essential that you do wear one. A helmet will protect your head and face from the trauma that usually occurs with a crash. Without a helmet a crash can cause extensive damage, even at slow speed, so it is necessary to wear a helmet at all time. Luckily there are great leather helmets available, some will look kind of retro but will have the latest protective technology underneath.

Another essential leather motorcycle accessories is the jacket, a leather jacket is not just to look cool, it also protects you from the elements while you are riding and from the damage in case of a crash. You are completely exposed on a bike, so you need to protect yourself when riding.

The last leather motorcycle accessories that are essential are a good pair of gloves that will keep your hands protected from the elements and help you keep a strong grip. Leather gloves often overlooked because many people don't believe they need them. In fact they are essential to help keep you safe and on the road.

As you see there are many leather motorcycle accessories that you'll need and there will be even more that you want to add as you become more experienced, but as a beginner these three are the most important. You can buy new gear or you can look online for used leather motorcycle accessories. This can safe you a lot of money and because it is leather it will even look better when it is used. Just make sure that it is in Good Condition.

As the surface of the water explodes, adrenaline shoots through your body. Your muscles lock you into position for a fight against whatever has just smashed your top water plug. No doubt about it, you're in for a scrap. You sweat, ache, curse and pray you'll get the fish into the boat. Your heart pounds as you wonder, "Will my knots hold? Did I set the hooks deep enough? Will everything hold together long enough for me to get this fish in?" The eventual catch is made all the sweeter by one outstanding fact - YOU hand crafted this plug yourself. It was you who dreamed it, whittled it, sanded it, painted it, and fabricated its every facet. Now you have your dividends in spades. There's a fish on. But first, let's hand craft a minnow-imitation, Rapala type lure.

Hand Crafting a Lure

To hand craft wooden top water fishing plugs requires minimal equipment. Here's what you basically need:

o 5" long Wooden plug blanks, sawed off from an old broom or mop handle You can also use wooden dowel stock

o A whittling knife or a box-cutter with break-off blades

o Small cans of white, red, yellow and blue enamel paint to color the lure

o Two Plastic doll eyes for each lure (the kind where the black eye part moves around)

o 3 or 4 Long-threaded screw eyes in brass or stainless to attach hooks and leaders

o A small spool of red or white sewing thread for wrapping on buck tails

o 3 or 4 number 5, 6 or 7 stainless steel split rings to attach hooks and leaders

o Barrel swivels to help prevent line twist above the leader

o A few 3" to 4" square pieces of medium to fine sandpaper to finish the lure surface

o 4" lengths of nylon ribbon or nylon rope to make the buck tail

o A tube of Super glue to cement in the screw eyes into the plug body

o Rubber cement to seal the thread wrapping of the buck tail

o A little love, patience and a sense of pride to add to the patina of your work

Lure Assembly Procedure

The procedure is simply to whittle down the wooden plug into a minnow-like shape, then sand the plug body to a smooth finish. Screw in the screw eyes, back them out, fill the holes with super glue then immediately screw them back in. You'll need one screw eye in the head, one in the belly and a tail screw eye. Paint the lure with a color pattern of your choice. The lure assembly should thoroughly dry for at least a day in good sun. You want solvent odors and residue gone completely.

Make big, bug-eyed lures

Attach lure eyes with super glue. Use the largest doll eyes that you can for the lure size. Yes, the bigger, the better. They drive the fish nuts, so you want a big-eyed lure. Attach hooks to belly and tail screw eyes using split rings. Wrap a buck tail on to the tail hook shank using the sewing thread. I like red thread with a white buck tail. Coat the thread with rubber cement to seal it. Use a fine comb to "comb out" the buck tail so it's nice and fluffy. It should be just a bit longer than the hook. I use a moustache comb and small scissors to trim it up just so.

Attaching Terminal Tackle

Clip or tie on your leader or leader material. For strictly salt water use, I always use stainless steel wire leaders which are wrapped or double-looped and hand-tied on. The lure assembly should thoroughly dry for at least a day in good sun. You want solvent odors and residue gone before its baptism in seawater.

The final step is to test your lure by trolling it a moderate speed about thirty yards behind your boat. Just be ready for an explosive strike. Then, as the surface of the water explodes ...
