Make your summer road adventure pleasurable by having plenty of passenger and cargo room in your Honda Odyssey.

Fit Everything You Need Into The New Honda FIt

without comments

Russell & Smith Honda dealer Houston has a great array of Used Accord Cpe Houston. To find the Honda Fit just visit your local Houston Honda dealer.

Hatchbacks may seem to be a thing of the past but the 2010 Honda Fit is bringing hatchbacks back in fashion Polished and stylish this vehicle could easily be underestimated for a sedan, but with a lot more space. No other competitor can even come close to the 2010 Honda Fit. At the pull of a lever your entire back seat completely comes down, even the headrests do not need to be taken off. You can create a tall load area in back of the front seats when flipping up the rear seat cushion. Coming in at a colossal 57.3 cubic feet, the cargo accommodations can beat out any hatchback. Never worry about blind spots again, the Honda Fit has a standard telescoping steering wheel for wonderful perceptibility.

The Honda Fit comes in two different trims which are the Base and the Sport trim. The Base trim has air-conditioning, full power accessories, four speaker sound system with CD and MP3 player, auxiliary jack, tilt-telescoping steering wheel and 15-inch steel wheels. The next step up is the Sport trim which adds a driver armrest, upgraded audio system with six speakers and a USB port, rear spoiler, cruise control, map lights, fog lights, lower body extensions and 16-inch alloy wheels. The recommended trim would be the Sport considering the navigation system can only be put into the Sport.

The only small down falls the 2010 Honda Fit has are not having many trim choices and it is semi loud on the highway. If room is an issue for you, this hatchback is calling out your name. No other hatchback can compare with the Honda Fit. The Honda Fit also has the best fuel economy in the line up and is available in automatic. The safety features include full side curtain airbags, front seat side airbags and anti-lock disc breaks. This is the perfect car if you carry around a lot of luggage or just need more space.

Why speak to the Motorcycle Clubs in your area before starting a new MC?

without comments

I want to address a question I have gotten a lot recently. (I am sure it has a lot to do with the hit show Sons of Anarchy) It is from people who want to start new Motorcycle Clubs. They want to know if they should go to the predominate MCs in their area to talk about starting a new MC first. Many have said to me they do not understand the reason why they should go talk to them! Some have even gone as far as to say that if they have to go to the predominate MC in their area and ask permission that just proves that MC is a Criminal Gang! Not sure how they came to that conclusion but they are some very strong words sent over the computer.

I want everyone to remember I am writing this info as a guideline to those who are looking to get into the MC world and individual results may vary. This maybe some new fad to you but to true Motorcycle Club Members this world is everything!

For my answer to this Question I am going to put aside any statements of having to ask permission of the MCs in your area first. I am going to instead ask why would you not speak to the MCs in your area and get their Blessing first before starting a new Motorcycle Club. Many say it’s because they are going to start a different type of Motorcycle Club. They may even be calling themselves something different like a Riding Club or a Motorcycle Association. Are your Members going to ride Motorcycles and have patches on their vests? If the answer is yes, Then again why not go speak to those who have come before you and paved the roads you now wish to ride down!

For many I know the reason they don’t want to ask is simple fear! Fear of what they do not know or what they think they do know. If it is fear, then it is because you do not know the real Motorcycle Club world! Now every Motorcycle Club in the world is different. But most Motorcycle Clubs don’t mind helping to get a new MC started and teach them what it really means to be in a Motorcycle Club, I can guarantee you it is something you will not learn on TV no matter how many episodes you may watch!

Now if you have decided that what you really want is to start up a new Motorcycle Club, One thing I want to make sure you know is something every Father should have taught his Son as a Child and that is “Do not lie and Always do what you say you are going to do” One fact I will also give you is the MC world is all about Respect! If you just start up a new MC without talking to the other clubs in your area that will most likely be seen as disrespectful!

Let’s think about some other reasons you would want to talk to the MCs in your area first. You are going to want to make sure your new Patch or MC name is not similar to another Motorcycle Club. Many MCs have worked hard over the years to create a name and image for themselves. They will not like the idea of you either using a name close to theirs or wearing a patch that looks like theirs. The reason being is a simple one, They do not want you being mistaken for them doing anything that would make them look bad. You also could be seen as trying to ride on their coat tails by using the reputation they have worked hard for. You may not understand it now but the MC world is a Brotherhood and if you are fortunate enough to be welcomed into it, You will understand after years of working hard creating a name for your MC. The bottom line is meeting with the MCs in your area and talking with them before starting a new MC is the right thing to do!

Another fear many have is they wrongly believe they will be forced to do things for these other MC’s. The only thing most Clubs may ask of you is to come to a few of their events each year have fun and again to show Respect!!!

Now I have heard complaints from many that there are areas where the MCs have decided they do not want any more new MCs! Well all I can do is guess why that might be! The reason I would think that Motorcycle Clubs would say no more Clubs in an area is that there are already a lot of different MCs in that area and they all get along real well. These MCs would not want anything new coming in and messing up the harmony they have created.

Now like I said before the reason most say they want to start a new MC is because they want to start something different then what is in that area. Well often that is not the truth. The real reason People usually want to start a new MC is because they do not want to have to Prospect! If the only reason you want to start a new MC is because you are not willing to prospect, My best advice to you is to stay an independent rider because you will not last long in the Motorcycle Club world anyway!

Selling A Used Chevrolet Jacksonville.

without comments

Searching for Used Chrysler Jacksonville these days can be a bit enjoyable for most people, particularly if you recently have moved to a big city where a search for a Used Chevrolet in Jacksonville returns hundreds of car dealers. Riding long distances to Jacksonville seems to be the norm today when it comes to saving money on any new or used vehicle today. locating your new or used car you have been looking for can be great fun doing it online for a couple of reasons, one being the pleasure of sitting in your livingroom and enjoying the internet. With gas prices at an all time this makes perfect sense to any wise car buyer out there to stay inside and shop online. The internet has become an awesome device to get your product out there as well as making it easier for the buyer to find a certain something or even someone.
Having to go from a high car loan and back into a used car that is much more affordable in order to save a dollar these days is what many of us had to do when wondering how to maintain our childrens future. Even small car business owners are having to stop heavy spending in every direction they can, even if it means down sizing half of their work force and buying cheaper cars just to keep the doors open.
This is not particularly what I had in mind two years ago when making money seemed to come natural in this thriving market we had become accustomed to. Producing great new ways to make a dollar in todays economy has not become an easy task. The used car buisiness happens to be a great way to build your income in this economy. Pulling your pants up and finding more honest and genious ways to make money in the used car buisness is about the only way I can think of.

Saving Gas What You Need To Know

without comments

Having your tire pressures checked is a brilliant idea on how to save gas when you drive. You don’t have to do it every day, but once a week is good enough, provided the tires are in good working condition, you will not be wasting money doing it. At least, you certainly aren’t spending as much inflating the tires are you would on gas when you have to refill do often.

I hear there are electric cars out in the market already. I personally read an extract last year in which Honda committed to flooding the market with this great new product. Great. As yet they may be too expensive for the likes of you and I to purchase, but not for too long. Get one when the time and tide are right, and save yourself the cost of gas from now till whenever.

Every part of your automobile engine is important. Any fault will force other parts to compensate, leading to burning more fuel. To save gas, you ought to keep a lid on that always.

You might want to avoid taking your vehicle over rough terrain. The rougher the terrain, the harder the vehicle engine has to work to be able to get over it, and thus, the more unnecessary gas is burnt. If it is not built for it, you’ll especially not much like the amount of gas you’ll be burning that way. Use if for what it is built for.

If you are not actually using them, lose whatever extra pounds your car may be packing. You could have some stuff in the trunk that you really do not use, and you could be carrying things on the roof of the car that need not be there. All that extra load is burning gas in a way you don’t want. You can do better without them.

NY Bar Brawl

without comments

It was a quite day in a small Bar in upstate New York . The girl working behind the bar was young, she had just turned twenty one and had only been bar tending a few weeks, this was her first time working alone. Everything was going fine with only two of the regulars in the back shooting pool it was nothing she could not handle she thought to herself.

Then the front door opened and in walked ten of the biggest men she had ever seen. They talked loudly and as they walked over to the far side of the bar, She got a look at the back of their jackets. She could easily see that the markings on them where all the same. The men ordered pitchers of beer and their talking only got louder as they drank more and talked about things she did not understand. Then the men went quite as the front door opened and in walked seven more large men, at first she thought these seven men where with the first Ten as they looked and dressed similar but as she looked at the markings on the backs of these new comers Jackets she could tell while they where similar the markings where different, By the way the two groups where looking at each other she guessed the difference must mean a lot to them.

The Seven men sat up toward the front of the bar and also ordered pitchers of beer. The young girl did her best to make sure both groups where kept happy, but it was just a matter of time and Beer! When one of the men from the first group called out to her, “Hey Honey don’t worry about those guys, there losers! Come over here and hang with some real men.” That was all it took, the fuse was lit. “Who you calling losers pal we are good enough to beat you any day of the week!” Yelled back a guy from the second group. “You may think your as good as us but you never will be!” Yelled back a man from the first group.

Then in what was a blur to our young barmaid a fight broke out between the two groups it was loud and she could hear glass and wood breaking all around her as the men cursed and screamed at each other. This young Girl was scared and she feared for her life.

Her fear abated a little when in the distance she heard sirens. The police are coming, she thought to herself as she hid behind the bar. The police arrived in force and they stormed in arresting the men and taking them away. When things got quite and all the men where taken away the young girl looked around the small bar. So much damage she thought to herself, She looked at one of the officers and asked how did you know to come here. We got a call that these two groups where both heading to this bar and we just knew, it happens all the time with these type of guys!!!

Epilogue: The next morning when the young barmaid awoke she walked down stairs to the kitchen where her father was reading the morning paper. Does it say anything about the fight in the bar yesterday she asked her father? Yes he said as he pointed to a small article in the back of the paper “Yankees and Mets fans Brawl it out in small town bar” the story went on to explain how all the men where given tickets for disorderly conduct and released. That’s it she screamed at her father these men trash the bar, scare the hell out of me, They should all be in jail and all they get is Tickets!!! Calm down sweetheart her father said as he hugged her, The way your acting one would think it had been a bunch of rowdy Bikers in the bar yesterday! Those Guys would have been locked away, But it was only Sports fans!

Jugs And Strokers Tearing The Motorcycle World Apart

without comments

A few weeks back I received an email from a girl Kim about a Charity Motorcycle event she was working on for Bide A Wee an Animal shelter I worked at when I was younger. As I read the info I was looking forward to attending the event only to find it was being held at Jugs and Strokers the only “Biker Bar” on Long Island that does not allow Motorcycle Club Colors. I was pissed to find out I would not be welcome at this event. I then saw the email had been sent out to many other Motorcycle Clubs on Long Island. Pissed Off, I started writing a reply to the email and sent it out to the MC’s here on Long Island. Here is what I wrote.

Hey everyone this is LJ James.

You may not know this but I worked at Bide A Wee in Wantagh for many years. I have some great memories of my time working there. As much as I love the place and think Bide A Wee to be a truly great organization, I will not take off my Colors to go inside Jugs & Strokers to attend this event.

I see this email is addressed to many different Clubs. Some of your beliefs may be different then mine and you may take your Colors off to attend this event. I would hope all of you have more respect for your Club then to do that, but these are my beliefs and may not be yours.

I think it is only fair to Kim who is working very hard for this very worthy cause that she know what your feelings are about the Jugs and Strokers policy in regards to Colors. Kim has spent a lot of time working on this event and I would hate to see her event fail because she is unaware of the Revulsion Jugs and Strokers has towards Motorcycle Clubs!!!

Not only is it an old out dated Policy that promotes the Division of Motorcycle Riders, it is also illegal according to NY State Law! I have been working hard to protect and promote Motorcycle Rights and Unity here in NY and world wide. I think it is time We started working hard to change what is wrong here on Long Island! There is an old saying, “if you want to fix the world start in your own back yard”.

This is an event that, when I heard about it I wanted to attend. Then I hear it is being held at Jugs and now I am “not allowed to attend”.

I am not a bad guy! You all out there know me. How many of your events have I covered in Magazines? How many of you have I DJed for? Not only your Club events but many of your personal family events! I’ve even preformed wedding ceremonies for a few of you and after I married you I Djed your wedding!!!

You too are also all good people. Your MCs have done many things to make Long Island a better place. You have fed the Hungry, Clothed the poor, and made sure every Child on Long Island had a Toy for the Holidays. Our patches stand for what is great about America! Why should we be made to feel that wearing our Colors is even the slightest bit wrong?

If you ask Jugs and Strokers, they might try to use the excuse “well its not your group its other groups who are the bad guys”. That is a cop out, a lie, and an attempt to divide the Long Island Motorcycle Club world!!!

Over the past few years here on Long Island we have seen a Unity in the Motorcycle Club World that many still can not believe. Sport Bike Clubs and Cruiser Clubs riding and hanging together. AMA Clubs and 1% Clubs attend each others events. Law Enforcement Clubs and Outlaw Clubs Breaking Bread and Drinking together at events. I have seen every type of rider hanging out together. This is the Biker dream people!!!

There was a time when we were all told that you could not have a bar on Long Island where all MCs where aloud to mingle together. That there would be nothing but fights and problems. Then JDs Place opened and shortly after that, the Myth was put to rest.

The Motorcycle World here on Long Island has become something We are all very proud of. I call out to all of you MCs, independents, and MROs like ABATE, it is time to end the humiliating practice that Jugs and Strokers has been aloud to inflict upon the Long Island Motorcycle World for far too long!!!

I am tired of this bar being allowed to claim it is a biker bar for bikers, but if your a member of a Motorcycle Club and wear your Colors, you are some how an undesirable, and unwelcome. I say time is up, Jugs and Stokers! You have made enough money off the Long Island Motorcycle world! You need to stop being part of the Problem and become part of the Solution!!!

I’m interested to know what the feelings are of the rest of you!!!

(Because of this reply, Shortly after I wrote this the event was switched to another Long Island Biker Bar “Sick Moon Saloon” That welcomes all who Ride)

Discrimination On The Basis Of Clothing Or Club Membership Is ILLEGAL Article I, Section 11 of the New York State Constitution states “that no person shall be denied the equal protection of the laws of this state or any subdivision thereof.” Article 4, Section 40 of the Civil Rights Law provides that “all persons within the jurisdiction of this state shall be entitled to the full and equal accommodations, advantages, facilities and privileges of any places of public accommodations, resort or amusement subject only to the conditions and limitations established by law and applicable alike to all persons.” The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that individuals have the constitutional right under the First Amendment to wear clothing which displays writing or designs. Cohen v. California, 403 US 15 (1971). In addition, the right of an individual to freedom of association has long been recognized and protected by the United States Supreme Court. Thus, a person’s right to wear the clothing of his choice, as well as his right to belong to any club or organization his choice is constitutionally protected, and persons or establishments who discriminate on the basis of clothing or club membership are subject to a lawsuit.

How Honda became Number One with Car Buyers in Pakistan

without comments

Hondas appearance on the Pakistani car market caused considerable excitement about thirty odd years ago. People looked whenever a Honda drove by on the streets and car buyers couldnt wait to drive their own Civic or Accord, even if it did mean spending a bit more. While models by other car manufacturers offered standard, frugal features and plain shapes, Honda offered more trims, luxury, and world-class designs repeatedly.

Long before Honda arrived on the car scene in Pakistan, Toyota had introduced several well-established and highly popular models in the automotive industry. Brands like Corona, Corolla, Crown and Mark II were leaders in their own class with other manufacturers like Mazda, Suzuki and Nissan had only a few models serving as poor competition. Toyota had an image of being a highly dependable car that could be resold for high prices in the used car market. Consumers favored Toyota for its practical value and a poor choice of similar cars.

Companies and car buyers saw Honda as an opportunity to possess both luxury and reliability. Hondas models had additional features and trims like a power steering and lamps, which other competing car manufacturers did not offer at the time. Out of the blue Honda had a significant presence on the urban roads and highways in Pakistan and became a widely acknowledged and sought after vehicle. Toyota faced a decline in sales, but managed to retain a substantial portion of the market unlike the other less fortunate manufacturers who were fighting to stay afloat.

The exquisitely designed exterior and interior of the Honda were difficult qualities for other car manufacturers to compete with, permitting Honda to stay ahead. With a spacious and comfortable interior and fabric seats, intra and inter city traveling became more enjoyable than before. Honda introduced the City in Pakistan to compete effectively in the 1300cc engine capacity market, and once more managed to gain market share from its well established rival, the Corolla. Seeing its success, Honda soon started production of its cars in Pakistan, to better manage its price competitiveness.

Honda earned a reputation of a reliable and fuel-efficient car due to its meticulous and high standard engineering. The beautifully fabricated engines provided users with a feeling of driving a larger, more powerful car, adding further value to their experience. Due to the minimal maintenance and its reliability, the demand for used Honda shot up and drove the resale prices closer to those commanded by Toyota. Unlike competing cars, which depreciated considerably in value, Honda was now being resold at higher than average prices.

Honda has quickly developed a remarkable reputation for fuel efficiency, dependability and a dramatic look and feel. With an impressive track record, it seems like Honda will be leading the new and used automotive industry for a considerable period of time, in spite of efforts by competitors to launch a range of new models. Well done.

A lost Sense of Freedom

without comments

Whenever a person or group of people try to live their lives free, those who are stuck in unhappy lives will be jealous. Some people have a hard time letting go, freeing themselves from the day to day trials and tribulations of everyday life even for a little while. Others seek an escape from the stress and anxiety often associated with modern day life. I guess for me, that’s part of why I am a Biker. There is something about riding a bike that inspires a sense of freedom in me. The open road, the wind in my face, the smells, getting back to nature, the power of my bike. It’s all these things and more that make me feel free. It’s unfortunate that there are some people who, for whatever reason, can’t find something or someway to let go and experience the sense of freedom that we do. These people, for whatever reason, are the ones who point to us and call us rogues or rebels. They say that what we are doing is wrong and that our culture is a “disruptive influence.”

As Bikers, we live our lives a little differently. We work and have responsibilities, but we still know the feeling of freedom. Maybe its because we smile just a bit more and are a bit more relaxed that turns these people green with envy? A person who works hard and has no free time sees a person on the road riding his or her motorcycle and thinks “I wish that was me!” The thought of being free doesn’t leave their mind. They long for it. They crave it badly! How many of you out their have had a friend tell you how they have always wanted to buy a Motorcycle and just go out riding? How many of them ever actually do?

Here is a typical story : A man is driving home from work when he see’s a group of motorcycle riders pull up next to him. He looks at this group of people riding together having a great time, He starts to think, “I wish that was me”. He then decides, “I’m going to buy a Motorcycle!” He starts thinking about riding. How great it will be to have his wife on the back of his bike and the wind in his face. We could ride up to the lake or maybe that little motel way up in the Mountains. Thinking of the great times he will have he starts to feel that small sense of freedom. He thinks “This must be what those Biker get to feel, Wow!” He turns into the driveway, parks his truck and rushes into the house to tell his wife about his fantastic idea. “Hi honey, I’m going to buy a Motorcycle.” His wife looks at him and says “What? Did you get overwhelmed by the fumes at work again?” “You can’t ride a Motorcycle. The man answers back, “I’ll learn!”

“You must be crazy”, she says. “Those things are death traps! You will kill yourself and we can’t afford it!” “Honey this is something I really want” replies the man. “NO NO NO!!! I won’t have one of those things in my house! What kind of message would it send to the kids, our neighbors?” They argue about it, but it the end, the man never gets his motorcycle. He never goes to the lake with his wife or takes that trip up to the little motel in the mountains. He never feels the real sense of freedom one can only get when taking a long trip on a motorcycle. He spends the rest of his life wishing he had never seen that group of Motorcycles. He is angry and bitter.

Now when he see’s Bikers he puts them down. He hates Bikers, not because of who or what they are, but because of what he can never be. He hates them because of what they represent. They represent a kind of freedom, sense of belonging, a oneness with nature and the world that he longs for, he craves, but can never have. We live here in America, the home of the free, but many are not free. They have never experienced the sense of freedom that can only be experienced on two wheels and, for whatever reason, never will. They live boring, uneventful. “safe” lives and complain about those who don’t.

Don’t hate these envious people, pity them for they will never know the sense of freedom and brotherhood we get from riding with a group of our Bro’s. They’ll never know the wind in their face, the feeling of peace and oneness with nature we feel as we ride threw the country side or down a long lonely highway. They’ll never know the clarity of mind that comes from a long ride alone or the closeness and bond of a long ride or weekend away with someone special. Just thank your higher power that you’ve found a way to escape, a way to be free, even if it’s just on the weekends.

Ride Safe and Ride Free because when it all come down to it, this is all about the Ride! Your Bro L.J. James AmericanBikerX.com Listen to LJs Radio Show at BikerLowDown.com

The Value Of Honda Automobiles

without comments

Honda Automobiles Video

Believe it or not, but Honda makes some of the best cars in the world.  That explains the popularity of Honda automobiles.  These autos are made to some of the highest standards of any cars.  That’s even compared to more expensive cars in the same class.  When a person buys a Honda automobile, they’re buying quality and reliability.

The Honda Civic is an excellent vehicle.  This model comes in highly popular sedan, coupe and even hybrid versions.  The Civic ranges in price from around $15K to the mid 20’s.  This car is also one of the best when it comes to gas mileage.  36 MPG highway for the coupe and sedan is only surpassed by the hybrids 46 MPG.  Both will save money at the pump, but keep in mind that the hybrid mileage is offset by the extra cost and the cost of a replacement battery likely needed after 3-5 years.

Honda Civic retains its value.  It’s also a pleasant surprise when the offer comes for a trade in.  For someone who follows the maintenance schedule, it’s realistic to spend only a few thousands dollars every few years for a new Civic.  For people who like driving new cars all the time, that’s a great deal.

Often, folks aren’t looking to sell.  Retained value comes from the fact that the cars hold up well over time.  Maintenance is the key.  The Civic can run for 20 or more years if it’s well cared for.  That’s a long time for a well running car.  It becomes a part of the family.  And there are a lot of other things to do with money other than buying or repairing vehicles.

Another nice Honda car is the Element.  The compact SUV is a great value.  Adventurous people find this car a perfect fit.  Most of the interior is rubber, along with cloth seats and a plastic dash.  This isn’t just done to save costs.  It was done so the car is easy to clean.  You can hose down the interior when it’s dirty.  Your eyes aren’t deceiving you, yes a hose  Leather may seem nice until the car is actually put to use.
