You can park your motorcycle almost anywhere. However, these two-wheeled beauties are also vulnerable to theft. Since they are small, thieves would rather steal a motorcycle than steal a car. In fact, the rate of motorcycle theft is increasing every single year and just because it hasn't occurred to you yet, it doesn't mean that it would never happen to you. Protect your motorcycle from being stolen and take these precautionary measures to prevent such devastating event from happening.

Motorcyle GPS - The Hottest Motorcycle Accessory On The Planet
by Peter Clark
Do you ride a motorcycle? Get lost sometimes? A Garmin GPS motorcycle navigation system, or perhaps a Tom Tom GPS motorcycle navigation unit, can take the strain out of motorcycle navigation.
But firstly, what is GPS motorcycle navigation, and secondly what can it do for you?
GPS, or Global Positioning System technology, allows a motorbike rider, by the use of multiple satellite signal cross referencing, to pinpoint their exact location on the globe with extraordinary accuracy. This, combined with modern mapping software, means that owners of motorcyle GPS systems can use these technologies to produce the most accurate, easy to use and user friendly navigation system that has ever been available to motorcycle riders, or anyone.
Mount a modern motorcycle GPS system onto your motorbike and you have available a total navigation system. All maps are loaded into the unit, and once you have planned your route and told your GPS where you want it to take you and your bike, your GPS will tell you, both visually and by voice command, exactly how to get there. Modern GPS, such as the Garmin GPS motorcyle system or the Tom Tom Rider GPS units, will plan your route according to predetermined requirements, such as fuel stops, accomodation stops and points of interest. They will show you and tell you every turn you need to make along the way to get there easily.
Like to avoid traffic jams? Modern GPS can also be asked to notify you of real time traffic information. Traffic jam ahead of you? Your motorcycle GPS navigation can let you know and determine the best way around the problem.
And all this can be routed by voice command direct to an earpiece in your helmet via bluetooth technology. No need to take your eyes off the road risking accident by looking at your GPS screen, just allow it to tell you where to go all by itself.
Like to make a hands free phone call along the way? No problem. Perhaps load your motorcycle GPS with a few music files so you can relax and listen on the road? No problem. Want to record your ride for future reference, or to share with your friends? No problem. All this, and lots more, can be done with a modern motorcyle GPS navigator, at a cost of less than $1000. Units such as the Garmin GPS motorcyle navigation systems or the Tomtom GPS units can do all this and lots more.
Garmin GPS navigation systems like the Zumo 450 or it's big brother the Zumo 550 are specifically designed for motorcycle mounting. Vibration resistant and user friendly for easy screen viewing, they have been specifically designed with the motorcyclist in mind.
Or perhaps the Tom Tom Rider GPS navigator. Again, designed specifically for the motorbike rider. Waterproof, sunshield to minimize glare and easy to mount on the handlebars, a Tom Tom will make navigation for your ride a pleasure.
So if you'd like a total navigation solution for a long ride on a cold day, when you don't want to be stopping all the time to consult the map, consider a modern motorcycle GPS like the Garmin GPS motorcycle navigation systems or the Tom Tom Riders. You will never regret it.

Reviews of the Top Motorcycle GPS Mounts
by Derrick Bogaster
After you have bought your motorcycle GPS device it is now time to turn your attention to what type of motorcycle mount you will use to hold your GPS unit safe and secure while you travel. The right motorcycle GPS mount will save you money and time in the long run.
Simply placing the GPS unit into your pocket means that you won't be able to use the device in a safe way without stopping your bike and pulling over. You also want be able to use the device the way it was intended - having it in your pocket limits you to only some of the GPS's best features. Finally, there is also a risk that you will drop or have the device fall out of your pocket.
One of the more inexpensive mounts on the market, is the Gamin Bicycle Mount. The cost will depend on what GPS device you have but typically it ranges from $6 to $30. However, the Garmin Bicycle Mount is for bicycle's and therefore doesn't have vibration resistance. This means that your GPS will be exposed to large amounts of vibrations from your motorcycle, potentially damaging the unit.
Vibrations effecting your motorcycle GPS is no problem with the RAM mount. This motorcycle GPS mount has a vibration absorption ball made from one inch thick rubber. Utilizing a double-sided clamp, it fits easily to your bike's handle bars.
The RAM motorcycle mount costs about $40, with extra rubber balls available for around $10 per ball.
The third option is the TouraTech mount. This is the mount is for those looking for a premium mount and you should expect to pay about $100. The reason for the price is that its has the best vibration absorption that you will find on any mount, making sure your GPS unit is 100% protected.
A Touratech Mount is the best GPS mount that you can use on your motorcycle. All Touratech Mounts are intended to be affixed to a crossbar on your handlebars, but they can be mounted in a number of cool ways.
It definitely and absolutely holds your motorcycle GPS unit in the most secure way possible. This is the mount that enduro racers, professional racers and all the kick-ass racers you can think of use!
Motorcycle GPS units can be purchased at heavily cheap costs in Derrick Bogaster's e-store. You can also find great Motorcycle GPS mounts at wholesale costs including Garmin, TomTom and Touratech mounts. Be sure to check out Bogaster's store
