  1. Why Traveling by Motorbike is a Great Idea for a Student

    Posted on

    After the end of a grilling semester, students look forward to breaks and holidays. They'll get to dine and wine with loved ones, de-stress in a new destination, visit museums, and more. Exploring the world offers a thrilling chance at adventure, experiencing foreign and native cultures, making new relationships, and many more.  Why Traveling by Motorbike is a Great Idea for a Student

    During school breaks many scholars can't find the time to travel, owing to the overwhelming amount of academic tasks they'll have to complete before resumption. This dilemma leaves British students asking the question "Can I get online help from a professional UK writing service?". The answer is yes you can get experienced assistance from a writing service in the UK, with Edubirdie often being the go-to option for many scholars in such scenarios. Getting this aid gives students the time to explore the world, relax, or accomplish other crucial tasks, while still having a top-notch paper.

    And if you are looking to take a trip soon, then consider travelling by motorcycle. Here's why.

    Experience Nature Unhindered

    Travelling by motorcycle gives you a clear view of nature. You'll get to see and experience the beauty of nature thanks to a magnificent display of landscapes and trees. While travelling down the road, the wind brushes across your face, the sounds of animal life fills the air, and more. Motorbike travel also offers you the chance to stop in a nice spot to appreciate these natural sights and sounds better.

    Perfect for Building Travel Albums

    When using any means of transportation other than a bike, you don't get the chance to take perfect photos. While in a car or bus, your photo sessions are limited, as the vehicle rolls past an object, scenery, or event of interest. Motorbike travel grants you the opportunity to stop at any time on the road and take those perfect shots for your album.

    Feel Free and the Alluring Sense of Adventure There's something about travelling by motorcycle that instills a sense of freedom. It's a common term many bikers used in describing the experience of the road. You'll decide your destination and stop, you can ride through the city, country town, or off track.

    You are on an adventure when you motorbike travel, as it's a trip between you and nature. Your journey's shape is in your hands.

    Learn to Admire the Little Things

    Motorbike travel often gives you the chance to appreciate simplicity. You'll learn to worry less about not having more and be content with the available resources. While on the road, there's little room on your bike, leaving you with the only option of packing the essentials. This situation helps you learn to live as a minimalist.

    Another habit you'll pick up on the road is resourcefulness, as you learn to be more prudent with money. Living minimalistic and being resourceful are both crucial attributes that shape students for success in college.  

    Experience New Cultures and Relationships  

    While travelling by motorcycle, you'll get to explore new places, experience new cultures and build new relationships with the locals. You can easily go off the main roads or tracks on a bike, getting you in closer proximity with locals. This off-road flexibly means you can explore new cities better. You'll also have a higher chance of striking up conversations with locals off the main roads. The ability to communicate and appreciate other cultures are both essential skills a student needs to achieve success after graduation. 

    Final Thoughts  

    The main aim of travelling is to make new memories and experiences. Exploring the world on a motorbike delivers you with the best of the experience. Travelling by motorcycle offers you excitement and a chance to create your adventure story.   

    It provides you with a unique way to experience nature, and pick up essential life skills. British students don't have to worry about an assignment overload getting in the way of their adventure, they can always get help from a top-notch writing service.

    Posted on

    MADMAX Pizza official launch: Tuesday 21 July 2020, for prosecco and pizza at 12 noon
    Mayor of Richmond Cllr Geoff Acton to officially open at 12.30pm
    New adventure for record-breaking motorcyclist Zef Eisenberg
    MADMAX record-breaking jet turbine motorbike will be on display


    Zef Eisenberg has never been one to back down from a challenge. The founder of the MADMAX Race Team currently holds more than 50 British, World, ACU, FIM and Guinness speed records, and is the only person to break the 200mph barrier on sand with both a motorcycle and a car.

    With lockdown having curtailed nearly all forms of racing and testing, he has diverted his energy to his next greatest passion food and in this case PIZZA, but no ordinary pizza, this will be MADMAX Pizza!

    The first MADMAX Pizza restaurant will be hosting a launch event on Tuesday 21 July in Eisenberg’s hometown of Richmond in south-west London. The all-Italian team is supported by local celebrity Italian Chef Stefano Bergamin, creator of BACCO and head pizza chef Valentino (sorry not the Valentino Rossi) –who is a master of the Neapolitan thin-crust style, and who is passionate about delivering the best authentic Italian pizzas, using a traditional family recipe and fresh, home made dough and tomato sauces, made on the premises with the freshest ingredients.

    As you’d expect from the man behind ‘Eisenberg Racing’ – a specialised engineering team that works with the best to develop some of the world’s most extreme and powerful motorbikes and cars – no stone is being left unturned in his quest for the perfect pizza. That ethos covers everything from super, fresh toppings, as well as the creation of an incredible gluten-free pizza base, a feat rarely achieved.

    “We’ve proud of our experienced Italian pizza chef,” said Eisenberg, “and the same passion, quality and excellence will go into our food as goes into our racing and record-breaking. We’re using a real stone and real fire pizza oven, with a goal to make, ‘the best pizzas you’ve ever tasted, and once the model is perfected, we will look to roll out more stores”.

  4. Five Things You Need to Know About Used Bike Registration

    Posted on

    Are you considering buying a used motorbike? If so, you need to know the following five things.

    The Bike Must Be Taxed Before You Can Ride it

    Before you can ride your bike on the road, it must be taxed. To do that, you need the motorcycle’s reference number from the V5C registration certificate. The V5C must be in your name. You will also need to meet all other legal obligations before you are permitted to take your bike on the road. But once the bike is yours, you can spruce it up to suit your personal taste any way that you want. Perhaps you would like a respray, or maybe you would like to make it more personal by adding a private registration plate. 

    The Bike Can Be Registered to You Online

    When the seller of a used motorcycle has a V5C, he or she can register the vehicle to you online or by post. When the seller uses the online registration process, the DVLA will update the vehicle record immediately. The seller must then fill in the new keeper slip and give it to you. The original V5C must be destroyed. The DVLA will then send you a new V5C, in your name, within three to five days.   Five Things You Need to Know About Used Bike Registration - Motorcycle

    The Bike Can Be Registered to You by Post

    If the seller registers by post instead of online, the seller needs to complete section two of a new-style logbook, or section six if they have the older style. He or she, and you must sign the declaration in section eight of an older style logbook too. The seller must fill in the new keeper slip and give it to you, and send the V5C to the DVLA. You will receive a new V5C between two and four weeks thereafter. 

    It Is Possible to Register a Bike without a Valid V5C

    The DVLA advises you not to purchase a motorcycle when the seller does not have a V5C. However, if you do have a bike that does not have a V5C, you need to complete and submit form V62. You can also obtain it from any Post Office branch. Send the completed form to the DVLA with the new keeper slip that you have obtained from the motorcycle’s seller.

    You Need to Check Whether the Bike Is Stolen

    When you buy a used bike, it is not only important to ensure it has a valid V5C registration. It is also essential you check that the details of the bike and the seller match those on the document. Also make sure the engine and frame numbers match, and check the V5C includes a watermark to ensure it is a genuine document. Those checks will prevent you from buying a stolen bike. You can run an online check on the registration plate of a motorbike to discover whether it has been previously written off or stolen, or whether there is outstanding finance on it.
