A ChopperStickers.com customer uses this in his email signature and I asked him if it would be OK if I shared it with you guys. He said no problem, so here it is:
O~`o
To create this keyboard motorcycle just use the following keys:
- The capital letter “O”
- A tilde “~”
- A tick “`” (probably not the proper name for it but whatever)
- Then a lowercase “o”
And this O~`o is what you end up with.
Here is the original signature that was used:
Ride safe!
O~`o
I thought it was pretty neat. Enjoy.

Greetings All Users;
I have set up a dedicated IM (Instant Messaging) Server for exclusive use of the AzCMC and any other confederation’s, bikers rights members, independent bikers, and the like. This service is provided FREE of charge and will be available 24/7 as long as the Qwest lines are not down.
I have searched the web and have found no other type of FREE communication device offered exclusively for Bikers….
The url is http://www.biker-lifestyle.com or http://www.biker-lifestyle.org
1) Signup for an account
2) Download the Spark Client and install it on your system.
3) Login using your username, password that you created to the biker-lifestyle.com Server
It’s that simple if you’d like to give it a try…
Sortly I would hope that we will be the first and only World Wide IM system dedicated to Bikers Exclusively…..
PS… This BLIM system also interfaces and replaces any AIM, Yahoo Chat, and MSM Chat client that you currently use… This means you can also interact with your current IM systems from ours….
—–
Have not really looked into it yet so I am not sure how legit it is. I am not really into IM and I definitely do not dig something that forces you to use their client.
Anyway stop by there and have a look. If it ain’t worth it, stop back in here and let us know.

VIPS (Vehicle Integrated Protection System) Motorcycle Cover Review
The guys over at EmpireCovers.com sent me one of their VIP Motorcycle Covers and asked me to check it out. Now just so you guys know I do not use a cover, I have a garage and besides that my bike hardly sets still long enough to be covered. I know there are a lot of folks out there that either do not have a garage or store their bike over the winter, the VIP cover would be a great product for you folks.
Even though I do not personally use a cover on my bike I would recommend the Empire Covers VIP Motorcycle Cover to anyone looking for a cover to protect or store their bike.
The VIP Motorcycle Cover is designed to protect your bike from moisture, dust, and the sun. The manufacturer states that the cover will fit every mass-produced motorcycle up to 1500cc. It fit my Heritage with 20″ apehangers just fine with room to spare.
The VIP Motorcycle Cover In It’s Storage Bag
The cover is a 2 piece cover that completely covers your bike from top to bottom. The lower cover is made from a heavy rubberized material and the top cover is a heavy duty polyester which is lined to protect your bikes finish.
When folded the VIP motorcycle cover measures about 16″x11″x5″ and weighs approximately 8 lbs.
About the only thing that I can say negative is that the cover did not come with any instructions so it did take me a bit to figure the thing out the first time I used it. After that it did not take anytime to cover my bike.
Since the cover did not come with any instructions I was not sure if you could use the cover on a motorcycle while the engine and exhuast was hot so I a dropped a note to Empire Covers Customer Service and they said that the cover was designed so that it could be installed on a hot bike. Just so you know I did not try this, and I would recommend that you wait for your bike to cool at least some before installing this cover or any cover. Covering a hot engine can lead to condensation inside the cover which kind of defeats the purpose.

A battery tender is a must have for any motorcycle owner. Anytime your bike is going to be stored for an extended period of time, or even if it is just going to sit ideal for a couple of days, having a battery tender connected to keep your battery charge maintained at the proper level will ensure that your bike is ready to go when you are ready to ride.
Maintaining a proper charge on the battery will also help to extend the life of the battery.
Either of these would make a great gift for the biker on your list!
Oh yeah and don’t forget about our Biker Helmet Stickers and Gift Certificates! They make great stocking stuffers!
