Riding A Motorcycle In The Snow
Riding A Motorcycle In The Snow Winter has now come around and the roads are covered in snow and ice, you may think at this point that you're riding season is over, however this is not necessarily the case. When riding a motorcycle in the snow there are a whole set of new factors that you need to take into account, as your riding style will need to change considerably in order for you to stay upright and arrive at your destination in one piece, without bruising. Of course one option is to leave the motorcycle in the garage and then end up catching a train, bus or cab to work, which is probably the safest option.

Do Motorcycles Have Alternators?
Do Motorcycles Have Alternators? This is a very common question and the answer is pretty straight forward too. The answer is maybe. All modern road motorcycles will have one of two different systems in place in order to charge the battery. If a motorcycle did not have the ability to charge the battery then you would find yourself being required to change the battery over almost every time that you went for a ride, this would get very expensive and tiresome very quickly. The motorcycle will either have a generator/magneto or an alternator, both of which will perform the same function of charging the motorcycle battery while the engine is running. This will ensure that you have battery power the next time that you need to start your motorcycle engine.
