Featured business: Aiden's Mobile Detailing -- Mississauga, Ontario
Do you ever wish you had the time to detail your own
motorcycle? Too busy, right? So, you ride or trailer your
bike over to the detailing shop and leave it. You'll have to make
another trip later to pick it up. Not hassle-free, to be sure. Bikers in Mississauga, Ontario are livin' the dream. They have Aiden's Mobile Detailing. The company brings the detailing to you, so your bike never has to leave the driveway. When you deal with Aiden's, you deal directly with owner/operator Doug Ransom. Customers always find that he's a nice guy to deal with and he takes his work very seriously. |
As an added bonus, when Doug finishes a detailing job, he always gives his customer the Aiden's Mobile Detailing custom imprinted Motorcycle Coaster®. Doug shared with us that customers love them! Like and follow Aiden's Mobile Detailing on Facebook. Below are a couple photos of bikes Doug has painstakingly and beautifully detailed. |
Because motorcyclists are passionate about the motorcycling
lifestyle, one fact holds true. They never tire of reading about
motorcycles, motorcycling, events, and motoryclists, any or all of which
have made a difference in their lives. To that end, there is no
shortage of motorcycle-related blogs on the Internet. Here are two
we like that we think may interest our readers. The Vintagent The Vintagent began as a blog in 2006, founded by Paul d’Orléans, and amassed millions of views and nearly 1000 articles in ten years.

Sure, you've heard of Sturgis. You've heard of Americade.
A dozen or so really big bike rallies come immediately to mind when
you're trying to think of rallies you might like to attend some day.
Of course, going to a rally like Sturgis, depending on where you live,
can be an expensive proposition. What you may not know is that
there are literally hundreds (if not thousands) of bike rallies almost
year round all over the United States. Attending some of those
might be within your budget reach, especially if you could discover a
smaller rally that's closer to home. So, where can you find a list
of rallies? There are a few places we found to be helpful, and
share them here. CycleFish.com Everyone is welcome to browse the site and use all of the biker and motorcycle resources free.

In 1968, there were only sixteen #1 singles on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, owing to the fact that most songs spent multiple weeks at the top. Only two songs, "Green Tambourine" by The Lemon Pipers and "Harper Valley P.T.A." by Jeannie C. Riley, spent one week at number one. All other hit singles were on the chart for at least two weeks. "Hey Jude" by The Beatles was at the top the longest in 1968, nine weeks, and it was the second time The Beatles topped the chart that year. Earlier in the year, "Hello Goodbye" was #1 for two weeks. Here's the whole list of #1 songs in 1968 on the Billboard Hot 100, with a link to each at YouTube, in case you want to give them a listen. For some of our readers, this list will bring back a flood of good time memories. Our younger readers may be discovering these songs for the first time. Either way, there are some great tunes here!
