Customized Motocycles..I love my Bike

Someone ask me to do a blog on motorcycles because they were curios as to how someone can actually 'pimp out' their bike. I was also a little curios and was enthusiastic about doing a blog on bikes. Some would say that bikes are just purely magnificent and they have endless possibilities. What is even more magnificent is that you wont find two bikes that are exactly alike.

What is even more special about it is that you can personalize your bike in any way , with many different colors or design.

Some ways in which you can customize your bike are:
1. Changing the handlebars.
2. Bob the rear fender.
3. Paint the bike by personalizing it.
4. change the seats. It increases comfort and makes long rides more enjoyable.
5. Add highway pegs
6. Change the exhaust.It can add torque and horsepower as well as great sound.
7. Add chrome. This is the most common aftermarket accessory added to motorcycles, any part of your bike can be chromed from front wheel to tail lights.
8. change the Wheels. The wider the better.
9. Lights. There are a variety if light to make your like shine bright like a diamond and stand out at night. Beyond headlights you can also mount lights in engine cases, forks, mirror stems, crash bars, light bars, fairing or more. Just be sure not to mount any light higher than the headlights.

So feel free to design your bike as you choose and make it stand out above the rest.

Alarm, Alarm, Alarm... Car Alarms you should invest in.

Having a flashy car means that you have to upgrade your anti- thief system. I have compiled a list of them just for you. Car alarms have some very useful features like:

Keyless Entry
This can be used to arm and disarm your car as well as unlock your door and release the trunk. It eliminates the need for another key in your pocket and the remote also receive alerts when your car alarm is sound. Most have LCD screens with displays that will tell you exactly what is happening to your car. Some even work with your smart phone so you can receive a text message when your car alarm sounds.

Starter Kill
After your car alarm begins sounding and your remote buzzes, you'll need to take action. Most often an alarm alone wont stop a thief  from stealing your car. With this feature, a simple click of the button can stop your car engine from running until you disarm the alarm.

Full vehicle Sensors
The car security system will detect every single movement and disturbance to your car and alert you of each change. There are even shock sensors installed so you will know if someone is towing your car or attempting to jack it up to steel your rims. It will alert you on any change.

I have installed a Mul-T-lock in my car and its been 4 years. It's one of my greatest investment ever. The Mul-T-Lock is sold at Oscar Francois and offers a broad range of advanced mechanical, electro mechanical and electronic High Security product for cars, trucks and motorcycles. Specially developed for vehicle application and based on 3 decades of experience, these robust systems incorporate Mul-T-Lock's high quality cylinders. Its highly attack- resistant vehicle protection systems  lock the gear lever, steering wheel and /or hood and fit a vast range of vehicle models.

2. Another system is the Alarm System, VIPER is the world's best selling vehicle security and remote start brand. They use precision engineering and cutting edge technology t make sure you are in control. Their Viper systems offer range and systems you can count on every time.

Car Alarm systems can cost you between $600 and $2500 TTD, so my advise is car owners is to invest in a good alarm that will at least have your mind at ease.

Flashy Cars can attract thieves!!! Watch out

 Having a flashy car with nice rims, lambo doors and loud music is all good, it even adds value to your car. But the downside to that is that thieves are on the prowl and the lookout.

I remember there was a time in sweet Trinidad where thieves would be lurking at Trincity mall waiting for those best rides to park and then when the owners come out, their cars were long gone. With rims costing from $5000.00 to $15,000 a set thieves see more than chrome, they only see dollar signs. All the money that you spend to customize your car...Gone.

When you park your vehicle with the flashy rims, crisp paint job and visibly expensive audio, you ar e basically saying to thieves "come take me". One of my colleagues Michael was a victim of car thief, he loved his car, he had at least $15,000 worth of music in it and withing six months, his car was stolen. He believes he was monitored for over a period a time and then when the time was right, the thieves struck.

Changing your rims is one of the most visible things you can do to make a statement on the road and it can also be the worst thing for you. One of the biggest mistakes car owners make is that they done inform the insurance about their newly flashed car so if it is stolen, they are not compensated or covered for the value of their customization.

Check out a car thief in action.

One of the things you must have is an excellent anti thief system, which I will discuss in my next blog.

Be aware of your surroundings while parking and at all times.

Car Shows in T & T

hey all, just wanted to post some videos of car shows in Trinidad. I still don't think I want to spend thousand of dollars on customizing a car, so i will hold back on that.
Anyway here are a few videos of Trini cars on display. I will let the videos do the talking for me.

I will start off with Music...Fellas really like their 'hard pong' yes.

I cant forget my Tobago crew at all. Check out Tobago on display.

Next up, more customize cars.

The most expensive Pimped out cars!!!

Well I may not spend thousands of dollars to customize my car but there's a whole lot of folks who will. Today I will feature some of the coolest and most expensive customized cars.

The winner of this category goes to the 1/8 scale model Lamborghini Aventador that is likely to take in $7.5 million dollars when it is auctioned off. The car is a one-off gold, diamond and platinum encrusted model and contains at least $2.7 million in precious metals and stones. The wheels are cast from solid gold and platinum and the whole car is milled out of 500 kilogram solid block of gold and the seats contain 700 diamonds. Damn!!!

Now to actual cars, introducing the customized Mercedes-Benz SL600, Luxury Crystal Benz, studded with 300,000 Swarovski crystal glass. It was on display at the pavilion at Tokyo Auto Salon in 2009.

My third and choice is the custom-made Bugatti L'Or Blanc porcelain super car for an estimated 2.4 million USD. Inside the vehicle is a porcelain caviar tray. Bugatti's sales chief said that installing porcelain in the world's fastest car was a pretty good idea. The vehicle has a white exterior with royal blue lines and was also fitted with porcelain wheel badges, fuel caps and oil caps.

So while some of us may find it hard to spend a few thousands to customize our cars there are people out there who have no problem spending millions.
Until next time....chao!

Car Customizing Done Woman Style.Ouch!!!

Now after posting all the possible ways you can customize your vehicle like the nice rims, music and paint job, I decided to step away from the original customizing to something different. Customizing woman style!
Ladies, have you ever sat in the front seat of your man's car and put your foot on the dashboard??? What comes next??? He flips out. He doesn't want you to leave empty packets behind, no eating in the car and sometimes he doesn't even want you to drive his car because he is afraid you will scratch it.

Men love cars and we all know that and every woman knows that a man takes care of his car maybe more that he takes care of himself. But for some reason or the other, when a relationship goes sour, women feel compelled to target the one thing that her man cares so much about if he hurts her emotionally, because she knows it will hurt him more than a kick in the balls.

Yep, you guessed correctly, his car.

Most men would say that 're-customizing a man's car because he cheated on you or was cruel to you in some form is an act of malevolent and spiteful wickedness but for some women it's just seeking revenge and settling the score. Ouch!

I spoke to ten women who customized their man's car and I have compiled the ways in which they did it as well as the best instruments to used. Ouch!

Ways to re customize a man's car:
1. spray paint
2. a sharp object eg knife, iron for puncturing tyres and scrathing rims
3. some big stones
4. oil paint (to re do paint job)
5. garden tool eg. pick axe or shovel for denting bonnet

A the saying goes, " Hell Hath No Fury Like A Woman Scorned". Believe that!

Music a.k.a Hard Pound

I am thinking of adding a sound system in my ride above, hmmmm.

I remember when I was in Secondary school, I wouldn't be caught dead in a Maxi that wasn't overloaded or had loud music. I didn't care if it may have ruptured my ear drums. lol

In all car shows, you must find cars that are present just for a 'sound clash' to out do or should I say drown out each other's music. Thousands of dollars is spent on music just to claim the top spot of champion sound system.
Now depending on how good you  want your sound system to be will determine how good your music will sound, so basically you get what you paid for. In order to compete with the best of the best you must fit your car with the following:

A good sound system should include,
A good stereo with enough power to run all the interior speakers
A good set of front speakers or component set
A good set of rear speakers
A good amplifier
A good sub woofer

These owners went all out to ensure their music is on top.

Checj out this video where A DVD PLAYER was placed IN A PARK LIGHT??? LAWDDDDDD!!!. Some people are just very creative.

For the music lovers out there how much do you think I should spend on a sound system???
