Need some Help Managing your Money?

  Look it’s safe to say most of us have been living above our means, you know spending money we don’t actually have…  Pretty much everyone we talk to has been in this situation at least once, debt. It’s no fun, it adds stress to your life, puts strains on relationships and just simply SUCKS.  
 Most of us have tried to create a budget to help us with our spending and identifying ways we can save money, most of us have failed at that.  It’s not an easy thing to do.  
 We recently came across the website mint.com,  a website that helps you manage your money and it’s FREE.   In 5 minutes or less you’ll see where your spending money, understand how your investments are performing and set up realistic budgets. With easy to understand graphs this website can help set you on the right track to financial stability, which will equal less stress!   

Kick the Season off with a Fresh Oil Change

Seems the weather is finally allowing us to get the bikes out of storage and fire ’em up.  If you didn’t do an oil change before storing your bike for the winter, now is a great time to get some fresh fluids in.  We got a few minutes in with Rollin Karoll of Spectro Oils to find out about “batch blending” and what sets Spectro apart from all the other brands.

Proper Form Shoulder Exercise

You might as well just skip working out if your not doing it with proper form. You will risk injury and be wasting your time if you don’t work-out the correct way. Rich Bready shows us the proper form needed to do a shoulder exercise, because soon enough we’ll be sportin’ those tank tops and wanting to look and feel our best!

Flat Bastard?

 Hey, gotta ride with a flat finish to it? Sick of those nasty greasy finger prints all over your finish that you can’t get rid off because you can’t use any of the normal cleaning products on it? 
  Guess what Wizards has you covered…   Thats right, finally a product you can use much like a quick detailer on your flat surfaces. 
WIPE DOWN™, is a matte finish spray detailer formulated to clean all matte paint finishes including suede, denim, satin primer and all flat or matte clears. Now you can easily detail your bike, car, or street rod, quickly to remove dust, fingerprints, road grime and oily residues without adding a gloss. WIPE DOWN™ is safe for use on all paints without streaking and is silicone and wax free.
 About time huh?  The best part about Wipe Down is it’s not a gloss enhancer and does not provide additional filling qualities, it is also used and recommended for removing dust and residue after compounding or buffing high gloss clears. This allows better inspection between steps eliminating “missed areas” when buffing. It also reduces the chances of bringing more abrasive residues into the finishing step.
 
you guys can get Wipe Down  in a 22 oz. sprayer bottle or gallon refill.
 
For more information about WIPE DOWN™ or any other Wizards products, please visit www.WizardsProducts.com or call 800-356-7223.
 

MISTY wants someone to love

Misty is playful and athletic like most collies are. She enjoys interacting with toys, playing fetch, and could be a potential playmate for another dog in your household. She enjoys affection and doesn’t mind being handled. Being a pure collie, Misty needs regular exercise and would not benefit from staying inside all day. If you want a medium sized dog with a tempered personality and athletic streak, Misty is the one for you! If your interested please visit Animal Friends to inquire about Misty….

Protect Yourself

“Lil D” from Razorback Customs shared with us some interesting things your burglar won’t tell you…  Be proactive in protecting yourself and your family! 
 1. Of course I look familiar. I was here just last week cleaning your carpets, painting your shutters, or delivering your new refrigerator
  2. Hey, thanks for letting me use the bathroom when I was working in your yard last week,  While I was in there, I unlatched the back window to make my return a little easier. 
                        
 3. Love those flowers. That tells me you have taste … and taste means there are nice things inside. Those yard toys your kids leave out always make me wonder what type of gaming system they have.
4. Yes, I really do look for newspapers piled up on the driveway. And I might leave a pizza flyer in your front door to see how long it takes you to remove it.                                   
5. If it snows while you’re out of town, get a neighbor to create car and foot tracks into the house. Virgin drifts in the driveway are a
dead giveaway. 
 
6. If decorative glass is part of your front entrance, don’t let your alarm company install the control pad where I can see if it’s set. That makes it too easy.
7. A good security company alarms the window over the sink. And the windows on the second floor, which often access the master bedroom-and your jewelry. It’s not a bad idea to put motion detectors up there too.
8. It’s raining, you’re fumbling with your umbrella, and you forget to lock your door-understandable. But understand this: I don’t take a day off because of bad weather.    
 9. I always knock first. If you answer, I’ll ask for directions somewhere or offer to clean your gutters. (Don’t take me up on it.)
 10. Do you really think I won’t look in your sock drawer? I always check dresser drawers, the bedside table, and the medicine cabinet.
11. Helpful hint:I almost never go into kids’ rooms.
12. You’re right:I won’t have enough time to break into that safe where you keep your valuables. But if it’s not bolted down, I’ll take it with me.
13. A loud TV or radio can be a better deterrent than the best alarm system.  If you’re reluctant to leave your TV on while you’re out of town, you can buy a $35 device that works on a timer and simulates the flickering glow of a real television. 
14. Sometimes, I carry a clipboard. Sometimes, I dress like a lawn guy and carry a rake. I do my best to never, ever look like a crook.
 15. The two things I hate most: loud dogs and nosy neighbors.  
16. I’ll break a window to get in, even if it makes a little noise. If your neighbor hears one loud sound, he’ll stop what he’s doing and wait to hear it again. If he doesn’t hear it again, he’ll just go back to what he was doing.  
17. I’m not complaining, but why would you pay all that money for a fancy alarm system and leave your house without setting it?
18. I love looking in your windows. I’m looking for signs that you’re home, and for flat screen TVs or gaming systems I’d like. I’ll drive or walk through your neighborhood at night, before you close the blinds, just to pick my targets.      
                               
19. Avoid announcing your vacation on your Facebook page. It’s easier than you think to look up your address.
20. To you,leaving that window open just a crack during the day is a way to let in a little fresh air. To me, it’s an invitation.
   
 21. If you don’t answer when I knock, I try the door. Occasionally, I hit the jackpot and walk right in.

 PROTECTION FOR YOU AND YOUR HOME _                                   
 If you don’t have a gun, here’s a more humane way to wreck someone’s evil
plans for you. 
                                            
Wasp Spray
 wasp spray, can shoot up to twenty feet away and is a lot more accurate, while with  pepper spray, the attacker has to get too close to you and could overpower you.  The wasp spray temporarily blinds an attacker until they get to the hospital for an antidote. it inexpensive, easy to find, and more effective than mace or pepper spray.  The cans typically shoot 20 to 30 feet; so if someone tries to break into your home, spray the culprit in the eyes.  
OK update to the comment of using Wasp Spray, David shared some info with us and please check this link out. www.sabrered.com
