When assessing the various branches of law enforcement, it is evident police motorcycles are an integral part of maintaining and enforcing traffic safety. Motorcycle patrols can be more common in some areas of the nation than in others. This fluctuation has a great deal to do with weather and road conditions in any given city or county. Where it's cold, you have less motorcycle patrols. Typically, motorcycle patrols frequent highways or busy thoroughfares as their nimbleness and speed are well-suited to navigating the gridlock.

Motorcycles have been used in law enforcement since the early 1900s. They were used to uphold traffic laws and as escort vehicles for government dignitaries. Over the years, assorted police departments and state troopers exclusively used Harley-Davidson models. In recent history, however, police have opted to use motorcycles from such companies as Kawasaki, Honda and BMW. Despite their rich history, motorcycle patrolmen would only be folded into the popular culture by means of a television show.

The television series, known as "ChiPs," was on-air from 1977 to 1983. The popular show followed the brave officers of the California Highway Patrol. This light action-drama starred Erik Estrada and Larry Wilcox. Although most motorcycle patrolmen are rarely paired off, the series asserted Erik Estrada's character, Officer Francis (Ponch) Poncherello, was so unmanageable he needed the guidance of a more level-headed officer, Larry Wilcox's Officer Jon Baker, to keep him from getting into trouble.

A typical "ChiPs" episode used a profitable combination of light comedy and melodrama. While on regular patrols, the dynamic duo would invariably get mixed up in a new crisis -- just another day for Ponch and Jon. One of the many topics of the series was Ponch's role as a Cassanova. Before he could court the love of his life, the typical episode would involve over-the-top stunts and crash scenes. With the debris cleaned up after a quick commercial break, the show always wrapped with a lighthearted sub-plot.

Though a far cry from the genuine danger motorcycle law enforcement officers encounter, the show was a tremendous public relations success. Accidents involving motorcycles are always more gruesome than accidents involving automobiles, a fact seldom portrayed on television. Life is seldom wrapped up with a still of laughing patrolmen and a catchy soundtrack. If you are unsure about a legal situation you may be involved in as a result of a motorcycle accident, seek out qualified representation.

Though car drivers may balk, there are some real benefits to motorcycling. First off, the driver remains connected to his environment. The continuous need to stay composed requires a motorcyclist be alert at all times. His or her margin for error is very narrow and there is a life-and-death need to be present. This is often portrayed as a kind of meditative state at 60 miles an hour.

This idyllic state would be far more attractive if there were no one else on the road. Cars, trucks, pedestrians, and even other motorcycles, have to be taken into consideration. Most traffic fatalities involve motorcyclists. The factors behind these deaths can be attributed to two main factors. The first is the visibility of the motorcyclist. Often they are not noticed and suffer from blind lane changes. The second is a loss of balance, which chiefly occurs during turns.

There are some steps motorcyclists can take to minimize their chances of injury or accidents. Since visibility is a key concern, motorcycles must be visible to other motorists. This can be as simple as keeping the headlight on at all times or even flying an iridescent flag or streamer. Averting injuries boils down to having a full set of personal protective equipment. First and foremost, among the assorted pieces of equipment, is a helmet. Its benefits are self-evident. Leather or Kevlar-reinforced gloves, jackets, and pants are all critical for preventing injury. It is rarely the fall from the motorcycle that causes injury, rather it is the asphalt itself. Additionally, a pair of sturdy boots will help prevent damage to the feet and ankles.

Other than equipment and superior visibility, it is recommended that all motorcyclists attend a driving course with the Motorcycle Safety Foundation. Understanding the concept of counter steering is crucial to preventing a loss of control. The main culprit in turning accidents is a lack of understanding of basic physics. Essentially, the concept of counter steering demands leaning the motorcycle away from the turn direct to shift the pivot point out from under the center of the cycle's mass. This requires turning away from the direction you want to turn in. Without proper instruction, this can be very counter-intuitive to green riders.

These safety measures are intended to help you stay safe and enjoy your ride. If speed is a key factor to your enjoyment, be sure to have your motorcycle regularly inspected. It is possible many components could loosen over time and mainly at high rates of speed. Proper servicing should be a constant concern. Moreover, make sure your motorcycle license is up-to-date. Protect yourself physically and legally from any unforeseen motorcycle accident.

Historically however, the worst storms form in August through October. One needs to look back to the volatile 2004 and 2005 seasons when seven (7) storms crashed upon the U.S. coastlines killing scores of people and causing billions of dollars in property damages.

Policy owners in effected coastal and hurricane zone areas have seen rate increases year after year to pay for past losses and payouts for property damages.

Take photos and make a list of your personal property - A photograph is worth a thousand words. Take as many photos as possible of your personal items, and your home to assure that the insurance company can see the state of your home prior to the storm.

Maintain trees and shrubbery and other outside objects in a safe location - trees and shrubbery branches often become trajectories during a storm, and uprooted trees can actually impale both your home and that of neighbors.

Take photos immediately after the storm of damages - Again, a photograph or even a short video is worth a thousand words.

Keep your important documents in a safe place - Make sure you have birth certificates, auto titles, deeds, financial documents, and any other important documents. A small lock box, or hand held file carrier can be transported easily and is a safe way to transport documents with you if you are required to evacuate your home.
