  1. 10 Amazing Ways to Plan a Motorbike Trip with Your Girlfriend

    Posted on

    Spending time with your girlfriend is always the best feeling. It's even more fun when you try out new things together. If you want to do something out of the box to spice up your relationship, you are at the right place.

    Well, going on a trip with your girl is pretty usual. Almost all couples plan trips every now and then. But what about planning a motorbike trip with your girlfriend? Sound adventurous, right? What could be better than exploring the world on a motorbike with the person you love? And if you are a biker, it's the perfect thing to try.

    However, you need to plan your trip carefully to make it memorable for your girlfriend. Don't spoil her mood with your bad planning skills. Read this article till the end if you want to impress your girlfriend and do something unique. In this article, we will discuss some useful ways to have the best motorbike trip with your girlfriend. So, let's start

    • Decide a Place: The first thing you need to do is figure out the place you want to explore. Talk with your girlfriend and decide on a place mutually. There are some important things that you need to keep in mind while selecting a place.

      Since you will be reaching your destination on a bike, ensure that the place is not very far away. Preferably, a place where you can reach in 5-6 hours of the bike ride is the ideal.
    • Decide a Time: Decide a suitable time to start your journey. Choose a time when there is less traffic on the roads. Otherwise, bike riding won't be much enjoyable. Also, you shouldn't set out on your trip at night because of safety purposes. Make sure you start your trip at dawn. It is the perfect time for a motorbike trip as you will not face much traffic during this time.

    • Take Breaks: To make your trip more happening and romantic, take breaks in-between for sightseeing. Also, riding straight for 5 or 6 hours will make you feel exhausted. Therefore, it's advisable to take breaks during your journey to chill and relax with your girlfriend. You can have some snacks, coffee, or tea, explore the nearby areas, and talk before you start again.

    • Go Prepared: You should be prepared in advance for wheel punctures and other damage that can occur to your bike. You never know whether you will get a mechanic or not. So, always carry a compact bike repair kit with you so that you can fix your bike yourself.

    • Let Your Girl Ride: What's better than having a girlfriend who can ride a bike? If your girl knows how to ride a motorbike, let her take the turn. Sit at the back and hug her tight as she sets out for the rest of the journey. That's the perk of having an athletic girlfriend who can ride a Motorcycle.

    • Take a Relaxing Shower: Motorbike trips are undoubtedly fun, but they can be tiring. However, you can turn your fatigue into romance by taking a warm and relaxing bath with your girlfriend after reaching your destination. It will take away your tiredness and make you feel fresh. It will also improve your bond with your girlfriend.

    • Eat Properly: You both must be hungry by the time you reach your destination. Have a proper meal together so that you are all set to travel more. It's best to sit comfortably in your hotel room and order your food in the room itself. You need to relax after riding a bike for so long. So take proper rest and eat well. Try having drinks together, watching movies, and having quality time.

    • Cuddle: Cuddling is the best feeling in the world. It's relaxing and romantic at the same time. You can cuddle with your girlfriend in bed and make her feel special. It’s definitely needed after a long motorbike ride.

    • Don't Ride After Sunset: After spending time together, you might think of riding back to your home. However, avoid going back after sunset. Riding a bike after sunset is not at all recommended. You should wait for the next day. Instead, spend the night with your girlfriend in your hotel room. You can use this time to bond or simply relax by watching a movie and ordering some snacks.

    • Take Proper Sleep: Remember, you have to ride back so, it's important that you feel well-rested and ready to start your trip back. Make sure to get enough sleep to feel energetic. 

    To make it more romantic and special for your girlfriend, you can ask the hotel staff to make special arrangements in the room. It will make the whole experience more pleasing and beautiful.

    Conclusion

    Couples can sometimes run out of ideas when it comes to trying out new things. As a result, their relationships can become dull over time. Therefore, it's crucial to keep indulging yourself in new things and adventures to spice up your relationship.

    If you and your girlfriend love sports and adventure activities, a motorbike trip is perfect for you. It's not only exciting, but super romantic too.

    Don't forget to plan your trip properly, before starting with your journey. Make all decisions mutually, carry all the necessary equipment, and have fun. Enjoy each other's company as you ride through different places. Lastly, we hope the tips shared in this article can help to make your motorbike trip with your girlfriend unforgettable.

  4. 3 Tips For Betting On Motorcycle Racing

    Posted on

    With betting now playing a huge part in the world of sports, it’s no surprise that motorcycle racing also has a huge following when it comes to gambling.

    As a sport that is so unpredictable, motor sports offer great appeal to punters, who enjoy the test of trying to work out how a race could unfold and who they want to bet on to win it.

    However, if you are new to betting or fancy have a punt on the next British Superbikes race, then you need to make sure you are aware of some vitally important tips for betting.

    In this guide, we are going to talk you through the top three, which all act as great information for the first time bettor or a reminder for those experienced gamblers.

    Know Your Sport

    At some stage in our lives, we’ve all experienced some form of beginner’s luck, whether that is getting a bargain from a new bike shop or playing a new game and winning. Eventually though, that luck tends to wear out and that is where knowledge and experience is needed.

    The same ‘rules’ apply in gambling, where for most people you tend to lose more times than you are going to win, so to improve your chances, it helps to have a good understanding of the sport or event you want to bet on.

    As we already mentioned, motor sports can be unpredictable, but if you have an idea on what the best bikes are and who the best drivers are, then you’ll be setting yourself up for a better chance of backing a winner. Also form is another factor to consider, with some riders performing better at some venues.

    To be an even better punter, you need to have a good grasp of the variables and how they might affect a race. These often include the surface type, length of the race and even the weather. If you are able to identify which rider is best suited to the conditions, then you can be more confident in your bet.

    Do Your Research

    As you’ve already guessed, the best punters in the gambling world are often those that have the most knowledge. From knowing the difference between a favourite and a each-way shot, to having an idea on what bet type to place, the more you know about gambling, the better your chances of winning.

    It’s always wise to do your research before placing any bet, and there are numerous websites that can give you tips and betting advice on all the latest sports betting markets.

    There are also plenty of people who make a living through the sports betting community online and share expert advice on a range of sports, including motorcycling racing. A quick look through social media will flag up plenty of potential people to follow and as long as they have a strong number of followers, it’s always worth checking in on their advice for a second opinion on your bet.

    Understanding The Odds

    One of the main factors involved with the gambling industry are the odds, which can be displayed in fractional or decimal format depending on your bookmaker. In Europe, they tend to come in the decimal form, with the United Kingdom opting for the more traditional format of fractions, which often show as 2/1 or 5/1.

    If you are a newcomer to betting, the general rule is that the number on the right of the fraction is your stake, and the number on the left is the amount you stand to win if your selection is correct. For example, if you place a £1 cash bet on a 5/1 winner, you will win £5, plus your £1 stake will be returned. If you put a £1 bet on a 5/1 selection and it loses, you will lose your £1 stake.
