There are a few accessories that most new Harley Davidson owners will look to change shortly after they take possession of their Harley Davidson. It doesn't matter whether it's new or used, many owners look to change the exhaust pipes and the seat. The exhaust pipe that you select for your Harley Davidson gives your bike some personality, it's either the loud and obnoxious bully or the quiet as a church mouse wall flower.

The seat on the other hand, is a crucial piece of riding equipment. The wrong seat can make your motorcycle riding experience an absolute torturous hell, while the right seat can not only make your bike look better, it will definitely make your riding experience a WHOLE lot more enjoyable. Any veteran Harley rider will tell you that the wrong seat can cause your butt to go numb, your legs to go numb, your back to ache and a host of other conditions.

I am one of those riders who are content to take shorter rides, or to stop frequently in order to make sure that I don't have to have a seat on my bike that looks like a giant, pillowy mound of vinyl and leather on the top of my Harley Davidson. I like seats that are low, lean and mean looking and sculpt themselves into the framework of my Harley Davidson but still provide an acceptable level of comfort and quality.

A friend of mine recently purchase a Danny Gray Harley Seat for his FXST and all I could think when I saw it was WOW. This seat looks AWESOME on his bike and while I didn't get to ride it for a long distance, it felt great around town for the half an hour I rode the bike. The Danny Gray seat featured a leather seating area, with vinyl side pieces. This should make for a comfortable and long lasting seat.

I also fell in love with the name of the seat.....The Danny Gray Butt Crack Solo seat. How could you not love a seat with a name like that? If you are in the market to replace the seat on your Harley Davidson then I would give the Danny Gray seats a good look. I personally loved it, but everyone has different tastes.

More and more health buffs are headed to the gym to get fit. More health clubs, too, are sprouting just about everywhere and theres probably a new one in your neighborhood that attracts you. The clubs special offers and facilities such as the gym, Jacuzzi, pool and steam room are enticing you to join in. But before you get excited to start your fitness routine, learn about the health hazards first that the gyms are prone to have. You would not want to end up having skin rashes and other ailments after hours of exercise, would you?

Fitness experts say levels of hygiene usually vary from club to club. Some gyms do have high standards but the others are not so hygienic that they may cause infections and irritations to members. Its sad though that in the U.S., where an estimated five million people joined health clubs in 2003 alone, there are no official rules for sanitation standards in private health clubs. With no health inspectors checking gym facilities, each club sets its own standards on hygiene like how often to clean facilities and equipment and how.

Its important to know that germs are lurking everywhere including in the gym and these bacteria can cause dermatitis, conjunctivitis, verrucas, athletes foot and other skin rashes. You can get these irritations from various parts of the gym swimming pool, changing rooms, exercise machines, sauna and steam rooms.

There are three types of germs that can breed on even the cleanest floors and walls. These are the fungi which causes athletes foot, viruses which are responsible for colds and flu and bacteria which causes skin infections and stomach upsets. They can be present in the gyms changing rooms so check out if the rooms are cleaned several times a day, if there is grime existing in the corners especially the part where the wall meets the floor and if they have handwash and trash bins which should be emptied as often as possible. Its best, therefore, to use rubber slippers or flip-flops when using the changing room as well as the showers and sauna and steam rooms.

In the swimming pool, some micro-organisms are always present which can be eliminated by chemical disinfectant and filtration. But if the chlorine used is either too little or too many, infections can happen. If gym users do not follow the shower before swimming rule, the pool can also become contaminated. Another possible problem is when the pool has too many bathers making the chlorine level insufficient. Check then that the pool has clear and bright water with a mild scent of chlorine, has drainage grills on the surface of the water, clean walls and the frequency of water treatment.

The gym is definitely a breeding ground for germs what with a hot and sweaty atmosphere. The sharing of unclean mats and exercise equipment also adds to the problem. For your safety then, make sure that you get a thorough briefing on proper operating procedures before using the gym equipment. Clean towels or paper towels should be provided to wipe the equipment before and after every use, the gym is cleaned regularly, a first-aid kit is on display, and staff members practice wiping down machines and weights. Check also that a drinking fountain is available as it is required by law and that theres enough space in between machines for ease of movement. Be responsible enough as well to wipe any equipment before using it.
