They Don’t Make Funny Sports Nicknames Like They Used To
Article by James Dickerson
As most of you are probably aware of, the world has been going downhill lately. To be more precise, the world has been going to you know where in a handbasket ever since I was young. Those were the golden days, of course. So what’s the particular problem I’m talking about here? It is the very serious problem of a lack of humorous names (or anything even remotely clever) in sports. Sports figures used to have clever nicknames. But now, they just go by an initial and last name or something and think it’s the height of cool. D-Will? Please. T.O.? How creative. What I wish for is the good old days.
In the really old days there were funny sports nicknames like “The Manassas Mauler” (boxer Jack Dempsey) and “Cool Papa” (Josh Bell – Negro League baseball player. We had people like “Satchel” Paige – another Negro League player. In the NFL, there was Dick “Night Train” Lane. In the NBA there was “Wilt the Stilt.”
Today it’s all D-Wade and other such things. We really need more clever names again!

Motorcycle Insurance
Article by Claire Jarrett
Getting motorcycle insurance is a must for motorcycle riders in the UK, as well as in the U.S.A, Europe and Asian countries. Most riders in America and Europe countries ride motorcycles for pleasure. In Asian countries like China and India people more commonly use motorcycles as their main mode of transport for commuting to offices.
Motorcycle insurance premium rates depend on many factors such as the purpose for which the motorcycle is used, amount of miles the motorcycle has travelled and the power of the motorcycle engine. When choosing insurance, as with car insurance, motorcycle owners have the option of going for liability insurance and as well as the complete coverage. The rates available will also depend on the driver record. If the driver has been issued tickets and doesn’t have a good driving record then the rates offered will be higher and hence it is necessary for the motorcyclist to try to maintain a good driving record.
In the case of motorcycles, liability coverage will cost less than normal auto insurance as the amount of damage that can be caused by a motorcycle is on average much less than the potential damage caused by cars. Theft risk is however higher in the case of the motorcycles and hence the insurance companies will charge more for theft insurance coverage of motorcycles. It is always sensible for motorcycle owners to go for the theft insurance.
In order to get a good deal on their insurance, motorcycle owners can shop online for various companies quotes. There are a number of online web sites that provide insurance quotes for given data on a particular motorcycle.
There is also another option of reducing the rates on the motorcycle insurance. Motorcycle owners can consider taking online courses on safe motorcycle driving. Having a course certificate will reduce the insurance rate.
Insurance companies will also take the power of the motorcycle and the age of the motorcycle owner into consideration. If a 25-year-old youth wants to get insurance for the 750cc motorcycle, then the rates quoted by the insurance provider will be very high. Thus, one has to be aware of the various factors before going to get the insurance quote for their motorcycle. One should generally start by shopping online to get the best available insurance quote and proceed from there. However, check the small print, as the cheapest quote is not always the best motorcycle coverage to opt for.
