Building your own bike from motorcycle parts is cheaper than buying one new and is a whole lot of fun. When you are done, there is nothing like the satisfaction of driving around on a machine you built with your bare hands.

Your first bike project can be a daunting task even if you've done repairs or custom work already. Advice from someone who's been through it can save you a lot of time and frustration and there are plenty of books to help.

How to Build a Kit Bike

Custom bike kits are a great choice for your first chopper. In this book by Tim Remus, you get a complete inventory of motorcycle parts so you don't have to worry about missing something or making sure different pieces match up. All you have to do is put it all together and paint it.

This book illustrates step-by-step the construction of four kit bikes. And "illustrates" is the right word because this book is packed with pictures that let you see how every step is going to progress. It includes advice on tools and techniques that are invaluable for a first project.

Although it is a good introduction and overview, some of the information is a bit superficial. It's a good start but not useful for anyone who has already built a bike. It's no replacement for getting down and dirty with motorcycle parts. You'll still make some mistakes, but you'll make a lot fewer after reading this book.

How to Build a Cheap Chopper

Like the book above, this book by Tim Remus carefully illustrates the build of 5 bikes. However these aren't kit bikes but rather bikes built from parts.

Most of the builds involve getting cheap Harley parts from junked donor bikes. The most expensive example is built with all custom chopper parts, but even this one will cost far less than buying a bike new.

Like Remus's other book, this one provides a solid foundation to the new bike builder but is no substitute for experience. It's a basic how-to manual that educates you on the basic concepts.

How to Paint Your Motorcycle

Once you assemble your motorcycle parts into a bad ass street machine you still need to paint it. You could take it to a paint shop, but then you could have just bought a new bike.

In this book, JoAnn Bortles shows you how to give your bike a professional paint job. She draws on her own extensive experience and is free with stories of personal mistakes. The book has a great conversational tone that makes it fun to read. It's a comprehensive reference of techniques from basic preparation to elaborate bodywork.

Whether you want just a quick coating of black or you want to try your hand at painting flaming skulls, or even if you just want a good read while waiting for the pros to paint your bike, this is a great addition to any bike builder's library.

If you and your partner are enjoying some much needed quiet time abroad or just out of town, why not add an exciting twist to your vacation by renting a motorcycle instead of the usual car and limousine?

Benefits of Motorcycle Rentals

Efficient Traveling – Riding a motorcycle will get you to where you’re going much quicker than a car would because motorcycles are able to make use of passages and perform nifty moves that bulky vehicles are essentially unable to do.

Affordable Solution – Motorcycle rentals are also cheaper than car rentals. Why spend more when you don’t have to? With motorcycle rentals, you’ll have extra pocket money to spend!

Option for Private Transportation – If you’re heading to Venice, you should know that this lovely Italian city doesn’t allow people to use cars; you can however use motorcycles if you’re not that fond of manual bikes or walking.

Tips on Renting a Motorcycle

Selection – It’s best that you rent from a shop which allows you to choose from a varied selection of motorcycles. In the event that your rented motorcycle will malfunction, the shop will surely be able to send you a replacement unit immediately.

Support and Services – If there are documentation needs for you to take care of before being able to rent a motorcycle, is the shop willing and able to help you take care of these requirements?

Price – Lastly, always compare prices and rates before making the final decision of where you’re going to rent a motorcycle.

Using and Driving a Rented Motorcycle Out of Town or Abroad

Always make sure that you have obtained the necessary license and other documentations before renting out any motorcycle. Laws regarding use and driving motorcycles after all varies from state to state (or country to country for that matter) so you may need to take additional tests even if you’re already a licensed motorcycle driver back at home.

Don’t forget to ask about insurance. Again, insurance requirements depend on where you’ll be using your rented motorcycle so you may also need to obtain additional but temporary insurance to be able to legitimately use a motorcycle on foreign roads.

Familiarize yourself with traffic and driving rules and regulations for motorcycles at your destination.

Clean your rented motorcycle regularly and treat it with care to avoid paying penalties later on. If, however, something still happens with your rented motorcycle, don't attempt DIY repair unless you’re professionally qualified to do so or it’s an emergency.
