PostHeaderIcon What is the best kind of motorcycle helmets????


Last night my girlfriend and I got back to my apartment around 2:00 a.m from a very long night ride on are motorcycles and we had sex. well the next morning when she left she took my helmet by mistake (are helmets look the same they are both full - faced helmets and the color black) well I was looking at the back of the helmet and it had a lot of sratches on it and the part of the helmet that protect your eyes look like it was about too fall right off. So I thought I would buy her a new helmet but which helmet is the best kind????

Shoei, they rock, they are made SUPER strong and light, they have the strongest and lightest full face helmets available, research them and see what you think

PostHeaderIcon does this article contain: euphemism, jargon, slogan, neologism, or statistics?


my homework assignment for english is to find an article with euphemism, jargon, slogan, neologism, or statistics, does this article contain any of those?

I’m Bruce Allen. This is CKNW and this is your "Reality Check". If I didn’t know any better it would seem there’s been a lot of immigrant bashing going on in the past few months. A month ago, the Sikh community was all up in arms over Passport Canada, refusing to issue passports to three Sikh kids because they were wearing religious headgear for the photos. The children were wearing those handkerchiefs which are knotted at the top of the head to keep their hair intact. That incident came on the heels of an immigration plan that was in the works, to have Sikhs with the surname Singh or Khan to change those names, so as to avoid administrative mistakes. Too many Singhs, too many Khans - that was the problem. And now we’ve got a controversy over the fact that Elections Canada has said that it’s all right to have Burqa-covered Muslim women vote in elections when it’s very clear that voters have to be able to be identified when going to the polls. All of these issues join the list that contains the turban-wearing Mounties problem and the one where the motorcycle rider was angry that he had to wear the helmet - as it was impossible to get it on over his turban. This is all very simple. We have laws in this country. They are spelled out and they’re easy to get a hold of. If you’re immigrating to this country and you don’t like the rules that are in place, then you have the right to choose not to live here. But if you choose to come to a place like Canada, then shut up and fit in. We are a democracy, but it seems, more and more, that we are being pilloried by special interest groups that just want to make special rules for themselves. This is easy to solve: these are the rules, there is the door. If you don’t like the rules, hit it. We don’t need you here. You have another place to go: it’s called home. See ya. I’m Bruce Allen and this is the Giant CKNW Newstalk 980.

The only way this assignment is going to help you learn, is for you to look up the terms Euphemism, etc. and them find them yourself in this article or some other one.

Sorry, giving you the answer will hurt, rather than help you, in the long term. Best wishes to you.

PostHeaderIcon What was the name of the cartoon from the 70’s that featured a car named ‘Wheelie’?


All the characters were cars, and his nemesis was a motorcycle named ‘Chopper’ who wore a WWI German helmet.

"Wheelie and the Chopper Bunch" (1975)
