I seriously almost got annalated by a 450 dirt bike today

    My brother has been asking me for 2 or 3 months to start his 450 dirt bike. I tried 3 times or so to get her started and it was always the same thing, the bike would start then die, start then die. After trying for awhile i'd have to stop because it would just kill me since i was pretty much un-fit. Finally a friend is over today and got her started, after going at it hard for 10 mins.  He starts to ride around the yard and the bike continues to die, i fix the idle real quick and its good.

     Ok now here is where i almost fly off.  He gets the bike started and leaves it into neutral so i can jump on. I get on and kill the bike multiple times while trying to shift to 1st. I know it doesn't seem like i have a clue to whats going on but i really do, its just a 450...  I get her going at once and when i do, well lets say i pulled some evil Knievel type s*** and popped a willy while my left arm goes into the air, releasing the handle, at the same time my right arm is still accelerating the bike then finally both hands are off the handles.  This was most definitely the scariest thing that has happen to me so far in this wonderful life.. Luckily i land back down to earth and catch the handles with both hands and all is good. 

    After finally riding my brother 450cc dirt bike, I will absolutely never underestimate the power of that machine.  My brother even warned me about the dangers of the bike, i shook it off considering I've rode 250's all my life. Next time i'll be listening. 

Guide to starting a flea market business (Part One)

How To become a Flea market Vendor

  Looking for extra income or some spree cash, or even just looking for a new hobby.  A Flea Market business can be very profitable.  Most experience vendors can leave with $500 dollars minimum  this would be a larger flea market (25-50 vendors).

  Alright now I'm going to give you tips and basics, for your first couple months as a vendor. Feel free to take any personal notes that may help you later on. Book marking may also provide a great resource.

           What you'll need

• Before you begin you'll need the following to be able to be a vendor and/or successful vendor

1. Truck or car witch trailer hitch
2. a place you can store your merchandise in.
3. A enclosed trailer (if you can afford).  For easy storage and potability.
4. start up cash (100-500)
5. A Stand and small event tint
6. Vendors tax license

• So after you've made your check list, made sure you have everything you'll need, and found a location, make a time to goto the flea market.   Have this planed out in advance to give you time to remember anything you may have forgotten

Basics

     There Really isn't much to being a vendor, it's actually pretty simple and shouldn't be hard to master.   After you've got everything you'll need a place to find your merchandise.  You can very easily find products at any thrift store or yard sales.  I'll you now that yard sales will almost always be the place to find new products to sell for good profit.  The people who run the yard sales are usually very friendly and with a little luck and charm, you may be able to get some great deals.  The quality of the goods is also something yard sales always have. 

     Specializing in a product can give you two benefits, people think you have better quality goods, people think your more professional and trust worthy.   The reason people will think you have better quality products is the fact all your products are related in some way.  The fact that they think your more professional  because your stand is clearly a specialty stand and seems legit.  People will also be able to more easily remember your stand and be more comfortable talking with you.

   When choosing a location you should take these thoughts into account. The size of the location, the number of vendors, the amount of businesses in the area.  Your going to want to choose a location that is pretty decent in size, by doing so you will ensure more business to your stand. The more vendors in the location, the more curious buyers.  The amount of businesses will tell you if there is money in that area of if there is not.  A popular saying on the marketing the world ""follow the money""  which basically means go where the money is. If its a hour away drive there, if its 3 hours away, move there.
