Riding a bike

If you move about on the busy roads of our great cities these days, or anywhere for that matter, and you use some type of vehicle to do so then you must certainly be aware of a few things. Insurance and security are vital considerations on our congested roads, I think you will agree. Personally speaking, being a motor bike rider, I am very aware of all manner of security risks that seem to be inherent to riding a bike these days. For instance, I have had some personal experience in dealing with injury claims and found that not all companies are alike when it comes to this.

If you ever find yourself obliged to put in motorbike accident claims of some sort then I could urge you to make use of the excellent services of Claimant Law. They really helped me a lot when I had to claim for a rather nasty motorbike injury. It's bad enough getting injured on the road so the least you want is to be treated well by your claim company.

Riding a motorbike is great fun. It connotes a sense of freedom and total liberty that is hard to beat. However, with this freedom and abandon comes a measure of necessary responsibility. Your safety is paramount, that is for sure. So if you are looking for a great company to handle your motorbike injury claims then don't hesitate to give Claimant Law a ring. They will do right by you, I guarantee it.

For the love of film and video

Personally speaking, I think it might be fair to say that I am a bit of a film buff. Or perhaps film buff is wrong, I do not at all pretend to possess some immense volume of knowledge about films and the cinematographic arts. Oh no, no lofty airy fairy airs and graces here, to be sure. What I mean to say and what I would attest to is being a great lover of film and video. I remember when I was a lad the first video stores started to appear. My family happened to be one of the first homes to have a video recorder and player in the neighbourhood. This resulted in my friends and I often getting together and clubbbing some money together to rent a video. It was the early stages and some of the films on offer in our local video store were not quite impressive by any standards.

In fact, there were some memorable turkeys that we sometimes ended up with. I remember with suitable horror a veritable nightmare with the less than magical title Driller Killer. This was the story about a driller killer (oh yeah one of those..) who lived one floor up from a punk band. The film was a series of shots of the driller killer killing with his drill interspersed with scenes of this atrocious punk band rehearsing downstairs. It was remarkable in that it was so incredibly abysmal. It must has set some sort of anti-esthetic world record in cinema.

I'm sure you would be treated to something altogether more uplifting at Video Production Austin TX , you can be sure. But, even though those early film experiences were a bit touch and go, they did instill a love of the way you can watch a film and just escape the mundane for a few hours. Often I would stay up late at the family home and watch these rather unusual Italian films on an arty tv channel. I will never forget my impressions after seeing Amarcord for the very first time. Memorable, and then some, that is how you can describe those magical moments.
