Queensboro Motorcycle Club has been around for over 98 years! That’s right I said over 98 years, That’s not only a long time for a Motorcycle Club,that’s a long time for anything!

OK Lets stop and think about this for a minute, The first (gas-engined) Motorcycle was invented in 1885. (Of course some consider the first Motorcycle invented to be the two-cylinder, steam-engine motorcycle powered by coal invented in 1867 by American, Sylvester Howard Roper) Harley Davidson who started in 1903 only has 7 years on Queensboro MC!

This MC has been around since the infancy of the Motorcycle culture. Now I have only known Queensboro MC for about 8 of those 97 years but I can tell you over 97 years this group of Bikers have made many friends in and outside of the Motorcycle world! Their annual Motorcycle Rodeo Held each year at a local Park shows not only how many friends they have made but also how 98 years can teach you how to throw a great party.Just one look at the parking lot at the Rodeo shows you the wide diversity of their Friends,With Motorcycles from Harley to Honda, Ninja to Norton and so many others in between. Now you don’t need a Motorcycle to be part of the FOQ (Friends of Queensboro)Crew and some of their many friends showed up in cars to enjoy the perfect Summer day!

The Event starts with sign up at Rolling Thunder in Hempstead and a Scenic ride over to the Rodeo. Once at the Rodeo there are of course plenty of great Motorcycle Events to enter,None of them more memorable then the Port-a-Potty pull ! If you need to ask what a Port-a-Potty pull is, Well all I can say is your just going to have to show up at next years Rodeo! The Event also has many great Vendors,Food and Beverages, a D.J., Children’s events, a Bike Show and many games you don’t need a Motorcycle to play, Such as the Hilarious game “Shoot the Biker Freak”. The Final event of the day is always the Tug of War !

Queensboro MC’s Motorcycle Rodeo has a permanent mark on my calendar of events to attend every year and a big gold star on it for 2010!!! Check out QueensboroMC.com for info on their many other great Annual events!!!

Many computer users are not informed enough to know that to download recorded music is against the law so that it is considered an act of piracy. Music that you pay for can be found doing a Google search, so that many computer users believe that it is alright to do it. Little do they know that downloading music that is not free by not buying is downright illegal as it can lead to trouble and legal problems.

The best thing to do would be to buy the full recorded album so that you paid for it. the truth is, most people don’t want to pay for a full album because they don’t like all the musical selections. Because it is so easy to download free music, most people choose to download the music if it is found online free.

In order to sidestep legal problems, most computer users who want to download music look for legal downloads. Music that is legal is downloadable music online that does not cost a thing. The important thing is that the redistribution rights for legal free music is tolerated as it is not sold for financial gain.

Why does legal free music exist? Music artists are always finding ways to make more sales and one effective way in doing so is by giving away free sample tracks that can be downloaded free so that fans may share it with others without any fear of legal issues. It can also be a great way of supporting the fans and showing their appreciation and care for them and new and aspiring artists make use of distributing legal free music to help promote their presence without their fans having to spend for something out of their curiosity.

Just because a lot of songs are freely available does not mean that they sound bad or the selections are the weakest of the recorded group. In fact, a lot of the free tracks can sound pretty good and most people like what they hear. Many of the rare gems for each dramatically sound up to par with the commercial ones.

When you listen to a few legal free songs online, a great benefit is that you can discover music that you would not otherwise ordinarily know. If you recently come across a new artist, do a search on the Internet so you can go directly to their website as they may have some downloads at no charge that are accessible for fans. Whatever you do, don’t go to the fan websites that may unintentionally give away music unlawfully.

There are various online directories that recommend sites that provide links for music links at no charge, but do not pay any money so that you gain entry to get the songs. Most musicians and performers who do offer music at no charge on their websites do so because they want to retain their fan base and give something back to their fans. Fans in turn will purchase songs that they are to pay for, because they like the artist and want to get the song.

So the fans can really do well buy downloading music that is actually at no cost legally and share with friends. There will be no potential problems as a result of illegally downloading music that is not supposed to be free. Luckily for fans, there are loads of free legal music on websites online today, so by avoiding paid membership sites you can get a lot of music downloaded without paying for it.

The websites have two types of memberships with the first being the contributors or the seeders. These are the gentlemen who are sick along and tired of noticing other people have to pay through their noses for some idiot movie, music, game.

They offer their torrents for free to these web pages as long as you follow the rules. The other type of members is the lechers or the gentlemen who can share the files that have been given for sharing. These members are charged minimal annual fees as above for a lifetime membership.

You may be imagining this is a small time exercis along with that you can only get a few sordid films downloads. You might by no means be more incorrect. 1 of the web pages with unlimited film, music, and games have over 80 million films for download.

Along with the new ones that keep materializing in from the innovators. Hows that for assortment? I have used this web page to download most of my amusement needs online and all that at no extra cost in addition to my original life time membership fee.
