GPS Auto Tracker
|
|
|
The use of covet GPS vehicle tracking to conduct surveillance has increased as the technology has evolved in terms of size, range and reliability. Federal, State and local law enforcement agencies are using the technology to fight crime on a daily basis. Investigative services both private and public have used the technology to discover and prosecute sexual predators, cheating spouses, misuse of vehicles and equipment, child custody violations, embezzlement , Insurance fraud and many other vehicle location related violations.
Many civil liberty and privacy advocates have endeavored to limit the use of this technology. Legislation and court filings by these groups have sought to require search warrants prior to the use of covert GPS vehicle tracking, However a decision by the 7th Circuit of the US Court of Appeals has ruled that placing a GPS tracking device on a vehicle is lawful and does not require a search warrant, The federal government successfully argued that placing a GPS tracking device on a vehicle does not violate the 4th Amendment of the Constitution and is not an unreasonable search of the vehicle. The vehicles were not entered or physically searched. This means that all that is needed to employ a device is normal probable cause.
Many states and local governments have however enacted laws and regulations limiting the use of GPS vehicle tracking. As a general rule a private citizen may only place a device on a vehicle they own, leases or rents. Prior to employing a GPS tracking device on any other vehicle it would be wise to contact your States Attorney General Office for advice. Failure to do so could result in severe legal liabilities that may include incarceration.
New strides in technology have greatly reduced the size of GPS tracking units. Some GPS data logging devices are no larger than a pen. Even the real time tracking devices are now available in the size of a pack of cards.
The units that use older data logging technology are the cheapest and easiest tracking devices to use. In addition these units do not require any monthly fees or use of a third party to access tracking information. The downside of employing this type of tracking device is that it must be retrieved in order to access the tracking information.
Real time GPS tracking devices provide current or real time tracking information. This information is gathered by the tracking device then uploaded to a service provider using existing cell phone or satellite phone technology. The service provider then provides access to this information to its clients. Information gathered by this method unlike data logging is subject to possible compromise.
Never the less the bottom line is that the use of covert GPS vehicle tracking devices by private citizens requires a great deal of discretion and judgment. Failure to do so could lead to severe legal penalties.

Legends Of Scooter Sport: The Honda C100
|
|
|
I figured that the most numerous produced vehicle (not just scooter but vehicle) ever would be an appropriate choice for the first ever installment of "Legends of Scooter Sport." The Honda C100, Honda 50, or Honda Super Cub has been produced in some form or another since 1958 and 70 million bikes have been produced. Its' light weight, easy of use, and unbeatable reliability has won it over in the hearts and souls of millions all over the world. The model originally came with a solo seat and cargo rack, (similar to the later Honda c105) but by the time the bike made it to America, it had evolved into a two seater. The first model was powered by a pushrod 50cc four-stroke power plant putting out a bone crushing 4.5HP. At the time the four-stroke motor was in a class of its own due to its high revving nature and the lack of having to premix oil as found in most two-stroke bikes common of the time. The power met the road via two 17" tires, a three speed gearbox, and an automatic clutch. The step thru design on the chassis was revolutionary and was designed to allow easy access to women, children, and people of all sizes. In 1964 two larger capacity engines were offered for the first time, a 90cc and a 70cc. This bike launched Honda's famous "You meet the nicest people on a Honda" ad campaign.
In the late 1960s Honda upgraded the 50cc motor to a OHV engine putting out a more respectable 4.9HP. Though the basics of the Super Cub design remained constant over the years, the bike was slowly upgraded over time. The most notable upgrade being the addition of conventional motorcycle forks in the early 1980s. During its lifetime the bike has spawned numerous other models including the popular Honda CT90 (or Trail 90) and the electric start C102 Super Cub. During the 80s in the USA the Super Cub was phased into Honda's newest model, the Passport. The Passport featured a more modern 12v CDI type ignition to meet stricter emission requirements and achieve better fuel mileage. The Passport has been unavailable in the US as a new model for almost twenty years.
The Super Cub is still produced today for the Japanese and Asian markets and it is one of the most durable bikes on the planet. There have been many reported instances of running cooking oil in the engine instead of regular oil without even a whimper from the motor. Recently electronic fuel injection was added to the new models being produced and it continues to be a great seller in Japan and other parts of Asia.
Modern Super Cub Anniversary Edition:
I love my 1965 Honda C100 and if you would like to check out more about it and its' modifications, you can see it in the DIY section.

India – LCVs to Capture 47% Commercial Goods Carrier Market
|
|
|
According to our new research report, “Indian Automobile Sector - A Booming Market”, LCV production in India is expected to take off in a big way in coming years. In fiscal 2007, high demand for LCVs in both domestic and international markets raised the total production of commercial vehicles despite a fall in medium and heavy segments during the same timeframe.
Indian LCV manufacturers are mainly targeting South Asia, the Middle East and Africa to sell their finished products as these regions are demographically similar to India. Thus, LCVs, which are made keeping Indian roads in mind, will face lesser difficulties in acceptance by people and perform in these regions. Moreover, LCVs could be utilized in the regions for other mode of goods transportation as well due to their body size. Besides, these regions are undergoing massive infrastructure development, creating large potential opportunities for commercial vehicles, especially the lighter ones as lower import rates are charged on LCVs, says the RNCOS research.
Sensing the growing demand of LCVs in export markets, Indian manufacturers have raised the share of LCVs to 47% in total production of commercial goods carrier (as of 2007-08).
