Chinese ATVs these days are not what they used to be termed as "junk ATVs" anymore. In fact, some of the Chinese ATVs that you find in the market are probably just as good as one of those top-of-the-line ATVs like Yamaha, Polaris or Bombardier. Gone are the days where Chinese ATVs are being labeled as "inferior grade" items because most of the Chinese ATV dealers in the country have certainly done their part in ensuring that the quality of Chinese ATVs are improving and yet being sold at affordable prices. The only setback, I would say, about Chinese ATVs is the availability of its parts in the market. This is because even though the quality of Chinese ATVs has improved, most Chinese ATV dealers...

In the old days we had to wait for a price catalog to show up in the mail. Today we got the web. With that comes a lot of competitive web sites all offering the absolute lowest price. The low price guarantees on the web are outrageous. Many of these motorsports sites are claiming basically the same thing. They are offering you the "lowest price" and that phrase is used rather loosely depending on what site you are on. This is something to take note of. Now, the other thing you need to know is that this phrase, "the lowest price" is used with a wide range of percentages ranging from 15% to 50% and sometimes even higher. Keep in mind that you are dealing with a 30% price swing here. Maybe these guys...

Copyright (c) 2010 Ted Cantu Driving through downtown Birmingham, Michigan today was a real eye opening experience. It's a city that has been going through a lot of changes. Historically speaking it is a city that has been through decades of changes and has always remained intact and relevant. The one thing you will notice is that some stores are thriving and other store fronts have vacated almost overnight. These storefront owners have lost faith and have opted to forever close their doors instead of trying to adapt to our economy's current wave of change. Even in our darkest hour there is hope. Economists will tell you that you can make a fortune in a down market. Other stores have braced...

Copyright (c) 2010 Ted Cantu I caught an interesting thing online recently. Many web merchants are not going to take the traditional routes to advertise in 2010. According to a recent questionnaire by a Metro Detroit entertainment group, Hot Metro Finds, many merchants have turned their back against standard advertising methods. This includes a whole variety of methods such as Yellow Pages, billboards, television and radio. Add to that list pay per click advertising fees. S.E. Michigan merchants have not expressed an interest in this type of advertising. Some place that viewpoint on the economy. Others have a different take on it. They say that it is just not effective. In either case, many online...

Copyright (c) 2010 Ted Cantu Everyone is buzzing about Web 2.0 in the last 6 months. It is interesting to see this type of change occur in our changing economy. There is a wide range of change taking place in the way we experience new products, goods and brands. Thanks to Web 2.0 we can have other people serve as experts in their field and interact with us. This changes the way we view the world we all live in. It definitely changes the way we experience products and make decisions about buying services. After the dot com era there was a distance with anything web related. A lot of people lost faith. A lot of investors lost faith in the webs appeal to reach people. But then something magical...

As long as you have basic knowledge about how to maintain your Chinese ATV parts, you can't go very wrong. Although many perceive Chinese ATV parts to be second-class parts for their ATVs, this is not always the case. Chinese ATV parts have come a long way and today, they're just as good as any other types of ATV parts that you can find in the market. If you perform proper maintenance on your ATV and clean your Chinese ATV parts regularly, there really shouldn't be any problem at all. The first thing you need to rid yourself of if the mentality of 'if it's not broken, you don't need to fix it'. In the case of an ATV or any automobile, this is not the case. Proper maintenance of our Chinese ATV and...

Driving through downtown Birmingham, Michigan today was a real eye opening experience. It's a city that has been going through a lot of changes. Historically speaking it is a city that has been through decades of changes and has always remained intact and relevant. The one thing you will notice is that some stores are thriving and other store fronts have vacated almost overnight. It seems that some retail environments are left clueless and have pulled out completely. In short, we are living in a state of economic war. Even in our darkest hour there is hope. Economists will tell you that you can make a fortune in a down market. Other stores have braced themselves for the worst and have strengthened...

The months following 911 were very bleak. In the midst of Bushs' war there was a very interesting economic seed being planted in the background. Not many people noticed but it caught my attention. Right after the attacks on New York City something minor happened in nearby Norwalk, Connecticut. A little indy record store called ABCD, (which got a lot of my money every payday) suddenly went out of business... or did they? This was one of the first businesses who closed their retail storefront and moved their entire inventory online. Right after ABCD moved their UK pop music store online they were going to continue to communicate to their fan base through email and advertise strictly online. There was...

I cannot believe how many magazines have folded in the last few months. Newspapers are also collapsing including the Ann Arbor News, (a newspaper who's Sunday Edition was actually thicker than the New York Times!) in these turbulent rocky economic conditions. There are too many to list here in this article but you know what I am saying. People are running to the web for just about everything. As a medium there really is no rival. It is growing at a skyrocketing rate. A lot of your traditional media outlets are failing including the Yellow Pages. Along with that growing list of defunct advertising methods I will include newspaper advertisements as part of that list. So when someone goes to look into...

I was surprised the other day how many cheap Chinese Yamaha knock off parts were on the web. Luckily for the online searcher these sites don't pop up on the top pages of Google, Yahoo and Bing. But if you dig around on the web you will come across them. There is a big problem with this because it's all over the Internet. When you type in Yamaha ATV parts into Google you see a lot of warnings against Chinese knock off parts from real fans who have gotten ripped off in the past. There are also warnings about this on eBay and the problem is obvious. There is a lot of junk on the Internet. So when you really want to get some great ATV parts you want to make sure you are getting quality OEM parts from...
