Could I fix this myself? There is little to no air being blown out unless you crank it to high. Sometimes when you start the car even on high the fan doesn't work, it just comes on after a few minutes. Then when you go over bumps, the fan speeds up for a second when the car lifts up as you drive. I think it may be a loose connection of something, but I don't even know where to look first. Help.
You pretty much on the right track with riding gears and the safety course.
Actually, if the roof were high enough, * not * having a lightning rod would be an act of faith.
The most important things you already have listed. May I add that you get boots that fit TIGHTLY around the ankle and halfway up your calf. A steel arch support is a good idea. The reason for this is that when you see that a crash is inevitable, you'll tense up and plant your feet on the pegs to prepare for the crash. You'll most likely get a sever sprain or even a broken ankle from the compression. Get a HIGH quality leather glove! Nothing thin or imitation. The first thing humans do when falling forward is to extend the arms and land on their hands. The skin on the palms is going to be torn away. Always remember that friction will leave burns. Even when wearing leather you may get carpet burns on whatever body part you slid on although the leather may still be intact. Know that you seldom walk away without injuries. The handle bars most likely will be torn out of your hands and that will strain every muscle in your fingers. Your hands will hurt for weeks. The impact of hitting the ground will jar you to the core and you will feel like you have been run over by a bull. Ride safe and have fun.
well my gear is a spine protector,knee and shin gaurds,helmet,gloves,and a armor jacket
