Baby We Were Born to Run - Bikes in SL

One of the great bikes I won on the Turlaccor 

MM Board

My wife Alatrina has an addiction that I really enjoy, but I give her a hard time about it because it's who I am. However, in the long run, an addiction to lingerie is definitely a win - win situation for me. I'll let her tell you about it in a future post perhaps.

Seems I have gotten hooked on something in SL these days that I have found to be a lot of fun and challenging as well. I love to look at Motorcycles in Real Life but I have never really gotten past the looking stage. However, in SL that is a totally different story. Al and I are always looking for something to do together, and one day (Yes, it happened just like that) all of a sudden I said, "Hey, let's go see what this Motorcycle thing is about."

Since then I have been hooked. I spent a few days looking around. I don't know if you have priced bikes but I have found them to be quite a pricey habit if you want more than one. Trust me, if you like this you will want more than one. I tried several bike companies and I settled on one I felt like, for the buck and the ride, it seemed to win hands down over all the others.

Turlaccor Bikes and it's Owner Turlaccor Mode are a class act. I love the showroom and the way it's set up. When you get into bikes you will find that as in the real world there are many varieties of bikes. Turlaccor has set up their Sim in such a way that you can test all of their bikes in an environment where you can see what you like best before you buy. Truth is, there are other companies that do this too (Such as Q's Bikes) but I just prefer the way that the Turlaccor bikes look and handle.


The thing that I love most about Turlaccor is their service. They find ways to reward those who invest in their product and I appreciate that. They have Midnight Mania (MM) boards that you can win great free stuff on. So, I tried my first bike through them that way and I have bought other bikes since then. If you join their group they do great limited time sales as well on their Marketplace Store. I have gotten some great deals on great bikes that way as well. It's hard to beat cutting edge technology and great prices. The variety is amazing as well; they have anything from Vintage Indian styles to top end Sportbikes.

My growing Bike Collection from Turlaccor..

If you are new to Motorcycles, there are tons of resources out there in addition to MC's (Motorcycle Clubs) where you can find out more as well. I am always available to contact if you have any questions. If you have feedback we would certainly appreciate it as well. Please feel free to leave comments or drop me an email. Al and I are always happy to help people. That's why we do what we do.

Enjoy the Ride throughout SL

How To - Mass Communications

I have been in SL for quite awhile now and it seems sometimes I forget how difficult some things are to learn. Then again, some people may never even think to use certain features. Today we are going to show you how to open a chat conference with your friends. There may come a time that you are at a great concert and you want everyone to have an opportunity t be a part of it. One of the easiest ways to do this is to open a conference window and tell everyone all at once.

Also, understand that I use Firestorm and other clients (SL Viewer, Singularity, Black Dragon, etc.) might be a little different. Most clients have similar options and may just take a little searching. But most will have this option for you to utilize.

Now again some of this may be a little different for you. With my setup my tabs for windows are primarily on the bottom. Along that row of tabs you will find your "People" tab.

Once you locate this tab you will click on it. It will then open up your people group window.

 You will see your groups and friends window pop up. The next step is to hold down your ctrl key and with your left mouse button click on the names of the people that you want to speak with in a group together.Ctrl + A should give you the option to select all your friends. Just like usual for keyboard tricks. Then click the thing that looks like a gear and choose "IM" from the Drop Down Menu that you see.

Finally, you should see a window open up in your chat groups that will probably be labeled as "Multi person chat" If you click on the expand arrow as shown in the third image you can see the people that appear in that conference. Click on that arrow again to shrink that window so you have more room for viewing. You can close out that chat window when you are done with is by simply clicking the "X" that appears in the upper right of your chat window.

This application applies to removing mass amounts of frien

Anyds you have no desire to remain friends with as well. You can also offer a mass call and Teleport this way as well. I do want to go on record and say that Mass Teleports annoy the crap out of some people and you may want to avoid it. Sending mass teleports too often could make you the victim of a mass unfriending. Just remember to be considerate of those you are friends with in SL.

If you have any questions or comments please feel free to leave them below. If you have any questions about how to do something in SL Please feel free to contact me for assistance. Maybe I'll blog about it if enough people could use the help.

Have a great week!
