It's Sunday, time to idle? Us? not a chance!

I think I told you I was thinking about skiing today, but Mother Nature had other ideas, gee thanks… PSM had to go into work to meet some folks, so I figured since we would be gone/occupied for a few hours, I’d go and hit the slopes for a few, and then we’d meet somewhere new, you know, somewhere off my list! Since we have four places left to go on our Lebanon Valley Java Journey, let’s get up…

Audience Engagement, Ethics & Diversity

Who is my target audience (you must identify one, specifying an age group eg. 12-17 yo. Do not make it too broad as it is less likely to engage a wide audience)?

According to the EDQ Marketing Appendix, the current target audience for events at Northshore is "current residents and workers, destination visitors, destination visitors youth, tenants and occupants, and developers" (REFERENCE).

My target audience is young adults aged between 11-26 years old (Gen Z) as this generation makes up the highest percentage globally (40%) of thrift shop consumers.

(2022). The Business Journal. What's old is trendy again for thrift stores. https://thebusinessjournal.com/whats-old-is-trendy-again-for-thrift-stores/#:~:text=The%20report%20said%20that%20Gen,than%2040%25%20of%20global%20consumers

How can my project inspire, ethically engage, and sustain this target audience?

Thrifting may be a trend at the moment so there is a risk that maintaining this particular audience may be difficult. In saying that, according to Paul Durkin, Director of Home and eFulfilment at Wincanton, "There is evidence shoppers are increasingly turning towards used clothing and studies suggest the market for ‘pre-loved’ items could even become bigger than ‘fast fashion’ by 2029".

Gillingham, W. (2023). imrg - The UK Ecommerce Association. Is buying used clothing the next retail trend?https://www.imrg.org/blog/is-buying-used-clothing-the-next-retail-trend/#:~:text=There%20is%20evidence%20shoppers%20are,'fast%20fashion'%20by%202029

In other words, people are choosing to spend there money on more second hand items in general considering the change in economy and a desire to engage in more sustainable and environmentally friendly practices.

Can my project attract a wider audience (beyond the target group)?

Books are not limited to one particular generation or age group. Books are for everyone. The age group set for the target audience is merely a guideline based on people who may be the most inclined to go out of their way for pre-loved items according to research and evidence.

Will (and why would) visitors (re-) visit Northshore to engage with my project?

You don't go to a library and read all of the books there in one fowl swoop. A book exchange is a great way to ensure return visitation as people are not going just to consume, but also to donate as well.

Black Friday: Cost of living crisis may hit sales rush

The cost of living crisis may dampen this year’s Black Friday sales rush, retail experts have predicted.

This is first festive season without Covid restrictions in place in three years, so the number of people hitting the shops is expected to be up on 2021.

But purse strings will be tighter as prices are rising at their fastest rate in 41 years.

Experts have said sales and profits are expected to be lower compared with 2021 as a result.

Retail expert Richard Lim told the BBC he was expecting Black Friday to be a more “muted affair” with sales down on last year.

“Inevitably, I think what we’re going to see is consumers being much more careful with their spending,” he said.

Although it is one of the busiest days in the retail calendar, this year Black Friday has to compete with football World Cup matches – including England v USA and Wales v Iran.

Black Friday shoppers warned of ‘dubious discounts’

The greener alternative to Black Friday

Overall, footfall at shops around the UK is still expected to be below pre-pandemic levels, retail experts at Springboard said.

For many, it will be the first chance to see High Streets and shopping centres lit up for Christmas as many stayed away during lockdowns, said Springboard’s marketing and insights director, Diane Wehrle.

But she also warned that those shoppers would be looking for a hard bargain. “People will be trying to outpace the 11.1% inflation rate,” she said.

‘Not rushing out’

Louise, 40, a stay-at-home mum from Suffolk, said she would not be rushing out for this year’s Black Friday sales.

“I use price trackers and can see that some things I want are cheaper in advance, about four to six weeks ahead of the sales, so I do my Christmas shopping around then,” she said.

She said all of her household bills were going up. Now shopping feels like a luxury, when she feels like she should be saving.

Black Friday has morphed from its former one-day shopping frenzy of a decade ago, to offers stretched over the week. Consumer group Which? found that many of the discounts found on Black Friday in 2021 could be found at other times of the year too.

Amazon said it was offering savings during the festive season as well as throughout the year.

“We are acutely aware of the cost pressures customers are facing at the moment,” said John Boumphrey, UK Country Manager for Amazon.

He said that rising costs and interest rates were squeezing not just low-income households, “but the crisis is spreading to the middle classes as well.”

Andy Mulcahy, an analyst at IMRG, analysed figures for the first week of November, when many major retailers launched their Black Friday deals online, to see if they would give a clue on retail’s performance on Friday.

But he said: “Electronics, where retailers focused heavily on TVs for watching the World Cup, were still down -9.4%, against -14% for the same week in 2021, so that feels like a disappointing response from shoppers.”

Meanwhile, brand consultant Ello Group – which is behind some customer loyalty schemes including Tastecard for restaurants – surveyed 1,000 people and one-third said they could not afford to shop this Black Friday, with 25 to 34-year-olds struggling the most.

Ello’s Michael Kalli said that with costs rising rapidly, people’s shopping priorities are now “moving from treats to necessities.”

The Main Factors To Consider When Buying A Beginner Motorcycle We’d urge any new rider to hone their skills on an entry-level machine before stepping up to a larger bike at a later date.

#Beastrun motorcycle driver

To frame things in a more digestible manner, think of it like this you probably wouldn’t advise a new driver to learn the basics behind the wheel of a Lamborghini or Hellcat-engined muscle car, and a new rider starting on a full-size motorcycle (or even a 600cc i4) is an equally atrocious, and even more dangerous idea.

#Beastrun motorcycle skin

If you look at motorcycle crash statistics, the vast majority of wrecks involve riders within their first six months on the road, that are piloting machines that are objectively too large relative to their skin level, commencing their careers on full-size cruisers or cutting-edge superbikes. By starting on an appropriate model relative to your skin and experience level, you give yourself now only the best chance of growing as a rider, but you also minimize the likelihood of an easily avoidable wreck. Not only are bigger bikes less forgiving and more difficult to ride, but they also impede a new rider’s ability to learn, grow, and progress as a rider, as too much effort and energy is spent on keeping the bike in check, rather than focusing on the primary fundamentals of riding like vision and body positioning. When compared to small-displacement, entry-level models, full-size motorcycles are markedly more difficult to control, with ultra-sensitive controls that allow for a minimal margin of error. Why Starting Small When Riding Is The Way To Go So without further adieu, let’s get into it.

#Beastrun motorcycle how to

In addition to counting down our picks for the most learner-friendly models, we’ll also be exploring what to consider when shopping as well as how to find the right bike for you, and why it’s so crucial to start your riding career on a learner-friendly model. So, with this in mind, we’ve thoroughly scoured the entry-level moto market to deliver this guide to the best beginner motorcycles. And while this segment was once limited to only a handful of models (looking at you, original Honda Rebel and Kawi Ninja 250), the entry-level motorcycle class currently boasts more options than any previous time in the history of motorcycling.ĭespite the abundant number of choices, it can still be intimidating to purchase a new type of vehicle for the first time, and this very much extends to the two-wheeled realm. Add to that the fact that piloting a motorcycle is a markedly more active and involved experience than driving a car, and you can quickly start to see why it’s so important to start one’s riding career on an appropriately sized, entry-level machine. I always dread the 90's with high humidity we get here in Bama in summer, makes for unconformable ride but again I say the crotch cooler keeps away from your inner thigh.Motorcycles lack the protective benefits of an automobile’s shell, airbags, and crumple zones, and, as such, expose the rider to far more danger. On his new one he installed two small fans blowing directly on each cylinder which he can control from on and off from switch on bars.You cannot even see then unless you look closely. I even know of one guy in my IMRG group who dropped an exhaust valve waiting in traffic. That is one of the biggest complaints on the TS111.I have ridden in the 40's and it still gets hot when stop and go required.Lots of guys have removed the Cat to keep them cooler.Get it checked and get a crotch cooler from Captain Itch. These cylinders get way too hot,as for yours I would take it back as you said to make sure no leaks anywhere. Exhaust pipe right down your right legs,These beast run way too hot, I suspect you cannot build an engine any bigger with out water cooling it. My Vintage ran just as hot as mine Chieftain when stock. It should have cooled down SOME with Indian A/C, I installed the Captain Itch chaps and they deflect the heat away.

A meeting, brunch, a mud sale, a new brewery

It’s Saturday, why did I have to wake up first at 2am, no idea. I fell back asleep, thankfully, then woke up close to 7a, in a slight panic, why didn’t my alarm go off?! Oh yeah, it’s Saturday! Wahoo! I went downstairs, the dogs had stayed out, meaning out of the crate, so about 730a, I went downstairs and whispered to them, ‘who wants to snuggle?’, you don’t have to ask twice! They came…
