WHAT IS POWERING THE RECENT MOTORCYCLE BOOM?

Jason — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 05:19:37 +0000

The American Industry is experiencing the return of many a boomer, one is Vintage. Even marques like Ducati and Triumph have stylised their entire range.And while Ducati’s SportClassic and Triumph’s Modern Classic motorcycles are the most prolific examples of the modern vintage niche – they are far from alone. Moto Guzzi has built “classic” models alongside its high-performance Twins, and Royal Enfield survives solely off vintage-inspired units. Even Honda floated a production vintage test balloon when it debuted the ‘80’s-styled CB1100F concept at the Tokyo Motor Show in 2007.The success of the modern vintage niche is hard to argue against, with Triumph’s Parallel Twin-powered Modern Classics, of which the Bonneville is the flagship, a stalwart of the Trumpet line. The expansion of Ducati’s SportClassic line with the GT1000 Touring in 2009 is a clear signal its retro seeds have reaped financial rewards for the Italian marque as well.

Top On Wish List.

Jason — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 07:33:10 +0000

While thinking of buying a bike its hard not to think of Harley Davidson. Mostly every bike enthusiast has a Harley Davidson on Top of his wish list.
But Do you get what you pay for?
I was wondering if Harley’s are worth the difference in price, or do we just pay for the name?
Though buying name is not cool enough a reason, to pay such a huge amount.
More reasons clear my doubts, like

* Motorcycles come in many different styles and it is important to match the bike to your riding style and expectations.
* Harley Davidson is known more for their cruiser and custom style bikes than for sport bikes, even though the Sportster falls under the sport bike category to some degree.
* The riding style is important since this will directly effect the riding experience.
* If taking long road trips then buying a sport bike isn’t the best choice.
* Avoid making the mistake of buying a motorcycle that is beyond the riding ability.
* Buying a motorcycle that is too big or advanced will either end up as a discouraged rider or worse to an injury.
* while selecting a motorcycle look for skill, maneuver and managing ability of the rider.
* Harley manufactures good bikes and their parts are also easy available.
* A “true” cruiser created by America with a history behind it.
* A good point for American Patriots and all the profits to stay in America too.

Though you pay a bit more its joy and pride is every bit worth Harley Davidson bike.

Jason — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 06:35:11 +0000

Harley-Davidson to sell motorcycles in India in 2010, Lets hope economic growth will help the sales to speed up.

Harley-Davidson Inc. says it will begin selling its motorcycles next year in India in the company’s latest push into developing markets overseas.

Harley says it has established a subsidiary near Delhi and has begun scouting for dealers. The Milwaukee-based company is hoping its high-end, heavyweight bikes will compete with the well-established, smaller two-wheelers that dominate the huge Indian bike market.

The company says India’s rapidly growing economy, rising middle class and expanded highway construction have opened the market to leisure motorcycle enthusiasts.

The move marks Harley’s latest push into developing markets overseas, where it hopes rising incomes and the company’s strong brand will help offset flagging sales at home.

Engine Spockets for Your Harley Motorcycle

Jason — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 12:14:36 +0000

A sprocket is a profiled wheel with teeth that meshes with a chain, track or other perforated or indented material. It is distinguished from a gear in that sprockets are never meshed together directly, and from a pulley by not usually having a flange at each side.

Sprockets are used in bicycles, motorcycles, cars, tanks, and other machinery either to transmit rotary motion between two shafts where gears are unsuitable or to impart linear motion to a track, tape etc.

5 simple ways to Inspect your motorcycle before riding

Jason — Sat, 04 Jul 2009 11:52:08 +0000

Pre-riding inspections can help ensure you’re in for a safe ride. The following checklist is recommended for most motorcycles.

Check Tires, Controls, Lights and Accessories, Oils and Fluids, Chassis and Chain, and Kickstand before each ride.
Check your tire pressure. Under or over-inflated tires can translate to poor handling and stability.
Check your brake lights , turn signals, and all other electrical equipment and switches, including the horn.
After warming up your motorcycle, sit it up straight, remove the oil tank cap and use the dip stick to check the oil level. Add oil if necessary.
Operate the throttle, clutch, front and rear brakes and shifter. Make sure they’re all working properly.

Future of Gyroscopic Motorcycle…The Uno.

Jason — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 12:00:40 +0000

The Uno motorcycle is unlike anything you have ever seen before. According to the nytimes, A 19-year-old freshman, Ben Gulak is the inventor of Uno. This is an electric motorcycle that has two wheels side by side in the place of fore and aft and the motorcycle achieves balance using using a gyroscope and computer.

The Gyroscope technology is similar like Segway, It balances on two wheels that present right next to each other. When you push your body weight forward, the Uno goes forward. In the same way it goes backward when rides push his body weight backward.

It is very simple to operate that there are no more controls in Uno except for an on-off switch. The gyroscope gives automatic instruction to the ECU how much to acceleration should be, and how much the proper amount of power is delivered to the Uno wheels through electric motors, one for each wheel.
