Motorbikes Have Been Preferred Throughout The World For A Long Time

By Maisha Gavinski


The quantity of motor scooters you can get today is quite something, given that scooters were propelled with one's feet until the 1920s. Inside Taiwan, someone called Gino Tsai took things to the next level when he designed a motor scooter, for which demand was so great you had to place your order six months in advance. Fuel scooters grew to be hugely popular in the UK after companies there began to sell them in the 1950s.

It had not been some time before they appeared in numbers in Italy and France, too. Many people wanted one, and it had not been long before Germany fell prey to the craze. That has been over 50 years ago, and the choice all over the world today is staggering: gas scooters, electric scooters, models that are foldable and utility models, to name a few. They are affordable to own, handy and functional, economical to operate, and first and foremost, they are a lot of fun, and because of this, they have become a world-wide phenomenon.

Out of all the different types, the gas motor scooters aren't just the fastest, but they can travel the farthest also. For distance travelling you'd pick one of the bigger and heavier models, while for zipping around town one of the lighter models would be ideal. The more affordable scooters are electric, but they can only go 10 or 15 miles before needing a recharge. Over the years, their battery capacity has improved, but they even now aren't made for long trips. They are really great for light shopping and general vicinity trips, though. A handy invention is the mobility scooter, which as opposed to two wheels has three or four and is usually electric. The impaired and the elderly are their commonest users. With these scooters they have the means to get around without needing to depend on others.

Collapsible scooters have grown to be popular with the younger crowd, because they can go short trips, and then be folded up. It works well in case you just have a short distance to go to work or school. There are many different functions that a utility scooter may be used for. Their many applications include being used to move around production facilities, as golf carts, or even hauling goods. You can use them to cart people at sports stadiums, and venues like schools and hotels use them to patrol parking lots. They have definitely been branded aptly, because utility scooters have a wide range of uses. When you have determined your need and the type of scooter for that, you can choose from a lot of options.

It's not complicated, once you know your needs, to find the right scooter for you. Determine the popular make you need, and after that look for the one which most appeals to you. Usually it's not possible to decide on accessories until you know the motor scooter you are buying, because the accessories fit the model. After you have everything decided upon, you just drive your motorbike out of the dealership, and then nothing but fun.

Rebuilding a Second World War Motorcycle Artifact

By Darnell Austria


A number of staggering stories have been revealed over the decades, finding the obscure "barn find" would appear almost impossible that any more could exist. Time has shown us a lot of lessons and none are more prevalent than the fact that history repeats itself. Of course, given some time, it is possible, but the story around this '42 Harley-Davidson WLC looks hardly able to see a sequel. A real barn find makes for a good tale, but a World War II Harley Davidson adorned in Honda components and hidden away in a barn in rural Devon, England? Well that would make a great story.

Builder Nick Gale tells us, "I found it whilst visiting a relative 10 years/ten years ago. I got to talk to a local farmer when I was walking my dog one night and he said he's got a classic bike his old man had purchased in 1945 from a Canadian soldier at the conclusion of WWII. The local explained to me he thought it was a Harley, and that it is for sale. The bike had stayed inside the barn from 1945 until1981 he made a decision to make use of it and make it work."

Looking over the motorcycle, it had 18-inch front and rear wheels from Honda, a vintage Honda petrol tank, Honda fenders, a Suzuki headlight, handlebars from an lronhead Sportster, a hand clutch, and a big Vincent sprung seat. The farmer had coated the entire bike yellow, including all the nuts and bolts. Nick continues saying that the motorcycle had a long-expired UK registration and after checking the engine, forks, and frame ensuring they were complete, he sealed the deal for the equivalent of $1,200.

Nick said, "When I got it back home, I got the motorcycle running and was happy to see there were no strange sounds, no smoke, and like all '42s, once on the road, there are no breaks."

To prep the Harley Davidson for its revival, it was stripped to nothing to the basics. New 16-inch wheels were bought to exchange the Honda tires and the initial snafu was witnessed. Rolling the front wheel with the springer forks was easy enough, but the farmer had heated and curved the back of the WLC's framework to make room for the Honda wheel to match. With more than one friend telling him to scrap it, Nick opted to maintain the classic frame and just get a little creative with the build.

In his words, "The drop seat concept happened when we cut the rear off. We used the whole original pipe work and chose to shape the backbone too. And so the frame was created. The toughest aspect was building the seat plunger to enable us to use a fresh seat dropped by a good few inches from stock. It required four hours with a hammer to remove the old seat post that had been fuse together by welding." At this point the tale goes stale. Right after owning the motorcycle in 2001 and getting the frame remolded, "biker needs" have won so, the old Harley Davidson was boxed up and shelved for yet another day. That day didn't arrive for another decade. At the beginning of 2011 the boxes were and prepared for work yet again.

Opening the 45-inch motor uncovered another amazing discovery. To Nick's delight, the inside was in good condition and with the crank split, the 70 year old oil spilled out. Looking thoroughly showed completely unmarked internals with matching numbers. After getting the complete stock 750cc flathead together, the Amal carburetor was reconstructed and installed with a velocity stack made from brass. The rest of the engine decorated with brass over fresh application and all oil and gas lines were made with hand bent copper tubing. The motorcycle was included with a battered and dirty clamshell exhaust. To cover up decades of punishment, the pipes were covered to conceal the imperfections plus a bend allows the pipe to kick up a little for additional style.

Nick said, "The gears are swapped by a smaller sized shifter we put together and yet runs trap clutch. All braking systems and clutch components are genuine as well as all the switch gear, levers, and cables. All parts were sourced as genuine or refurbished stock which would most likely be similar as Harley would've done 70 years ago. The motorcycle ignites on the 1st or 2nd kick not to mention the hill brake is working, well, sort of."

Bodywork was not overdone and brings a classic look, but that is when the resemblances stop. The back fender started life as a triumph piece that had been modified with a custom set of two struts and backed with a tail-light. Adding some across-the-pond design, the registration tag was made to look like a classic English pub signage. What would you anticipate from any self-respecting English bike builder? Looking deeper into the fuel tank, it becomes clear a little bit more effort was done.

Nick engineered and constructed the unit into two interlocking parts just as the original but with a little more flair and a curve more in line with the body tweaks. The seat moves from the frame supports to a spring inside the old seat post tube. All the rest of the parts are authentic '42 Harley WLC or new old stock. A deep black paint was applied most parts of the bike with gold accents meticulously applied by hand. To top this up is a vintage motorcycle helmet to carry out the WW II look of the bike.

Within two days of its 6 week conversion process, the '42 WLC was shown at the South of England Rally and came home with its very first trophy as winner of the Best Professional Category. Two weeks later it was displayed at the 25th anniversary of the Bulldog Custom show winning Best Classic. After stored in boxes for 10 years, Nick clearly understood that if he didn't took time to sit and work with the Harley, it would have been another decade for the bike to sit and wait. It started from an ordinary project into passion, and then turned into an obsession. Nick concludes, "It is a joy to drive a bike once you get used to it. I, for one, love it to death."

The Specific Advancement Associated With The Chopper

By Brian M. Sorensen


Many American soldiers who came back to the States after World War II were loyal to the Harley Davidson company but were not very happy with the new motorcycles that were introduced. They had observed motorcycles in Europe which were much more exciting and lightweight. Some of them wanted improvements to be made to the Harley Davidson collection of motorcycles. Consequently, the fenders on the bikes were shortened or removed altogether to lighten the load. Usually the front fender was removed, but the backside one was only shortened to keep the passenger protected from mud and water thrown up by the rear tire.

While customizations continued to be produced by riders, the chopper was born and the term bobber was coined. The original objective was to alter these bikes for dirt bike racing. The name chopper was derived from the fact that these riders chopped off everything they deemed unnecessary for the bike. Windshields, big bike seats, crash bars, big headlights and front fenders were all chopped off and removed. Forward-mounted foot pegs replaced the larger footrests, and the fuel tank was made smaller, which all made for a lighter bike.

The wheelbase belonging to the bike was improved by raking the front end which diminished the angle of the fork to the ground. The handlebars were also raised and they termed them ape hangers. Just about every rider was creating a bike totally the way in which they wanted and anything that was unnecessary or too big was removed or made smaller. The rear tire was made fat and the front side one was made small. Enterprising individuals began to fashion custom bikes and began building them to sell to those who didn't want to do the work themselves. When the trend caught on choppers began to be developed.

The craze for choppers slowed down for a few years, but lately it seems to have made a comeback. Choppers that happen to be custom built by the leading designers are prized greatly and in high demand. After the movie Easy Rider with Peter Fonda, choppers became particularly popular. Due to the chopper's global recognition, Harley Davidson released the Shovelhead FX Super Glide. Despite the fact that a number of people assume the chopper was built for aesthetics, there is a real performance advantage to the raked front end. Using high speeds, these motorcycles have a more steady feel than the original factory suspensions, but there is also a drawback. It is weightier and significantly less responsive at slower speeds and in curves.

If you want a motorcycle that has been transformed from its traditional design, then you should look into a chopper that has been hand-crafted from scratch. The handling of the motorcycle is far more challenging and the ride is bouncy, but these radical attributes are necessary to get the desired looks. You are going to discover that one style of chopper that is becoming popular is the low-rider with its low frame to ground clearance.

The Dyna Switchback from Harley-Davidson Review

By Darnell Austria


Lose weight quickly! BOGO! Just a few effective promoting and marketing words we think Harley could have easily incorporated into the promotional material to its most recently released model, the Switchback.

It seems everyone as well as their physical trainer are always looking for the newest trend to efficiently shed some pounds. Why not, losing a few pounds helps you look and feel better and you can move much faster and they're a bit more agile. Well, let's say we informed you there was a diet program where you could shed about 100 pounds without reducing your Big Mac take in or jogging one single mile? It's possible. Simply just go into your local Harley dealer and exchange that 812* pound Road King for a 718* pound Dyna Switchback. And best of all, with a price tag that plays around fifteen hundred dollars less expensive than a King, choosing the Switchback you're simply getting yourself a buy one take one value, considering the Switchback is basically two bikes in one.

Obviously the idea of two bikes in one is not a completely new concept from Harley by far; the factory has presented convertibles in the FXR, Dyna, and Softail families. What's special and different with regards to the Switchback is the fact that with its 41.3mm front-end, chrome front lights nacelle, 130mm front wheel, floorboards, tough saddle bags, and full swept FL-style fenders; it looks like from the Touring lineage and not simply a Dyna with hard bags and a windshield. Then when you peel off the windscreen and saddle bags, well, still it kind of looks like part of the Touring family, pretty much undressed, cleared up and more sexy.

As you lay on the saddle and cruise the highway it becomes clear this motorbike isn't the offspring of some plump sofa glide. It's agile and sturdy. I spent some time with the Switchback and everything in it from its external features and maneuvering to the performance, storage capacity, and flexibility pleased me.

The Harley engineers really did their homework when it came to setting up the suspension and steering to make certain the motorbike got the comfy and soft ride of a touring motorcycle, but the control and handling of the Dyna. The front-end geometry, tire specs, and suspension were all created to work together to give crisp and easy steerage.

Inside the big fork legs is a 20mm tube that helps deliver better damping, and at the rear is a set of two Nitrogen-charged mono tube back-end shocks with dual rate springs. The back shocks adjustable, which help make it quite easy to set up the rear suspension for solo, two-up, or loaded up riding. Back to the front, a 130mm Dunlop provides a nice steady footprint and bombing across the road, but the low profile design of the wheel can help get the motorcycle over and in and out of sharp comfortably.

The one thing I definitely observed was that compared to the members under the Touring models which can sometimes bring unwanted feedback in the form of shaking when ticked-off by inconsistencies in the road at top speeds and quick curves, the Switchback was solid from tire to tire at over the top speeds, tight sharp turns, and once loaded up and leaned over in high-speed sweepers. Even tough I gave the mini ape handlebars the right push while cruising straight down the route, the motorbike continuously retained its line without the rear becoming squirrelly or needing time to quiet down.

Driven by the 103ci engine and backed by the 6 speed transmission, the Switchback goes to the spot where you want it, facing that big rig, easily. Granted it's not going to break any kind of speed records, but with the saddle bags fully jam-packed and a touring bag strapped to a baggage carrier, I am able to comfortably slip through slow-moving traffic on inclines without having to drop it down into the fifth. Weighing in 43 pounds lighter compared to the Heritage Softail Classic (761* pounds), and only 12 pounds heavier than the second heaviest Dyna, the Fat Bob (706* pounds), the Switchback is easy to fold back kickstand but not so hefty which slows down the efficiency or potential of its triple digit displacement engine. Bolted to the right side of its rubber secured engine is a chrome 2-into-1 straight cut exhaust that offers a decent note and gives the motorbike a lot more of over all appearance and not the dual traditional look available on most touring models. And unlike the Touring models which have tailpipe system secured to the rear of the saddle bag sustains, Harley engineers designed the back exhaust hanger clump to mount the back of the drive train and to actually move while using drive train. With overall weight a main concern, Harley opted for an aluminum rear end hanger bracket as opposed to metal.

Slowing down or arriving at a quick stop is assisted by a 4 piston set front caliper and 300mm regular expansion floating rotor, with a two-piston torque-free rear end caliper getting down on a 292mm rotor. The bike I tested had the Security Package Option which bundles the Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) together with the Smart Security System.

The Switchback looks like it could be the Road King's younger brother because the King has been a crowd favorite within Harley-Davidson collectors. The measurements of the motorbike are perfect along with the saddle bags being about 25 percent smaller than a regular FLT saddle bag and a 4.7-gallon tank and not 6-gallon tank that comes with the King. Even though the bags are smaller sized, I was able to pack in them a jumper, a few shirts, a tool roll, and a video camera in one bag alone, by installing a sissy bar or maybe a baggage rack and adding a sizable travel bag and hooked up my motorcycle helmet on the side, I'm able to pack just enough gear with me on a two-week road trip.

Street Motorcycle Fairings: What Is It All About?

By Lori Buenavista


You might know very well what fairings are and that your motorbike decorates them. Nevertheless, have you ceased to inquire yourself what these types of fairings are made of? Some people have no idea that the material that is normally utilized to create the front fairing is called the Acrylonitrile butadiene Styrene (ABS).

ABS is often a variety of plastic-type material which is widely used in bike racing and sports motorcycles. It is because its typically very lightweight, flexible and strong-making its a somewhat minimal risk windshield. At the same time, its commonly damage resilient and shields drivers from flying debris. Due to the fairly powerful composition, these types of front fairings do not break on low force impact. Motorcyclists, for a multitude of factors, have used fairings for quite a while. Many make use of them to boost aerodynamic resistance to the wind and others to boost performance.

As these sources develop, fairings have become a lot more effective in reducing the impact of weather conditions on the ride of a sport bike. ABS originates its durability from one of the major components, Acrylonitrile, which is well-known because of its sturdiness. As part of street motorcycle fairings, ABS was created to ensure maximum safety if the street motorcycle driver be involved in an accident of any form. Even so, it shouldn't be forgotten that like other fairings, ABS remains to be vulnerable and can be easily damaged throughout an crash of considerable strength. Precisely how are ABS plastics produced? This is accomplished in only two ways: probably through injection molds in which ABS plastic material is dissolved before being put in a shape cavity under consistent force so as the material can shrink.

It is later able to with standard depth. In pressure molds, preheating occurs due to the keeping of the plastic material in a heated up cavity with the utilization of pressure up until the pattern is treated. Whereas making a plastic fairing, pressure is not the best simply because that your plastic material won't be uniform as it would be in ABS. Another materials used in the manufacture of fairings is fibreglass, which, as the name suggests, could be the item of woven components.

Fibreglass is really helpful with regards to reinforcing many other materials employed in creating fairings. However, fiberglass items are not only the most frequent in the local markets. Eventually, some fairings are made from carbon fiber strengthened polymer. These types of fairings are the lightest and most preferable. Try to ask a specialist dealer of aftermarket fairings in case you have to have one.

The Benefits: Buying All American Made Items from a Motorcycle Superstore

By Darnell Austria


As being a motorcycle aficionado; we shop supplies for our bikes. We all have our preferred motorcycle superstore were most motorcycle goods like accessories from half helmets, garments, seat covers and much more. These products and services can make a big difference if they're all-American made. Being a motorbike enthusiast and a purchaser, you should know why we ought to buy products that are made in the U.S.A. Given that people ride motorcycles which represent the American spirit, we should know why this will be relevant to all of us.

Yet over these last 15 years, precisely how has the blue collar workforce been troubled by our government's policies and lack of undivided attention relative to our manufacturing base? So as a society builds up and the "quality of life" elevates, occupational emphasis will switch from production to providers. This basically usually means we find ourselves in jobs in areas like trading, banking, science, healthcare, education and learning, and mass media. Developed countries will conduct this since they have established companies and employees, and look to other nations around the world for development. In a way, we are enabling the other guys carry out the work. It's much harder to produce and market to the world if a large number of nations are a half step behind you. Your costs and income will be affected. But when lesser developed countries carry out the production, at lowered salary mind you, and the goods are imported for sale to the world, outstanding earnings are realized. Additionally the service sector, and easily a society provides wealth and success; in theory at least.

Most likely the US is definitely the first society to delve so deeply in to this period of development. Several sociologists and economists are rethinking the practices of post-industrial society. At almost the same period the United States began to recognize the great things about becoming a service driven culture, the employees saw big cuts, layoffs, and lack of employment. As our careers and production were outsourced, numerous recently generating employees were left without employment. This, coupled with some very doubtful banking choices, pushed everyone in to a global recession. The idea that a modern society can survive on a primarily service driven workforce has been tried at the least, and debatably laid off. While there are literally hundreds, or even thousands, of additional factors that have already gotten our financial system in the mess it's in, outsourcing is undoubtedly one of the biggest, and one that strikes the working man the hardest. For Fifteen years the US lost manufacturing jobs. Fifteen straight years!

In 1997, we added 304,000 job opportunities to our plants and production facilities. In 2011, we saw our first increase, as we put 136,000 professionals back in their boots. This is very good news, albeit a humble advancement. We have lots of ground to make up, as we lost about 2.9 million jobs during the 2001-2003 economic collapse and another 2.5 between 2007 and 2009. The good thing is we are likely to add another 330,000 work opportunities this year, as outlined by economists. Remember Ford Motor Company? They are the US auto maker that did not accept a government bailout. Ford is adding 7,000 jobs within the next two years alone. As outlined by US jobs' data, our manufacturing jobs average about $22/hour. That's close to twice the average of the service sector. So yes, you will need to work a little bit harder, however the compensation is worth it.

In 1997, the US employed 16,888,000 workers within the manufacturing sector. In December 2011, there have been 11,816,000 utilized in manufacturing careers. While there are various favourable indicators leading quite a few financial experts to think our manufacturing base will show us the way to recovery, this can be a tricky path. As manufacturing here on our home turf will become more competitive, automation and more useful means of production greatly reduce costs and at times employment. Over the third quarter of 2011, US manufacturing output progressed by 7.1% from the same time frame one year earlier, but hours laboured grew only 3%. Many American firms are going forward with careful attention, looking to boost automation and making use of temp businesses to stop upcoming layoffs, severance, and acquisition expenditures.

As we have opined quite a few instances in the past, holding the government out of US business is a great way to strengthen production. Tax incentives to American firms and fair tariffs may also raise exports and level out the amount of imports. And before you say that both of those measures really are government effort, be sure that reducing the tax burden on business and assuring commodities imported are held to the same expectations as our exports, is not government interference. Many US businesses happen to be benefiting from new tax breaks and power savings. Maybe our unbelievably high gas prices will work in our favour. Distribution products from abroad or trucking them in from Mexico or Canada is a lot more expensive than shipping from facilities found throughout the US. Manufacturers of large products like appliances and heavy machines have weighed the cost of shipping against greater wages and decided to provide jobs back in the US. Caterpillar is constructing a large factory in Texas right now to service the US instead of shipping from Japan.

Most importantly, the power of change is within our hands. However we could make changes at the ballot box this year, however even bigger changes can be made each day, as we all Buy American. A lot of us rely on manufacturing for our income and we never realize it. It has been said that every production job generates eight more assistance work opportunities: truck drivers, accountants, secretaries, operations, a variety of jobs are wanted when Americans are producing. Perhaps not you, however, your girlfriend, your brother, your closest friend, somebody you know is going to be affected if you chose not to Buy American. In the end it will influence everyone. Let's leave those big all-night discount store parking lots clean. Point out that until finally they help Americans, we will never support them. Vote with the American financial state at heart. Buy a few fewer products, but buy good quality US crafted items. Let's take the subsequent 15 years and get back to where we were. Let's stabilize development and service. There is certainly room for us to carry out both, and also so many other nations. If we don't, we are going to expire as a society.

The Advancement Associated With The Chopper

By Irmgard Tollman


After World War II, when the American troops returned home, they continued to be loyal to the Harley Davidson company, but they were not satisfied with their new motorcycles. A lot of them enjoyed riding more exciting and lightweight motorcycles found in Europe. Actually being educated in the service to fix automobiles and motorcycles, they wanted improvements made. To lessen the weight of the bikes, the fenders were shortened or eliminated completely. Although the back fender was shortened so that mud and water wouldn't splatter up from the tires, the front fender was completely removed.

Because of this, the expression bobber was spawned and the chopper was created as motorcycle enthusiasts made efforts to customize the bikes. The objective would be to use these custom made motorcycles for dirt bike racing. Any component that the riders thought were needless was chopped off, and this process of chopping is where the term chopper came from. Parts that were typically chopped off incorporate big seats, crash bars, windshields, headlights and front fenders. The motorcycles grew to be lighter because fuel tanks got smaller and large footrests were taken out and replaced with forward-mounted foot pegs.

The incline of the fork to ground level was decreased by raking the front end of the bike which increased the bike's wheelbase. The phrase ape hangers was coined when the handlebars were heightened. Every single rider was developing a bike totally the way they wanted and anything that was unnecessary or too big was removed or made smaller. The rear tire was created fat and the front side one was made small. There were numerous riders who began to modify these bikes and sell them to others who did not want to do the work themselves. The popularity of choppers continued to increase just as more and more were being made.

For quite some time, choppers fell out of style but have recently made a comeback. Many people happen to be pursuing choppers that are custom built by the world's top designers. Right after the film Easy Rider with Peter Fonda, choppers became particularly popular. The Shovelhead FX Super Glide made by Harely Davidson was a reply to the popularity of the chopper. The chopper is a lot more than simply appearance since the raked front end actually does improve performance. Any time going at high speeds, the chopper feels more stable while traveling than the original factory suspension, but there is one drawback to this. It is heavier and less responsive at slow speeds and in curves.

If you need a motorcycle that has been modified from its traditional design, then you should look into a chopper that has been hand-crafted from scratch. Even though they may not be easy to ride in a number of situations, they do look very impressive. You are going to discover that one style of chopper that is becoming popular is the low-rider with its low frame to ground clearance.

What Exactly Do You Comprehend About The Porsche Vehicle?

By Tyrone Fineberg


It's unlikely that you haven't heard of the Porsche automobile; you may even have enjoyed a ride in one, or just perhaps there's one of them parked in your driveway. But you are quite possibly unfamiliar with the history of Porsche. With the story of the Porsche automobile, it is hard to say what the true beginning was. In 1948 the world for the first time discovered a motor vehicle by the name of Porsche, and two years later, in 1950, the Porsche 356 was introduced in the United States by Max Hoffman. For the traditions and philosophy of Porsche to be understood, you will certainly need to go back to 1875, when a son was born in the house of a tinsmith in Haffersdorf, a Bohemian village.

He was named Ferdinand Porsche, and even though his technical genius wasn't thought to have the necessary discipline for the skills of engineering. He received part-time education as an engineering student in Vienna, for his only formal education, but at the age of 25, he became an automobile designer. He was a brilliant engineer, but headstong, as he became connected with all of the leading car manufacturers in Germany, at one time or another. A dozen of the most technically important cars of all time were designed by Porsche. The SSK line, produced with his aide while he worked for Mercedez-Benz, remains one of the most awe-inspiring ever.

Porsche launched an engineering consultation group, later known as Porsche AG, after having to leave Mercedes. He couldn't get along with their engineering policies, so he was dismissed. He established a group with a few engineers he cherry-picked, with a special interest in racing cars and sports cars. Their expertise were in high demand, with the high end sedan from Austria, the Steyr, being one of their projects. It never managed to get past the prototype phase. Auto Union, who later evolved into the present-day Audi, ended up being the first to develop cars that had front-wheel drive and were relatively cheap to own, and they also called on the skills of the Porsche consulting group.

The V-12 engine, and the V-16, which were supercharged, were put together by them for the mid-engine Grand Prix racing cars. Auto racing on the European circuit ended up being dominated by them, in conjunction with the Mercedes-Benz racer, for a period of nearly ten years. For the period following that both Zundapp and NSU used the designs they were best known for. The rear-mounted engine, along with the branded torsion-bar suspension, were a small number of Porsche's prototypes. Given that the two companies didn't move on the designs fast enough for Porshe, he got the German government to buy the concept. The creation of his design eventually happened at Wolfsburg, in a manufacturing plant the building of which was supervised by Porsche. The entire world got to know it as the Volkswagen Beetle, but he described it simply as the Type 60 on his blueprints.

Now it is more than a 100 years later, and the Porsche engineering company has left its mark on the automobile industry. Automobile design and engineering have benefitted from the long lasting and exceptional contribution of the Porsche family.

The History of The Chopper

By Adam Owens


Following World War II, when the American troops returned home, they stayed loyal to the Harley Davidson company, but they were not satisfied with their new motorcycles. A lot of them encountered riding more exciting and lightweight motorcycles seen in Europe. Being schooled in the service to fix automobiles and motorcycles, they wanted improvements made. To reduce the weight of the bikes, the fenders were shortened or eliminated completely. The front side fender was taken away and the rear one shortened to minimize mud and water splatter from the rear.

Because of this, the expression bobber was coined and the chopper was created as motorcycle enthusiasts made efforts to customize the bikes. To use with dirt bike racing was their original purpose. Any element that the riders believed were needless was chopped off, and this process of chopping is where the term chopper came from. Pieces that were often chopped off include big seats, crash bars, windshields, headlights and front fenders. The fuel tanks were designed smaller and large footrests were replaced with forward-mounted foot pegs which made the cycles lighter.

The incline of the fork to ground level was reduced by raking the front end of the bike which increased the bike's wheelbase. The handlebars were also raised and so they named them ape hangers. Every rider was making a bike that was uniquely their own by making modifications and improvements where necessary. The front tire started to be smaller and the rear end tire became fat. There were a number of riders who began to alter these bikes and sell them to others who did not want to do the work themselves. A growing number of choppers were being manufactured as the demand grew.

The fad for choppers slowed down for many years, but fairly recently it seems to have made a comeback. Choppers built by top manufacturers receive a high price. The chopper became increasingly popular after it was noticed in the film Easy Rider. Out from the chopper revolution emerged the Shovel head FX Super Glide, which was one of the Harley Davidson models. While the idea that the chopper was more for exhibit, there is actually an improved performance in the raked front end. When going at high speeds, the chopper feels more stable on the highway than the original factory suspension, but there is one drawback to this. It is bulkier and significantly less responsive at low speeds and in curves.

A hand-crafted chopper created from scratch may perhaps be good to obtain if you want something that is unique and custom built. The management of the motorcycle is a lot more challenging and the ride is rough, but these radical attributes are necessary to get the desired looks. The low-rider appearance having its low frame to ground clearance, is one particular look that is becoming more popular.
