Biker Song

Biker Song – Neil Young Unknown Legend

This is a true tribute to all women who ride! Live to ride, ride to Live!

This is an excellent example of great song writing. There is nothing complicated about it, yet it is haunting in it’s ability to make us feel something.


I guess most can relate to the spirit of the lyrics, and there are some classic lines – “I used to order just to watch her float across the floor” “The chrome and steel she rides, colliding with the very air she breaths” Neil Young at his best and if anyone thinks an uncomplicated song is therefore easy to write and get right – just try it.

Motorcycle Riding

Motorcycle Riding Video

Most will never know . . . nothing like riding a high powered motorcycle with some of your buddies.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

Motorcycling is riding a motorcycle. For some people, motorcycling may be the only affordable form of individual motorized transportation, and small-displacement motorcycles are the most common motor vehicle in the most populous countries, including India, China and Indonesia.

In developing countries, motorcycles are overwhelmingly utilitarian due to lower prices and greater fuel economy. Of all motorcycles, 58% are in the Asia Pacific and Southern and Eastern Asia regions, excluding car-centric Japan. Read more »

For many motorcycle riders, the chopper epitomizes individuality, sleek styling and naturally a true muscle machine. Choppers traditionally are not made for hairpin turns or acceleration off the line.

Choppers are made for in town-riding and cruising the highways usually no more than a couple of hundred miles from their garage. Now, with choppers being relatively just a couple of percent of the entire motorcycle population, their appearance on the highway, local motorcycle event or just the local biker bar always creates a lot of attention and admiration.

Y2K Jet Bike

Y2K Jet Bike

This jey bike has 350 horsepower and 475 lb-ft of torque, Jay Leno’s 1999 Y2K Jet Bike packs a lot of power, in a small package!

Coolest start-up sound. Needs to be in a superhero movie.

It’s not a jet (turbojet) engine, it’s a turboshaft engine. A jet engine produces thrust, this produces torque. Instead of the exhaust going through a nozzle and producing thrust, it drives a power turbine attached to an output shaft instead. Read more »

Harley-Davidson Engine History

Harley-Davidson Engine History

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

The classic Harley-Davidson engines are V-twin engines, with a 45° angle between the cylinders. The crankshaft has a single pin, and both pistons are connected to this pin through their connecting rods.

This 45° angle is covered under several United States patents and is an engineering tradeoff that allows a large, high-torque engine in a relatively small space. It causes the cylinders to fire at uneven intervals and produces the choppy “potato-potato” sound so strongly linked to the Harley-Davidson brand.

To simplify the engine and reduce costs, the V-twin ignition was designed to operate with a single set of points and no distributor. This is known as a dual fire ignition system, causing both spark plugs to fire regardless of which cylinder was on its compression stroke, with the other spark plug firing on its cylinder’s exhaust stroke, effectively “wasting a spark”. The exhaust note is basically a throaty growling sound with some popping. The 45° design of the engine thus creates a plug firing sequencing as such: The first cylinder fires, the second (rear) cylinder fires 315° later, then there is a 405° gap until the first cylinder fires again, giving the engine its unique sound.
