The Monster Motorbike.


Monday (23/07/2012)

a)      The Monster Motorbike.
l       After Wushu lesson, we immediately got hold of our Wushu teacher so that he could share about his bike. We then discussed and make comparisons to Teacher Yap’s normal motorbike.
A normal motorbike.
* RM5 per full petrol tank.
* It has manual starter using foot energy to start the engine.
* Only a piston; thus not that powerful.
* Smaller battery and engine.
* A smaller seat.
* The tyres are not narrower; sufficient for the motorbike’s weight.
* Teacher Yap has a container at its back seat to keep her helmet.

A Monster Bike.
* RM18 per full petrol tank.
* It has automatic starter.
* It has 2 pistons in its engine; thus more powerful.
* It has bigger battery and engine.
* The seat is bigger and more comfortable.
* The tyres are broader and more stable.
* Wushu teacher wears a covered helmet and a fluorescent vest for safety measure.
* Its headlight is bigger.

b)      Motorbike (Motorcycle) Evolution.
l       The early bicycles were known as Boneshakers. 1885 marked the first motorbike invented by Daimler. It looked similar to a bicycle except that it has a small engine powered by petrol. However, most of it was wooden made. Thus, it wasn’t comfortable and its engine wasn’t that of good quality.
l       In 1900, Thomas motorbike included a motor which improved the motorbike journey.
l       The 1918 motornbike was more popular because the engine was easier to maintain.
l       The 1920 was Indian Daytona Twin and was one of the fastest racing motorbikes at that time.
l       The 19306Harley-Davidson was the favourite monster motorbike because of its design and comfort.
l       Other bikes: Indian Chief which had a bigger passenger seat by the side, Motorcross motorbikes and also scooters which were favourites among ladies.
