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.

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.
