Manaʻo W3

I loko o ka hale kokoke i ka hale hana, ʻike wau i kahi ʻāpana o ka mōʻaukala mokokaikala. Hoʻohanohano ko Jim hōʻiliʻili iā Vincent Black Shadow, kahi Honda CB 750 a me kēlā holoholona huila ʻekolu a Jim i holo ai ma Lake Bonneville i kahi moʻolelo honua o 534 km / h. he exotic lākou.

ʻOkoʻa nā mea holo moana nui mai ka V-māhoe maʻamau. ʻO kēia nā laʻana mua o ka Fueling W3, kekahi o nā motika motika loa i hiki ke kūʻai i kēia manawa. Kupaianaha lākou ke hoʻohālikelike ʻia i nā mea hou a Jim i hana ai. ʻEleʻele a kau ʻia me ka helu 1 no ka mea hoʻokani Larry Hagman. ʻAʻole ʻoe i ʻike? Ua pāʻani ʻo ia i kēia keiki kāne ma Dallas TV Lemonade a ua koho ʻia he ʻeleʻele no kēia.

ʻO W3 kahi papahana i hoʻokumu mua ʻia ma ke ʻano he hui pū me Harley Davidson. Ma ka hale hana, ua nānā pono lākou i ka mea a Feuling e hana ai me kā lākou Twin Cam 88 ʻelua pahu pahu. hānau.

Me he mea lā ua ʻike ʻo ia i kona home ma ka laina hana ʻo Milwaukee, akā ua maʻalili koke nā luna Harley. Noho maloʻo ʻo Jim no laila ua hoʻolālā hou ʻo ia i ka generator a hāʻawi iā ia i kona inoa ma kahi o ka hōʻailona Harley. Eia nō naʻe, ua mau ka hoʻolālā kumu o ka ʻāpana - he ʻekolu-cylinder ʻokoʻa, me ka nui o 2500 cubic centimeters a me ka mana o 156 horsepower.

I loko o ka ʻāpana, pono ka nānā ʻana i ka hoʻolālā ʻana o Jim i ʻekolu lāʻau hoʻohui. ʻO ka mea nui ke koʻokoʻo hoʻohui o ka cylinder waena, aia ma ka mokulele hoʻokahi me ʻelua mau mea hou aʻe (no nā cylinders mua a me hope) ma ka crankshaft. He mea kupanaha ka hoʻonā ʻana me ka hoʻolālā ʻana o kahi mīkini mokulele radial.

Hoʻohui ʻo Jim iā ia iho i nā ʻāpana nui o ka ʻenekini Harley, a i ʻole he mea maʻamau ke kaʻa kaʻa i hoʻolako maikaʻi ʻia. Hana ʻia ke kiʻi me nā paipu kila, ʻo ka pahu wahie ka hana a Rob North, nāna i pena i ka Triumphu Speed ​​​​Triple frame. Hoʻonohonoho ʻia ka fork Storz/Ceriani i mua ma 30 degere, ʻo ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana i ka holomua i hāʻawi ʻia i ʻelua mau haʻalulu hope, a ʻo nā rims a me nā pahu he Performance Machine.

Ke hoʻā wau, ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o ka leo ma mua o ka mea i manaʻo ʻia - e like me ka Harley me kahi leo paʻakikī. ʻAe, hiki iaʻu ke lohe i ka Ducati ma hope? Malia paha, akā ʻaʻole kēia mea i hana ʻia ma lalo oʻu he haʻuki. ʻO ka W3 ka lōʻihi e like me ka moku holo moku Pōʻakahi, me kahi huila a me kēlā kaumaha nui.

ʻOiai ka nui o kona nui, ʻaʻole nui ka W3 e hoʻokele. Ke huli pono wau me ka ʻoiaʻiʻo i ke kala, ʻaneʻane wau e lawe ʻia aku mai ka holoholona. I nā kahe o lalo, lele wikiwiki ʻo Feuling me ka mana nui, a ke puhi nei i ka puhi hope o Avon, ʻoiai kona lōʻihi, hoʻoweliweli ia e hāpai i ka huila o mua. E manaʻoʻiʻo mai iaʻu, me ka ʻāpana o 200 Nm mai 2000 a 5500 rpm, ʻaʻole poina ia ʻano ʻano. ʻO ka manaʻo like o ka wikiwiki ma kahi o 200 km i kēlā me kēia hola.

ʻAʻole kēia he mea maʻamau no W3 a ʻoi aku hoʻi ma mua o ia. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Jim hiki ke kiʻi maʻalahi i ke keke i 235 km i kēlā me kēia hola, a me ka lakio hoʻololi ʻia a me kahi mea kalaiwa me nā hua kila, hiki ke hōʻeleu i 300 km i kēlā me kēia hola. Kūlike ʻole i kaʻu mau mea i manaʻo ai, maikaʻi loa nā kuʻi mua a me hope, e like me ke kūpaʻa. ʻĀ, ma ka liʻiliʻi a 150 mau mile i kēlā me kēia hola.

Ma nā kihi, ua hauʻoli wau i ka pane ʻana o ka W3, me ka nānā ʻole ʻana i kahi haʻalulu liʻiliʻi, a ʻo nā pahu hilinaʻi loa ka ʻāpana maikaʻi loa o ke kaʻa.

ʻAʻole holo kaʻaahi ʻo W3, eia naʻe ke nānā aku e like me kēlā, a ʻoiai ke kūlana ma luna ona e like me ka cruiser. Hoʻohālikelike au iā ia e noho ana ma kahi roketa ikaika loa i kūlike ʻole ʻole, lele e like me gehena, a he $ 40 ke kumu kūʻai. No ʻoe ka pahu kit $ 000.
