ʻO Harley Davidson Vrsca V-Rod

ʻO ke kakahiaka i kēia manawa. He kanahā makahiki ma hope o ka hanana i wehewehe ʻia. Aia wau ma Kaleponi. Ma ke ala kaʻawale ma ka ʻākau o Los Angeles. Ma waenakonu o kahi kolamu i hohola ʻia. Ma ka Harley. ʻAʻole, ʻaʻole, ʻaʻole wau me Angela - hoʻopuni ʻia wau e nā hoa nūpepa. Akā, ua kokoke loa ka noʻonoʻo ma ʻaneʻi i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo. No laila, aia ʻoe i kahi hui me Hel... ʻAe, ua lawa. Puhi mai ka lā e hiki mai ana i ke kukui chrome o Harleys i ko mākou hum ʻana ma mua o nā kaʻa e hele ana i nā mauna ʻo San Gabriel. A i ka maka o nā mea hoʻokele, ua like mākou me nā ʻānela.

Ua wāwahi ʻia ʻo Harley Davidson e ke kiʻi mokokaikala o nā kānaka ʻino a me nā kāne ʻino. A ma aneʻi i Kaleponi ʻo ia ka hihia, no laila hiki ke kuhihewa i kā mākou hui o ka poʻe nūpepa e ʻaahu ana i nā lākeke ʻili no kahi hui mokoka uila. Akā ʻeā, ʻoluʻolu ka holo ʻana o ka hui, keu hoʻi i kahi kaʻa e like me ka mea kupaianaha.

Kaha wau iā Harley V-Rod. Pāʻani nui wau me ia i kēlā kakahiaka. Ua lohi wau i hope o ka hui, a laila ua loaʻa iā ia. Eia hou, ʻo ka lua o ka manawa aʻu i leʻaleʻa ai i ka holo a hoʻokau i nā manaʻo hedonistic. Me koʻu mau lima i luna i ka hoʻokele o ka pā V hou a aneane kīloi koʻu mau wāwae, manaʻo wau hiki iaʻu ke moeʻuhane.

Pololei kēlā, ua hana ʻo Harley Davidson i kekahi mau mokokaikala kamahaʻo i ka wā i hala, akā ʻaʻole like me ka V-Rod hou. Manaʻo ka poʻe ʻAmelika i ka V-Rod, e like me ka Model K, ka mea i ʻike i ka mālamalama o ka lā i ka makahiki 1951, ʻo ia ka mea hoʻohālike nui loa. Kekahi ʻano pōhaku palena.

ʻOiai ʻike ʻia ka poʻe Yankees e aloha nui e hoʻonui (ʻaʻole paha i panakalupa ka mea kanu ma muli o ka holo pono ʻole o ka Harley hou, i kū ʻia i XNUMX inā i hāʻule ʻole lākou me ka mīkini Evolution), kuhikuhi ka ʻōlelo i ka mea nui. k modelkohu hou. Manaʻo wau ʻaʻole ʻo Arlen Ness ponoʻī e hilahila i ka ʻili alumini a hoʻopōkole i nā kukui kukui, ka nui o hope, nā huila piha a me kahi motika i hana nani ʻia.

Hōʻike ʻia ke kiʻi i ka puʻuwai kaʻa ʻokoʻa ke kani ʻana ma mua o nā mea a mākou i maʻa ai me nā ʻenekini māhoe māhoe Milwaukee. ʻO 1130 cc, ʻewalu mau pahu V-twin a me 115 horsepower ka wehewehe ʻana o ka moʻo hou, ʻoi aku ka ikaika a me ka ikaika o kēia moʻolelo ʻAmelika. Ua ʻike ʻia ka ʻenekini ponoʻī no kekahi manawa, ʻoiai ʻo ia ka puʻuwai o ka ʻenekini e hoʻokele i ka Harley VR1000 heihei kaʻa i ka American Superbike Series.

I ka wehe ʻana o ka V-Rod i kiaʻi nui ʻia, ua haʻi mai nā poʻe ma Harley iā mākou he puʻuwai ko ka superbike, he kiʻi o ke kuʻuna a me ka ʻuhane o kahi cruiser.

Harley ʻaʻole maopopo iā mākou

Ma Harley, e hoʻohana maoli lākou i nā hōʻailona hoʻolālā hou o ka V-Rod hou. ʻO ka alumini a me ka chromium ka mea nui. ʻO V-Rod kekahi o kēlā mau mīkini kahi aʻu e mahalo ai i ka laina a me ka hoʻopau ʻana o ke kiʻi, nā pihi o nā paipu hoʻopau, ke kukui maʻamau a i ʻole nā ​​kikoʻī i hoʻopau maikaʻi ʻia ma ka dashboard. ʻIke maopopo ʻia kēia mai ka noho haʻahaʻa a me ka noho wāwae.

ʻO ka pahu wahie kulu e like me ka pahu BSA Gold Star, akā ʻaʻole ia he ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻoiai hūnā ʻia ke keʻena kānana ea ma lalo o ia. Noho ka pahu wahie maoli ma lalo o ka noho a paʻa i kahi 15 liters o ka wahie haʻahaʻa. ʻO ka wili wili kahi 1713 millimeter keu, 75 milimika ʻoi aku ma mua o ka momona momona, no ka laʻana. ʻO ke kūlana o ka mea kalaiwa he ʻano maʻamau o ka cruiser, me ka huila i luna a i lalo a me nā wāwae wāwae i mua o ka poloka ʻenekini.

Ke hoʻomaka ʻo ia i ke kaʻa, ua akāka loa iaʻu ʻaʻole kēia ka Harley aʻu e ʻike ai. ʻO ka 60-kekelē V-ʻenekini anuanu me ka lepili Revolution i ʻoi aku ka lahilahi a ʻoi aku ka mālie o ka mīkini ma mua o ka block Harley 45-degree maʻamau. ʻO ke kani mai nā tailpipe, i hoʻohālikelike ʻia i kahi ʻōnaehana ʻelua-ʻelua, ʻoluʻolu a māʻona i nā gourmets me kahi leo kikoʻī ma ke ʻano maʻamau. Eia nō naʻe, inā lako ka paikikala me kahi pahu Screamin 'Eagle, a laila ʻo ia ke kani o ka lole wāwae haehae.

ʻO ke kuʻi ʻana i ka lepe throttle ʻoiai ke hoʻokele ʻo ia hoʻi aia ka makaʻu o ka V-bar e pili iā ʻoe i ka noho. Ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe, hoʻopōkole nā ​​puhaka ʻo Dunlop i ke ola o ka papa ma ka waiho ʻana i kahi kapuaʻi mānoanoa ma ke kahua. A laila nalowale nā ​​ʻōlelo mua a nalowale nā ​​kānalua. Huki mālie ka ʻenekini nui a me ka pane maikaʻi loa i ka hoʻopili ʻana o ka wahie ma loko o ka pae hana holoʻokoʻa me ka ʻole o nā pilikia i ka huki ʻana e like me kahi locomotive, ʻoiai ma nā haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa a ma 80 mau kilomika i kēlā me kēia hola.

Ua ʻākoakoa kekahi pūʻulu nūpepa ma mua o ka hoʻāʻo ʻana i ke kaʻa no ka ʻike inā he mea kūikawā maoli ka Harley hou. Akā ʻokoʻa nā lā hoʻāʻo mai ka mea a mākou i maʻa mau ai ma Harley. Ua lawa lākou i ke ahi, ua ʻae ʻia mākou e puhi i nā huila hope a hoʻāʻo i ke kaupaku o Harley ma ke ala holo - me ka wikiwiki o 220 mau kilomita i kēlā me kēia hola. Ma hope o nā hoʻokolohua, ua hilinaʻi mākou i nā loli.

Hoʻopaʻa ʻia ka hana maʻemaʻe o ka ʻenekini e kahi kumu kaulike, a ʻoiaʻiʻo hoʻi, ʻaʻole i hoʻopaʻa ʻia nā haʻalulu - ua lawa wale lākou i mea e hoihoi ai ka hihia a ʻaʻole hopohopo. I ka manawa like, hiki iā ʻoe ke noʻonoʻo i ka hana maikaʻi loa i hana ʻia, ʻo ia ka hopena o ka hoʻoikaika ʻana o nā ʻenekini Harley Development Center a me nā limahana Porsche i komo i ka papahana. ʻO kaʻu hoʻopiʻi wale nō ʻo ke kaumaha loa o ka pahu pahu, a ua loaʻa iaʻu ka pane he 50 pakeneka o nā pūnāwai i hoʻohana ʻia i nā kaʻa hoʻāʻo he nui loa a ʻaʻole loa e loaʻa kēia pilikia i nā kaʻa hana hana.

Kupaianaha ka ʻikepili

Kūpono ka V-Rod i kahi pilikia maoli ke huli mākou i kahi ala mauna i hana ʻia me ka hui pū o nā huli. ʻO ka mea kupaianaha, hiki iā Harley ke mālama ʻia ma laila pū kekahi. ʻOiai i nā wikiwiki haʻahaʻa, hoʻohuli au iā ia me ka maʻalahi, no laila ke ʻoki nei wau i ke anapā me nā wāwae wāwae. ʻLelo ʻia, pono wau e hoʻokākala i kona kino paʻa a paʻa hoʻi, a hoʻomaikaʻi no ka hoʻomaha ʻana: ua palupalu ia e ʻoluʻolu, akā paʻa paʻa i ka manawa like. ʻO ka mea mākaʻikaʻi wale nāna e ʻaki i nā potholes i nā noho haʻahaʻa a me nā kui swingarm i loaʻa kekahi mau pilikia me kēia.

ʻO kahi moʻolelo kūikawā ka mālama ʻana i ke kaʻa kaʻa, he mea kū hoʻokahi. Ma laila, ma ke ala mauna, ua like ka Harley me he i'a i loko o ka wai, no laila, he mea le'ale'a ka holo ana me ka V-bar, 'oiai he 38° ke alo o ka mua a he pōkole kona kupuna 99mm. I ka manawa like, pono e haʻi aku i nā makaʻu o kekahi mau hoa hana i ʻōlelo ʻo ke kaʻa kaʻa i ka huli i kekahi manawa huki i ka honua. ʻAʻole i loaʻa iaʻu ʻoiai ua hoʻāʻo wau i ʻekolu huila V ʻokoʻa. ʻAʻohe pilikia me nā kaʻa. ʻAʻohe mea kānalua ua maikaʻi loa nā paiki ʻehā mau pahu caliper, e like me nā huila radial D207 nui e pili pono ana i ka papahele Kaleponi.

Hāʻawi ʻia i ke kūlana elongated o ka mea hoʻokele, kūpono paha ka manaʻo o kahi kiaʻi pahu titanium ma ke ʻano he mea kōkua. Ua nui kēia, no ka mea, uhi ʻia ma kahi o 75 mau mea: mai ka aniani i ka backrest no ka mea kaʻa a me nā ʻeke.

E maʻalahi ka laulā o nā lakohana i ke ola no nā mea hou o Harley hou, nā mea e unuhi e pili ana i ka nui like no kahi V-Rod hou e like me kā lākou e unuhi ai no nā kumu ʻo Big Twin pipiʻi loa. Ua hoʻomaka ʻo Harley Davidson e pāʻani i kahi pāʻani ʻokoʻa me ka hoʻolauna ʻana i kahi motoka uila hou me ka wai me kahi ʻano i hoʻololi maoli ʻia.
