Motorcycles In The Military

The other day, I took the chance to watch again that fantastic movie 'The Great Escape'. As I watched Bud Ekins take the place of Steve McQueen, to jump the wire fence on his Triumph, I began to wonder about the role of the motorcycle during wartime, so I did a little reading and was surprised to find that motorcycles have played a huge part in military history. Being able to go where other vehicles couldn't, they became the modern day horses, with one great advantage; some bikes, such as the Enfield 'Flying Flea' or 'Airborne' as it was also known, could be parachuted from an aeroplane along with troops.

 Royal Enfield also supplied motorbikes to the British Armed Forces in World War 1, with machine gun-carrying combinations and stretcher-bearing motorcycles being made on demand. The company even won a contract to supply motorbikes to the Russians, and when most able bodied men were at war in Europe, a police force made up of women was issued with 600cc motorcycles.

 The Germans weren't slow in seeing the practicality of using two wheeled transport. BMW motorcycles were to prove invaluable in North Africa during World War 2. Not having a chain that could clog with sand, they were so successful that Harley-Davidson were requested by the US military to copy the machine, which they duly did and produced the Harley-Davidson XA. With the German war machine insatiable for motorcycles, BMW flourished during the war years.

 The American Army have been using motorcycles since 1913, with a third of all Harley-Davidson machines being produced for the military in 1917. In the Second World War the company produced 30,000 bikes for the Russians and also built machines for the Canadians. A total of 90,000 motorcycles were produced during the conflict. The Indian Motorcycle Company also produced machines such as the 'Scout' and 'Chief' during the war years, but weren't able to replace Harley Davidson as the motorcycle of choice.

 In Britain, the First World War provided work for the Triumph factory as production was concentrated on the war effort. More than 30,000 motorcycles, including the 'Model H Roadster' were turned over to the military. In World War 2, the Triumph factory was laid to waste by German bombs, along with most of Coventry, so production moved to a site near Meriden, also in the West Midlands area of England. Apart from building some 50,000 motorbikes during the war, Triumph also produced aircraft components.

 In 1950, the North Koreans, backed by China, were able to deploy a 'Motorcycle Reconnaissance' unit equipped with home produced bikes. Vietnam also saw the use of the military motorcycle, with 'Special Forces' employing motorbikes during that ill-fated conflict. In 1988, Vietnam Veterans took to the streets of Washington D.C. to create a two-wheeled convoy known as 'Rolling Thunder', in order to raise awareness of the suffering of the soldiers who did not return from the war. This has developed into an annual pilgrimage to the 'Vietnam Veterans Memorial'.

 'Operation Desert Storm' in 1991 again saw the deployment of motorcycles, and more recently, the manoeuvrability of two-wheeled transport proved invaluable in Afghanistan and Iraq. When the road ends, the motorcycle keeps on going. When the road doesn't end, the speed of a motorcycle is unchallenged. Accessibility and versatility have been key words associated with the role of military motorcycles since the outset.

 Now back to Steve McQueen, who was frowned upon by his bosses at the studio for spilling the beans about his stunt double, during 'The Johnny Carson Show'. When Johnny congratulated Steve on the motorcycle jump, Steve didn't hesitate in putting the record straight. It wasn't that Steve McQueen couldn't ride a bike, quite the contrary. In the scenes before the jump, he rode his own bike as Virgil Hilts, but the German riders couldn't keep pace with him, so wearing a German uniform, he took the role of a pursuing German, and through the magic of film editing, chased himself. So the next time you get the chance to see 'The Great Escape', look out for Steve McQueen chasing Steve McQueen. The motorcycle chase was actually McQueen's idea. The original script had Virgil Hilts attempting to escape by train, but when McQueen said to his director 'Hey John, I've got an idea that will put more juice into this', a small piece of movie and motorcycle history was born.

Pros And Cons Of The Mazda 626

For the market outside of its domain in Japan, Mazda produced the Mazda 626 family car. It was based on the Mazda Capella which was mainly sold in Japan. This new vehicle replaced the 616/618 and the RX-2 in 1979 and this was sold up until 2002. What took up the place of the Mazda 626 was the Mazda 6. In Asia, Australasia, and in Southern Africa, the Mazda 626 was sold under the name Ford Telstar.

 This vehicle made its first public appearance in 1979 as a rear wheel drive compact. It had a 75 hp 2.0 liter SOHC straight-4 G/MA engine that had automobile magazines comparing it to a BMW engine. The vehicle sported a split-folding rear seat that increased cargo capacity and flexibility to the maximum level. This vehicle has been a top seller since its production.

 In the year 1998, the Mazda 626 had gone through a dramatic change in its entirety. All models had either a five-speed manual transmission or the optional four-speed automatic. It had a wheelbase that was enlarged to two inches and the sedan type had 2.4 inches longer, and around a half inch wider. Along with that came the V6 engine that took traction control and engine mobilization to another level. From that time on, changes had been constantly done to the Mazda 626 to further improve its performance and user appeal.

 In 1999, the Mazda 626 experienced a shuffling of its equipments. Mazda dropped the base DX sedan and in its place added up a four-cylinder version of the top-line ES that came with trimmed leather. For all trim levels of the Mazda 626, keyless entry became a standard, along with variable-intermittent wipers, and a power antenna. The following year, this vehicle had an option list. The list included front side airbags, and ABS. Its four-cylinder engine gained five horsepower more. All trim levels held rear-seat heater ducts, and some of these levels had heated mirrors although others had this as an option. The final year for the Mazda 626 came in 2002 before it was entirely replaced by the new Mazda 6.

 Overall, the Mazda 626 held a quiet and refined stance. Its engine and wind noise were muffled well. It has a firm and absorbent ride quality. It holds a precise steering and good braking. It has large doorways that allows for an easy entrance or exit. It is a competitive vehicle when talking in terms of its visibility, driving, seating, and its dashboard layout. Its interior exudes a tasteful and understated look. It has roomy compartments within its dashboard and console and its map pockets.

 With years of combined experience in selling premium quality Mazda parts, Mazda Parts and Mazda Auto Parts has been the trusted and most reliable source of superb quality Mazda 626 parts and other Mazda parts.

 In a nutshell, the Mazda 626 suffers from road noise and a low performance of its automatic transmission. However, this is quickly dispersed by its V6 engine's perfect acceleration, quality steering and handling, and a superb build quality that only the Mazda 626 has to offer.

Mods for BMW

BMW makes a beautifully styled car with lots of horsepower under the hood! BMW was established as a business entity following a restructuring of the Rapp Motorenwerke aircraft manufacturing firm in 1917. After the end of World War I in 1918, BMW was forced to cease aircraft-engine production by the terms of the Versailles Armistice Treaty. The company consequently shifted to motorcycle production in 1923, once the restrictions of the treaty started to be lifted, followed by automobiles in 1928-29.

 The first car which BMW successfully produced and the car which launched BMW on the road to automobile production was the Dixi, it was based on the Austin 7 and licensed from the Austin Motor Company in Birmingham, England.

 Let's say you just bought a brand new 335i F30 and you want to make it special. What do you do? What would you guys recommend in order to achieve a tasteful car with more performance than stock?

 Our first thoughts would include a twin turbo conversion. The N55 engine used on the new F30 335i models replaced the twin-turbo engine used on the previous models, the N54, which is considered of the best engines to come out of the assembly lines of BMW (a variation of that engine was used on the 1M Coupe).

 I own a 94 325i, and just because they said it wasn't possible, I successfully triple charged it in three days of work. It'swell-built and even easier to disassemble if you know what your doing. The chassis is awesome for a 90s model. But I do recommend trailing arm bushing limiters. Stock bushings don't handle the track too well.

 The following is my F30 335i Sport Line build.

 The car is fully loaded, Jet black on black, with stock 19's. This thread is from start to current and I will update as I proceed with the modifications. Any wheel/exhaust/spring companies in the industry looking to represent and sponsor a great car, you've found the spot .

 Current Mods: - Black Grills - 20% tint - Custom LTBMW 1M style bumper w Slek CRT Carbon Fiber lip

 Future: - Full exhaust with Quad tips (preferably Meistechaft GT Haus GTC) - Carbon fiber diffuser - Lowering springs (Einbach/H&R/KW help me out!) - Wheels (Adv.1, HRE, Morr, etc. Need help from you guys too!) - Trunk spoiler

 BMW offers 49 models with EU5/6 emissions norm and nearly 20 models with CO2 output less than 140 g/km, which puts it on the lowest tax group and therefore could provide the future owner with eco-bonus offered from some European countries.

 In June 2012, BMW was listed as the #1 most reputable company in the world by Forbes.com. Rankings are based upon aspects such as -people's willingness to buy, recommend, work for, and invest in a company is driven 60% by their perceptions of the company and only 40% by their perceptions of their products.

 Rebecca Satine has been in the automotive industry for over a decade, she currently manages an Auto Recycling Facility in Texas and is passionate about a greener planet though the use of used auto parts.

German Vehicles Comparison BMW Vs. Mercedes

German cars have long been recognized as some of the best engineered and most luxurious cars in the world. Two manufacturers, BMW and Mercedes, rule the roost with offerings from Audi, Porsche, and even Volkswagen getting some attention. Let's take a look at some current offerings from these Bavarian giants and see how they are impacting the auto industry.

 BMW - Give BMW credit for moving outside of the box by building a plant in South Carolina. Opened in 1994, the Spartanburg, SC plant has produced the Z3 - now Z4 - roadster as well as the X5 SAV. Seeking to become more of a world player, BMW has also purchased controlling interest in other automakers including Rolls-Royce and Rover during the 1990s. Later, BMW sold off the Rover and MG portions of Rover, but has kept the Mini brand.

 BMW vehicles are well represented in the US. Coupes, sedans, convertibles, roadsters, and SUVs make up the American fleet with new cars at various stages of development being prepared for release.

 Mercedes Benz - As part of the Daimler Chrysler fold, Mercedes Benz has been producing high quality automobiles for over a century. In 1998, seeking to expand its reach, Daimler Chrysler [DCX] bought out the Chrysler Corporation. Names such as Chrysler, Dodge, Plymouth, Jeep, and Mopar became part of the DCX fold, although Plymouth was discontinued a few years later.

 The Mercedes Benz name is synonymous with luxury Kia Cars Houston and in the US the company is well represented by a host of sedans, coupes, convertibles, tall wagons, SUVs, roadsters, and other fine vehicles.

 Owners of BMWs and Mercedes Benz do have some things in common: vehicle maintenance. As high end vehicles, the automakers are noted for equipping their cars with only the finest OEM parts. Well represented manufacturers used by both companies include: Bosch, Hella, Mahle, Textar, Brembo, Bilstein, Febi, SKF, and others. Most are German born and bred and are recognized the world over for producing the highest quality parts for auto manufacturers.

 Replacement auto parts purchased through dealer parts departments are priced at a premium. When you take into consideration any tariffs, import fees, and third party mark ups, consumers can expect to pay a mint for each part. The growing internet wholesale market has been changing the paradigm lately as companies such as Car Parts Stuff are selling direct to consumers. The better online wholesalers have lowered costs significantly as overhead is low and they buy direct from leading manufacturers. This translates into real savings for you, the consumer.

 When purchasing any parts for your luxury car, always determine that the parts you order meet or exceed OEM specifications. There are a lot of counterfeit parts on the market; shop wisely and you will get premium parts at low prices.
