LEGENDARY MOTORCYCLE BRAND INDIAN GETS REBIRTH
Indian, Americas oldest motorcycle brand, has recently been reincarnated. The iconic brand closed the production of its bikes in the year 1953. And since then, the company has seen many unsuccessful attempts to re-launch. But this time around, Polaris Industries, largest motor-sport brand in America, has taken the initiative to revive Indian once again. If it happens, the brand could pose a direct competition to the Harley-Davidson.
Polaris will manufacture Indian motorcycles initially at Iowa, US, facility with other Victory motorcycles. Scott Menneto, the Vice-President of the motorcycle division at Polaris, promises that the production facility is the only thing that his two big-capacity motorcycle brands will share. The Indians, with their pushrod engines, will be clean-sheet designs, and not a single component will be shared with Victory. 2013 Indian Chief will get its power from a new Power Plus, 1,721cc V-twin engine, which uses an electronic fuel injection technology. While, Polaris is trying to make it a technically advanced bikes, it will also keep the large and sweeping fenders, low riding stance and front fender to keep its classic appeal.
"Were spending a lot of money and time to make sure that we dont cross over at all." Polaris is going to showcase the new Chief at the Long Beach Motorcycle Show in December. Mr. Wine says that the Chief will definitely be more affordable than the equivalent Harley model. Its a positioning game that hes already played to great effect with Victory. "Think of how Chevrolet took the 68 Camaro and bought it forward to 2010 when it was re- launched. It was a modern car, with all the technology, electronics and quality, without losing the brand heritage." Polaris has already announced to introduce Victory motorcycles in India, thus we can well hope to see the Indian Chief as well.

A MOTORCYCLE UTILITY LIGHT FOR THE ARTIST MEETS MECHANIC
Over the holidays, I found the perfect utility light for my dad to use while working on his motorcycles. My father is a serious collector, specializing in vintage British bikes. His basement and garage are full of Nortons, Triumphs, and BSAs, among others, and he spends countless hours restoring and rebuilding them.The perfect example of an artist-meets-mechanic, my dad is always on the lookout for new tools to help improve his restoration techniques. This year, it was me who found his new go-to gadget - a unique LED flexible work light (conveniently sold by Pegasus Lighting, the company I blog for!):
The light has 24 bright white LED and is battery operated with a long and sturdy flexible neck. It also has a solid clamp and magnetic base. My father said he had never found something quite so perfect for doing detailed work on his beloved bikes. (And trust me - he’s been doing this for a while). Let me show you the ways he can use this light:

My father said he had never found something quite so perfect for doing detailed work on his beloved bikes. (And trust me - he’s been doing this for a while). Let me show you the ways he can use this light:
To light the body from above, my dad can attach the strong magnet to the bike’s muffler, and curve the light up and around.
When he wants to illuminate his work from another angle, he can use the heavy-duty base to balance the light on the seat. It has enough weight to stay put.
The strong clamp also lets my dad position the light at even more angles. He really likes the plastic and rubber guards on the clamp, which protect his bikes from any scratches or damages.
My dad also uses the clamp to attach to foot pegs. This lets him easily see what’s going on at the very bottom of a motorcycle.
To focus on the tiny intricacies of the motorcycles, my dad can fit the small LED light into a bunch of different nooks and crannies within the body. After using the light for awhile, my dad marveled about the sturdy flexible neck, which stays put even if he accidentally bumps into it.

MOTORCYCLE ENGINES
Motorcycle engines come in two different types two stroke or four stroke. The difference is that two stroke engines have fewer moving parts and produce twice the number of strokes consequently two stroke engines are more powerful for their mass. Two stroke offers stronger acceleration but similar to the top speed of a four stroke engine. They are also easier to start however they have a shorter life span because of their poorly lubricated pistons since lubrication comes from the fuel-oil mix.Four stroke engines are usually associated with a wider power band making for gentler power delivery, the four strokes have the upper hand on the comfort side because of their reed valves and exhaust power valve systems for smoother gear change.
The general manufacture of the engines are usually quite simple, the raw materials, valves and components first arrive at the manufacturing plant typically on a daily basis and are assembled. As part of the just in time delivery system by which most main companies use. Manufacturing begins in the weld department using computer controlled fabrication of the frame to house the engine, various sections are welded together. This process involves manual, automatic and robotic equipment.
In the plastics department, small plastic pellets are melted and injection moulded under high pressure to form various plastic body trim parts.
Plastic and metal parts and components are painted in booths in the paint department using powder coating to paint the motorcycle evenly.
Painted parts are sent overhead by conveyer belts to the assembly department where they are installed on the frame.
The engine is then mounted in the painted motorcycle a various other components are fitted as the motor cycle is sent down the assembly line. Finally everything else is fitted wheels, brakes, wiring, exhausts, seats lights etc and the bike is complete.
A good example of a widely appreciated motorcycle company is Harley Davidson. The company first began in Milwaukee in 1903 it was founded by Bill Harley and Arthur Walter Davidson when they developed a one cylinder motorcycle. Around the turn of the century the gasoline engine was developed and the one cylinder motor was introduced. By 1905 they had made 11 motorcycles and 1908 it increased to 154 and that’s where the company began in a little wooden barn that was built by Davidson’s father. The small company expanded and another member of the family joined them, in very little time they hired about 20 employees in an especially stone built factory.Author Bio:
