Being the most traditional of British brands, it comes to no surprise that Morgan is looking into its past to find a way into the future. Revealed here for the first time in real life is Morgan's all-new 3 Wheeler, which comes some 58 years after the demise of the original model that was produced from 1909 up until 1953.

The new Morgan is fitted with a V Twin fuel injected motorcycle engine from specialist engine builder S & S. It produces 115-horses and is mated to a Mazda-sourced 5 speed transmission with a reverse gear. Morgan had previously stated that the 3 Wheeler would be fitted with a 100HP V-Twin Harley Davidson motor, but apparently the company's plans changed in the meantime.

The British automaker said that the bullet shaped three wheeler was designed to emulate the styling of an airplane -hence the WW2 military aircraft like graphics on the presentation model. Morgan said that buyers can choose from a variety of graphics including US military and British Air Force inspired logos, oval racing numbers and stripes, a shark nose, chequered winner’s bonnet, official national flags and the Morgan wings.

A polished engine, stainless steel tailpipes, cowl, polished cowl, headlamps and roll hoops are also extra cost options for those looking for a more classic look.

The airplane theme is continued inside with the leather padded cockpit complete with aircraft like instrumentation. The company offers several options including bespoke leather upholstery.

The new Morgan 3 Wheeler will receive its world premiere at the Geneva Motor Show with sales to follow shortly after. Base pricing is set at £25,000 before tax (US$40,600 or €29,600 at today's exchange rates), with Morgan stating that the car is approved by US and European road transport authorities for safety and emissions.

If you are the owner of a motorcycle that need to be different, so the first thought is how to dress the alias motor modifications. Then you’ll start shopping accessories and modifications here and there. More and more components you replace, and without the feel was so much budget that came out. Then you begin to realize the function of modification is more than just beautify the look of (crude). Feel right any change many-sided effect. From the psychological side you feel the pride, of the feeling function you feel nothing has changed. Also in terms of cost, has countless hepeng you spend. Result, the motor show, it might be pretty, but it can also actually seronok. Function, motorcycles easier and more tightly controlled, but can also be quite the opposite: more wild and more severe.
If the negative aspects of these functions more appear, it means you have to start evaluating the function of modification you do. Is it really means, component selection, to modify the workshop. If you feel still less force, you have to evaluate the model and finishing a modification. It may be that you have the wrong school, your garage is less accurate, or perhaps you are the less serious.
Speaking of the function is to talk about technology. Use of appropriate components, good quality, and still works best will help the overall motor performance. While talking about the display, is talking about taste. Modifikator only knows what you want to translate that will give satisfaction. Only modifikator which gives you a good components that will maximize motor performance. And, only skilled modifikator that will give you the correct input concept and make it fit the concept and the agreed budget.
Injection Motor Benefits
There’s one in the public perception of Indonesia on the motor injection machine, which he said ribet is, is more expensive. when in fact the motor with injection technology 10% more efficient in fuel consumption compared berkarburator motors, are also easy to care about it because it does not need to dismantle and sets karbu again, if the motorcycle carburetor service takes 30 minutes for the injection motor takes only 15 minutes! .
Why koq injection could be more efficient than a carburetor?
That’s because the dose given is always appropriate. from the bottom up round the gasoline-air ratio is always measuring fit, according to information from Edhi Sarwono, Technical Service Training Manager PT AHM. injection dimotor many sensors that regulate engine performance, fuel flow and air can be adjusted according to the needs of the gas openings. Another advantage, if the motor carburetor depending on environmental conditions, if the motor was in the higher places, it would be wasteful. and vice versa. but these conditions do not affect the motor injection. because of the sensors in the motor for reading the temperature of injection environment, so the fuel flow as well as the local temperature.
Care easy
If the carburetor cleaned should be dismantled so that takes a long time, not to mention the risk because it is often dismantled so that some components wear out so vulnerable, especially skepticism buoy. was to type motor that uses vulnerable injection for longer treatment time, enough so 10-15 thousand miles, it was quite the spray injector cleaner. even if used bengsin quality is good, really do not need injections left unharmed again. because in addition to sterile, AHM also been backing up fine filter before entering the injector’ll certainly be safer Hariko Handy, Deputy GM Technical Service PT AHM.

I ran across this article in the New York Times. It has to do with the two authors' attempt to find people who have uncovered simple solutions to world problems. In this article they found that medical workers could greatly extend their relief efforts by utilizing motorcycles to get to outlying areas of Africa. In addition, they found a way to keep the bikes maintained on a regular basis. Here's an excerpt from this excellent article by Tina Rosenberg and David Bornstein:

"Until 2008 Kotelo could visit only three villages a week, because he had to reach them on foot, walking for miles and miles. But in February of that year, Kotelo got a motorcycle ─ the best vehicle for reaching rural villages in Africa, most of which are nowhere near a real road. Just as crucial, he was given the tools to keep the bike on the road: he received a helmet and protective clothing, he was taught to ride and trained to start each day with a quick check of the bike. His motorcycle is also tuned up monthly by a technician who comes to him. Now, instead of spending his days walking to his job, he can do his job. Instead of visiting three villages each week, he visits 20. Where else can you find a low-tech investment in health care that increases patient coverage by nearly 600 percent?" -- Tina Rosenberg and David Bornstein

In a story by the AP, it's suggested by Harley-Davidson that the company might have to move manufacturing out of Wisconsin to help contain rising costs. Here's an excerpt by Dinesh Ramde:

"Motorcycle maker Harley-Davidson Inc. warned its employees Thursday it could move its Wisconsin manufacturing operations to another U.S. state if it can't cut millions of dollars in costs.

A recent analysis found a number of significant 'cost gaps' that must be filled for the company to remain competitive, Harley spokesman Bob Klein said. The largest gaps involved labor costs and scheduling flexibility, Klein said.

'We'll be talking with the unions about how to close those competitive gaps,' he said." -- Dinesh Ramde (AP)

Scientific American reports today about a new vehicle that may soon travel equally well on the road and in the sky. Here's an excerpt from an article by Jim Nash.

"It is safe to bet that a flying motorcycle will never be a practical transportation option, but that has not stopped Samson Motorworks, a small engineering firm in northern California's Sierra Nevada foothills, from playing the long odds. The company is building a prototype of its Switchblade Multi Mode Vehicle, or flying motorcycle, and hopes to sell a $60,000 do-it-yourself kit as early as 2011 (engine and avionics are sold separately, for about $25,000 total)." -- Jim Nash

The American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) has announced the 2009 Motorcyclist of the Year award. Here's an excerpt from their press release of yesterday:

"The AMA today announced the 2009 AMA Motorcyclist of the Year with a departure: This year's recipients are a group, rather than an individual. The winners? Kids who ride motorcycles and all-terrain vehicles (ATVs). America's youngest riders were at the center of the biggest story of the year in 2009, as the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) enforced a ban on selling youth-model off-highway vehicles (OHVs)."
