  1. Motorcycles A Power point about the invention, Motorcycles.

  2. The first Motorcycle was powered by coal. Riding the Motorcycle is yet another way to transport, it has a seat, and it was powered by coal, but now, they have made it more complex. Today, Japanese manufactures, Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki and Yamaha dominate the large Motorcycle industry. This invention predates the bicycle. The first Motorcycle was made by an American, Sylvester Howard Roper. It was made in 1867.

  3. People always wanted something to be faster than the Bicycle. They wanted something quick to start up, and easy to find a place to park. They wanted to get to places quicker. They wanted something to ride, something that is easier to ride on at a young age.

  4. Sylvester Howard Roper Roper was born in Francistown, Vermont, November 24, 1823. When he was a little boy, he displayed a remarkable degree of precocity in mechanics. At 12 years of age, although he never saw a steam engine, he constructed a small stationary engine. Roper left Francistown at a young age and worked as a machinist, first in Nashua, then in Manchester, New York. He then started building more and more motorcycles when he succeeded in building the first one. His Motorcycles improved every time. He was the first one to ever build a Motorcycle that worked properly. He was famous for that. Roper left Francistown at a young age and worked as a machinist. While he was riding his steam-propelled bicycle , he fell off it and landed head first on June 1st, 1896, he was found dead on the ground.

  5. This invention was changed a lot. People in the early times kept on discovering and inventing new parts for the motorcycle. The parts were added and they improved the motorcycle, even if it was only one part, it still changed the motorcycle. That’s what happened, from when the first motorcycle was made in 1867, till now, 2012.

  6. Motorcycles have 2 wheels. The Motorcycle includes a gasoline engine, which converts the reciprocating motion into rotary motion. A transmission system transmits this motion to the back wheel. As the back wheel turns, it makes the Motorcycle accelerate. Then it’s the driver’s job to steer. Two handles are above the front wheel. When you turn the handles, the front wheel turns and it allowed the Motorcycle to turn, in some cases, leaning on one side also helps steering on a Motorcycle. Two hand levers enable the rider to operate the clutch and the front brake, while two foot pedals enable him to change gears and control the rear brake. Motorcycle engines nowadays, work exactly like car engines.

  7. The Motorcycle is perfect for solving the problem. It is great for the people who used to face the problem.

  8. Carriages They rode on... That’s what they rode on before the Motorcycle was invented to try and avoid the problem. Bikes

  9. This invention made it easier to move around in roads, and faster. Especially for individual men who are about 20-30 years old and not married. They got to get to work faster, and avoid traffic using this awesome invention.

  10. Turn signals and running lights are now standard. Pollution controls have been incorporated. Suspensions have been added. Water cooling has been introduced. Electrical starters have become the standard. Batteries have been added. Fuel gauges were added to most Motorcycles. The layout of controls has been standardize. Generators have replaced Magnetos
