Chapter 1: The Battle of Tianwang Mountain
"Boom-boom-"
In the midsummer of 1993, the real estate bubble in Qiongnan Province, the southernmost part of China, burst, and the dreams of countless gold diggers from all over the country were shattered. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
However, in the Yangtze River Delta, Zhehai Province is a thriving scene, with countless small workshops blooming everywhere, with their flexible sense of smell and tenacious vitality, they are trying to find soil space for survival in the cracks of the mountains of the planned economy dominated by state-owned enterprises.
Hushan County is a typical sample, named after the Hushan Scenic Area, but relying on the profit of family workshops, it is already a well-known motorcycle parts production area. With the state-owned enterprise Qianjiang Motorcycle as the leader, Zhehai Province has become one of the three major motorcycle industry cluster bases along with the mountain city of Yuzhou City and the model of reform and opening up, Nanyue Province.
In the evening, the staff of the scenic spot have already gotten off work, and a large group of young people riding motorcycles are gathering at the top of Hushan Mountain, and the roar of motorcycle engines cannot block the hustle and bustle between everyone.
For the convenience of tourists, Hushan has built a winding asphalt road, with nine bends and eighteen bends, and has become one of the holy places for youth racing in the vicinity because of the steep terrain.
At this time, the price of the car is as high as hundreds of thousands, making it far away from the homes of ordinary people, and motorcycles with a price of tens of thousands of dollars have become the favorite of young people all over the country. In the context of the national average monthly salary of 300 yuan, owning a motorcycle of your own is a symbol of a well-off family.
Today is a gathering of motorcycle enthusiasts in the nearby area, and it is said that there will be a race of riders, where several well-known riders will compete for the title of "Tiger Mountain Rider" on the 3.6-kilometre Hushan winding road.
As soon as the news came out, it attracted many motorcycle enthusiasts, and everyone rode their beloved motorcycles and called friends to rush to Hushan.
The viewing platform at the top of the mountain has also become a display stage for all kinds of motorcycles in China, from the classic Jialing JH70, Jianshe CY80, Qingqi K90, Jincheng AX100, Xingfu XF125, to the Wuyang 125A with the Honda logo assembled from all imported parts just from the production line, and the Qianjiang QJ70, which occupies a large market share in Hushan County, and other miscellaneous motorcycles have appeared on the stage.
Wuyang 125A is a well-known model of Honda introduced, happiness XF125 is copied from it, up to 16800 yuan price is a well-deserved king present. People have been around it to comment, praise one after another, so that the car owners on the side as if they have eaten the elixir as comfortable.
"Boom-"
Another group of convoys came up, and the first one was the GS125, which was known as the king of Suzuki, and the price of pure imports was as high as 25,000 yuan. The red racing car shape, the eye-catching Suzuki English logo "SUZUKI" on the fuel tank attracted everyone's attention, and the rider wearing a red helmet and white gloves directly killed all models, including Wuyang 125A, as soon as he appeared.
"The Suzuki killer is coming, and he's one of the drivers in the race. ”
The person who is familiar with the inside story whispered to the friends around him.
After a while, another contestant also arrived, which also caused a sensation on the scene. I saw the black body, the "HONDA" logo shining under a flying wing in the strong lines, and the rider in a black leather jacket and helmet was no less beautiful than the Suzuki King just now.
"Wow, Honda King CB125T, 28,000 yuan, parallel goods can't be bought with money. ”
The well-informed riders present could see the origin of this motorcycle at first glance.
"Tutu-"
Without waiting for the crowd to digest it, the white motorcycle with a sharper shape like a running cheetah fell from the sky, and the rider in the white helmet stepped on the brake and slammed the accelerator on the spot, and the black "YAMAHA" logo in the roar was eye-catching.
"God, it's really not in vain, Liu Dehua 125 also appeared. ”
Someone couldn't help but shout out the name of the model.
Andy Lau is not a cyclist, but a term of endearment for the SRZ125 model, which is known as the King of Yamaha, because at that time Liu Tianwang endorsed Yamaha motorcycles in Hong Kong, and the Yamaha SRZ125 was ridden in the poster. Now that there are Suzuki King and Honda King, the Yamaha SRZ125, which costs as much as 29,800 yuan, has also become a royal title on a par with it.
"The competition of the three top civilian motorcycles is already exciting just thinking about it. ”
"I'm a fan of Liu Tianwang, but Honda King is my favorite......"
The crowd at the scene began to communicate with each other, and they all said that today's trip was worth it, which was an eye-opener.
"Hey, everyone is here, why don't you start yet?"
"It is said that there is still one rider missing, and it is estimated that we will have to wait. ”
As soon as the words ended, a roar was heard, louder than any motorcycle that had appeared before.
"Boom knock knock knock -
After all, the best civilian motorcycles that could be found in China in 1993 have already appeared, and other vehicles will not be lethal.
But when the main owner appeared, the audience was silent, because no one expected a motorcycle to come.
"Cannon-Happiness 250A!"
"I'm not mistaken, this car is old enough to be my grandfather. ”
In the big red body, the large, four, small and five gold stars on the fuel tank are majestic, and they are the shape of the Chinese national flag, and the young man wearing green army pants and white shirt and goggles left an indelible impression on all the spectators as soon as he appeared.
"The Happiness 250A is a model copied from Czechoslovakia in 1960, and it is the earliest two-wheeled motorcycle popularized in our country. First military, and then transferred to civilian use, before Jialing did not appear, artillery is the general name of the Chinese for two-wheeled motorcycles. ”
A rider who has studied the history of motorcycles gives a free explanation to the crowd around him.
"The cannon is said to be very fuel-guzzling, and the old engine is not burning enough, so you can drive other motorcycles as long as you run behind the cannon to pick up the fuel and keep walking?"
After listening to this, another rider said everyone's ridicule of the Happiness 250A.
"Hey, no, this cannon looks like the engine is different, and sure enough, he replaced it with the engine of the Yellow River Kawasaki HK250, so it makes sense. The power of Kawasaki HK250 is well-known in China, but the frame of the 250A is too old, and it is originally load-based.
It is still this rider who has a certain skill in motorcycle research, and interprets the new No. 4 racing vehicle. The five-star red flag and the aura of the former national motorcycle made him have a heartfelt impression of the "cannon", but the rational analysis made him know that in the face of the three kings from Dongying, the happiness 250A is more than lucky.
The rider who appeared in the finale was named Han Hao, who had just graduated from high school, but had been repairing motorcycles for 3 years. Ever since his father bought the Happiness 250A back 8 years ago, he has developed a keen interest in mechanics.
In the summer vacation after graduating from junior high school, the only sister in the family got married and married the brother-in-law who repaired motorcycles in the town, and Han Hao became a junior apprentice in a motorcycle shop. 4 years ago, my father bought a new imported Suzuki AX100 and retired this old problem Happy 250A. After staying in the utility room at home for 2 years, Han Hao's final exam results in the first year of high school improved, and his father gave him the "cannon" as a reward. Since then, this red "cannon" has been rejuvenated and has become Han Hao's special mount.
In high school in the county, Han Hao's father usually locks the car, just to let his son study with peace of mind, so only during the holidays will the "red car god" occasionally appear, not a senior person in the circle does not know that there is such a person.
Today, in addition to competing for the title of "Tiger Mountain Car God", another major factor is to compare the performance of the current motorcycle kings of various manufacturers, Han Hao was invited to participate as a representative of domestic locomotives, after all, he had run excellent results in the Hushan Highway.
The appearance fee is 1,000 yuan, the championship is 5,000 yuan, and the organizers of the event have offered huge bonuses to facilitate this much-anticipated event. In 1993, when the monthly salary was more than 300 yuan, 1,000 yuan was definitely a huge amount of money, otherwise there would be so many car kings to fight.
The wool is out of the sheep, and as you can tell from the hot betting situation at the betting point, this event definitely made the organizers laugh.
"A few brothers, since the competition, there is no boredom between everyone, I propose a 1,000 yuan appearance fee, whoever is the first to take it all, the winner takes all!"
The rider of the black Honda King lifted his helmet and said loudly.
"Agreed!"
"Interesting!"
Both King Suzuki and King Yamaha agreed to the proposal.
Among the four, Han Hao was the only one who did not express his position, and under the watchful eyes of the other three, he swallowed back the words that he had just come to his mouth to ask for money and was ready to pay the college tuition.
"Dare to bet and don't necessarily lose, love to fight to win!"
After chanting the favorite mantra of the Hushan people in his heart, Han Hao nodded and accepted the bet.
When the organizers heard this proposal, they immediately announced it loudly to the crowd with a loudspeaker, which made the atmosphere even more lively.
"Is there a brother who raised the 'King of China', now the handicap ratio has increased, 1 to 3!"
Compared with the three kings of Dongying, there are only a handful of people who bet on Han Hao, so the odds have gone all the way. Han Hao's Happiness 250A was too old to replace the engine, which was agreed to by the other three riders.
Since other motorcycles are all with the title of king, Han Hao's domestic cannon has also been known as the "King of China".
"Boom-boom-"
Many people start their motos and start descending the mountain, hoping to wait for the winner at the finish line.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Han Hao also checked his mount "Cannon" again, striving to make it perform at its best later. Han Hao also liked the title of "King of China" when he heard it, and he made up his mind to call his car like this in the future.
The winding mountain road has been cleared, the finish line is surrounded by many long-awaited riders, and the exciting battle of motorcycle road kings is about to begin.
