Volume 1 Chapter 102: Purchasing Motorcycles

Speaking of motorcycles, the first thing Xing Yu thought of was Shuishui, but unfortunately Brother Shui is no longer in the rivers and lakes, and the circle of friends casually released a few acquisition information, and Wei Xiong came directly to the office.

"Xiao Xingyu, why did you get into the idea of a motorcycle? Do you want me to ride my car over first and give you a façade." Wei Xiong found a comfortable place to sit down and began to fiddle with the tea tray.

"Hey, I remember, what about your BMW R1200?" Xing Yu remembered that when he was still in the Textile City Art District, Wei Xiong rode a BMW cruising motorcycle to play.

"When did that happen, it was taken away, and now I only have a spring head and a big R." Wei Xiong raised his head, looked at Xing Yu with incredible eyes and said.

"Springhead?" Xing Yu asked curiously, he had seen various modification styles of Harley before, Bobber, Cafe Racer, Chopper, Bagger, etc., these styles are different and have their own characteristics, Cafe Racer refers to the style of coffee locomotives. Originating from the early days of underground racing, the models of the time did not have the aerodynamic fairings of modern sports cars, and had to reduce wind resistance by making the exterior parts as streamlined as possible. Therefore, the headlights will be lowered to reduce the shock absorption, all in order to reduce the wind resistance to achieve a higher top speed. Coffee locomotives originated in England.

Key identifying features: split handlebars, ultra-thin hump racing seats, slim body, elongated fuel tank in fiberglass or aluminum (with leg grooves), some with retro-style headlight fairings, suitable for modified models: tough guys, 48s, etc.

The most technically demanding aspects of the modification are: rear frame cutting, fork and custom grip mounting, and fork inclination.

Chopper is in the 60s of the last century because of the popularity of hippie culture in the United States, the overall style of luxury, visual impact is strong, the whole car uses a large number of hand-painted paint with a large area of electroplating parts or hand-carved latte art accessories.

Mainly Harley 72, BIG DOG, Luwei, TAG Heuer soft tail, breakthrough and other models are modified.

It's easy to identify this style from the exaggerated rear wheels, a large number of plated parts, a handle handlebar, painted paint, an exaggerated triangular steel tube backrest, a handle tassel trim, and a large-angle fork.

In addition to the customized fork and frame with moderate, widened rear wheel rocker arm and transmission system, also need custom paint, painting, accessories chrome, copper plating and other columns, you need professional graffiti, electroplating talents, in order to play well.

The spring head is out of the original custom spring head soft tail series, which is common in old school and Bobber style.

Bobber style was born in the United States in the 50s of the last century, when World War II ended, a large number of military motorcycles were sold to the people, because most of the military vehicles of the United States were Harley's WLA750, the body was huge and bulky, and the entire modification style was lightweight as the ultimate goal, and the overall modification was basically dismantled and dismantled. Most of the people who like this style are retired veterans, pursuing a real sense of vicissitudes and forming a unique style.

The old school style comes from the old American campus modification, students have an indescribable fanatical love, but often suffer from shyness, have to buy second-hand old vehicles, because of the high cost of maintenance, so simply abandon some of the accessories, supplemented with their own handmade parts.

"Ride here, you put it at home and it is dusty, it is better to put it in my company, and someone will wipe it for you every day, and when you meet someone you like, you can sell it at a good price." Xing Yu hurriedly lit a cigarette for Wei Xiong and said with a flattering face.

"What's the matter, then you will receive a good motorcycle in the future, and let me play with it." Wei Xiong said magnificently.

"For a few things, I've already contacted a friend in Jieshi, first order a Suzuki big eye, and then look for a Falcon or something like that. I am still working on the domestic stick king, Jialing 600 and Huanglong and Chunfeng. Xing Yu also said magnificently.

"Is the stick king domestically produced? My friend still has one there? If you get it back to the domestic one, I'll tell him about it, and get him for you to play with." Wei Xiong usually doesn't pay attention to the news of domestic production, in his eyes, there is no way to play with domestic products, and he would rather choose Jieshi assembly goods than take a look at the domestic manufacturers.

"I feel that you worship foreign countries and are not patriotic, don't you care about domestic motorcycles at all?" Xing Yu made a little joke when he heard this.

"I love them, do they love me? You said that Huanglong is the one who cooperated with Benelli, right? I have seen several broken head news before, how do you say I love it? As for the Chunfeng gearbox out of gear, oil and water leakage, how do you say I love it?" Wei Xiong couldn't help but be full of resentment when he talked about domestic cars.

"Benelli is decapitated, just that batch, optimistic about the production batch number, on the line. After all, it is a four-cylinder 600cc displacement, and the price is less than 50,000 yuan, what do you want, there are formal procedures for this. "Xing Yu still has to argue for domestic cars.

"What about coaxing customers? Two computer versions, four cylinders? It's just two twin cylinders. Wei Xiong is still knowledgeable, and he hit the nail on the head and said the most criticized point of the Huanglong 600.

"Any car is a hooligan out of price, the same is true for the Huanglong 600, the price is only in the early 40,000s, if it can be sold for 80,000 yuan, I guarantee that it can be sprayed to the north, and the Shenma broken car also dares to ask for 80,000 yuan CBR650F? And you have to know that the small and medium-sized displacement models are now the mainstream of the two-cylinder engine, you look at the foreign brands of 600CC below the displacement models, how many are equipped with four-cylinder machines? Yes, but what about the price? Now it is no longer the eighties and nineties of the last century, small displacement can also use four-cylinder engines, Honda Hornet 250, Kawasaki 250 is already a swan song. Xing Yu still defended himself for domestic motorcycles.

"You say this, why did you have to buy the original Jialing cabbage with a red frame in the first place? Why do you say it's garbage for a domestically made light riding Tibetan mastiff?" Wei Xiong turned up Xing Yu's old accounts.

"Then I still ride the Happiness 250, and I still have a Yangtze River 750 in my store. Xing Yu said not to be outdone.

"Come on, then why don't you drive a domestic car, what Geely, Chang'an or something, why don't you sell one in your store?" Wei Xiong continued to dig through old accounts.

"Then don't I also have a Cherokee? Now that BMW and Mercedes-Benz are all domestically produced, isn't the 3 Series I drive domestic?" Xing Yu still retorted.

"Don't you say that your three series is okay, the first thing you take back, don't you just deduct the Brilliance standard?" Wei Xiong came to the store to hang out that day, and it happened that Xing Yu received a BMW three series and was renovating, and he saw with his own eyes that Xing Yu commanded the person to deduct the logo of the Brilliance BMW at the rear of the car.

"Isn't that for sales? I don't care about these myself, now except for the Great Wall Haval, Changan Yidong XT/GT, we pick up the car for more money, can you still think that domestic cars are not good? We just talked about motorcycles, or we will ride your car over now?" Xing Yu no longer wants to argue with Wei Xiong about this, Wei Xiong is too much like a troll on the Internet, he has never driven it, he has ridden it and read it and wrote comments, so he stubbornly thinks that domestic things are not good......

Wei Xiong was also reluctant to argue with Xing Yu, he was heartbroken by the previous domestic cars such as the BAIC Gladiator.

"Do you have any equipment, shall we go for a ride?" Wei Xiong asked casually.

"I've got racing helmet gloves, I'll make a splash first, and I'll ride the big R in a while, and you ride the spring head. After Xing Yu finished speaking, he looked for his equipment in the office.

"Come on, your half-face helmet, riding a big R, aren't you afraid that you really won't be able to open your eyes? I have another one at home, I'll just get it for you later." Do you still ride a motorcycle?" Wei Xiong said, standing up.

"It doesn't matter, I don't run fast, then I'll have to find a hood, or I'll take your helmet and I'll be embarrassed to get you dirty. "Xing Yu never uses other people's helmets and sleeping bags, and he is not willing to lend them to others, many friends come to the store to pick up the car, Xing Yu will also introduce the car rental company, 'I have to buy these are all commodities, I will give you a discount' is a good solution.

The relationship is really iron, Xing Yu will also have a driver to drive, this is also a matter of no way, too many people drive their own cars and don't even get on the road, once they drive someone else's car, they can't wait to start burning tires and drift corners.

The helmet is life-saving, and it is always worn on the head when riding, and it is inevitable that it will sweat or something, and the hygiene is not good, and the smell is really unbearable, as for the sleeping bag, it is the same reason.

Therefore, bringing your own head coverings is the best respect for a friend to lend you a helmet.

called Cheng Chen as the driver, and the three of them set off directly in one car.

THE BIG R, ALSO KNOWN AS THE YAMAHA YZF-R1, IS A TOP-OF-THE-LINE MOTORCYCLE SPORTS CAR PRODUCED BY YAMAHA MOTORCYCLE PRODUCTION COMPANY. RIDERS WILL ALSO CALL THE YAMAHAYZF-R6, WHICH IS ALSO OWNED BY YAMAHA, THE LITTLE R.

The large R has a displacement of 996cc, while the small R has a displacement of only 599cc. In addition to the displacement, the voice of the small R is not as sexy as the big R.

When I came to the underground garage of Weixiong Community, I lifted the dusty car coat, and the first thing I saw was Harley, the bare springs and levers on the front of the car, the exaggerated chrome parts, starting from the headlights, all the way to the handlebars, engine, exhaust, although there was some dust, but there was still a strange light.

"It's 1450, isn't it?" Wei Xiong said triumphantly.

"1450?Dina or Softtail?" Xing Yu asked.

"Lose your ancestors, you still want to sell motorcycles, such simple features, the shock absorption of the soft tail is hidden, and the shock absorption of Dina is leaked, so simple to distinguish you don't know. Wei Xiong said after laughing.

"What have you changed to this, can I tell it so easily?" Xing Yu could only justify his ignorance.

"Nonsense, if you don't change your Harley, then what kind of Harley is playing. Wei Xiong said unashamedly.

"Are you fully equipped? leather pants, leather clothes or something. Xing Yu continued to ask.

"It was a must, a leather hat, a leather jacket with a diagonal zipper, pointed-toe shoes, and all sorts of silver ornaments, which were necessary equipment for riding Harley. You start the car first, maybe the battery is out, I'll go up to the house to get the equipment and change clothes. Wei Xiong said and took out two keys and left directly.

"Brother Xing, can I ride for a while?" Cheng Chen couldn't help but ask when he saw Wei Xiong leaving.

"Don't worry, start with a small displacement, you have to get used to it, you can't take care of these two, and when I come back from the car I ordered outside, you start with the 250cc car, and gradually let you play with these big toys. Xing Yu said while wiping the dust.
