Today we see the immense structure of motor cycles but we do not much know about the their origin . They were much simpler than today’s Harley Davidson’s, BMW and Ferrari motor bikes. They were usually made of wood. The first successful invention of motorcycles with gas engine had been reported in 1885, by Gottlieb Daimler on 10 Nov, 1885. This was the first step toward modernization in transport systems. It also had a four stroke Internal-Combustion engine which impressed a lot of the people. This Otto Cycle Engine, the name given to the engine by Gottlieb Daimler and wooden motor bike made a great value in the history of motor bikes. Before him American, Sylvester Howard Roper introduced a steam engine for motor bike. There are also some news about his stem engine car inventions. William Steynveya proposed the investment to Gottlieb Daimler for the production of motor cycles in the U.S. Since 1891, and laid the foundation of the Daimler Motor Company who started making engines for many other vehicles. Daimler and Roper later on moved towards the production of automobiles whereas William Harley and the Davidson’s brothers remain stick t6o the development of motorcycles. In 1903, William Harley and his friends Arthur and Walter Davidson came forward with their Harley-Davidson Motor Company. Their bikes had a distinct quality so they used them for racing for which they got much famous but later on they also produced motorcycles for transportation purposes.

Russian Whale Tails Taking Web By Storm

Vilena, the woman above, is the originator of a Russian internet phenomenon I’m dubbing “whale tailing”. Basically, she took the picture you see there (with her ass all up in the air, hence the “whale tail”), posted it on some social networking site , and, next thing you know, BAM, all the women are doing it. *sniff* Brings a tear to my eye
