Download or read book Southwest by Two Stroke written by Brian Franzen and published by Rogue Phoenix Press. This book was released on 2019-11-15 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our 1973 motorcycle ride took us from Beatrice, Nebraska, to Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico, Albuquerque, Phoenix, San Diego, LA, Vacaville, Lake Tahoe, Denver, and then back to Nebraska. We were teenagers, and we had relatives, friends, acquaintances, and girlfriends to see all along the journey. Some nights we camped out, others we stayed in a friend’s travel trailer, and some nights we enjoyed regular beds and access to a swimming pool. Each of us rode a 350cc two-stroke motorcycles on the 3500-mile trip. We had no cell phones, roadside assistance insurance coverage, custom ear plugs, or sound systems. The early 70’s was different than the 60’s, but not that much different. The attraction of the open road and the Pacific Ocean was very powerful. None of us were worried about breaking down or the costs of the trip. We had to go see western America. And we did.
Download or read book Riding 350cc Two Strokes from Nebraska to Boston in 1974 And Other Coming of Age Stories written by Jeffrey Ross and published by Rogue Phoenix Press. This book was released on 2022-05-08 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Franzen and Ross were no strangers to long motorcycle rides. In 1973, they rode 350 Yamahas from Nebraska to California and back. Along the way, they stopped to see friends and family. But this 1974 ride to Boston was different. Now, on the verge of adulthood, they grappled with school, work, and their futures—especially young love. Their long ride to historic Boston was fueled by romance and expectations of a happy future. The descriptive text in this book contains a glimpse at mid-70’s America, but it also assesses numerous coming-of-age moments for young adults. Their ride to Boston became a rite of passage they have never forgotten.

This book was released on 2021-07-01 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our 1972 motorcycle ride took us on a four-thousand-mile trip from Arizona to Canada and back. Some nights we camped out along the highway; other nights we found a motel. Some days the rain was fierce and debilitating… but every day was fun and filled with great experiences and amazing landscapes. Each of us rode a 500cc two-stroke motorcycle on the journey. We had no cell phones, roadside assistance coverage, custom ear plugs, or sound systems. The attractions of the open road, Canada, and Yellowstone Park were very powerful. None of us worried about breaking down or the costs of the trip. We were filled with youthful confidence in ourselves and our machines. The three of us had places to go and places to see. And we made it!

Download or read book The Revival of the 2 stroke Engine and Studying Flex Fuel Engines written by Jay Meldrum and published by SAE International. This book was released on 2017-02-01 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection is a resource for studying the history of the evolving technologies that have contributed to snowmobiles becoming cleaner and quieter machines. Papers address design for a snowmobile using the EPA test procedure and standard for off-road vehicles. Innovative technology solutions include: • Engine Design: improving the two-stroke, gas direct injection (GDI) engine • Applications of new muffler designs and a catalytic converter • Solving flex-fuel design and engine power problems The SAE International Clean Snowmobile Challenge (CSC) program is an engineering design competition. The program provides undergraduate and graduate students the opportunity to enhance their engineering design and project management skills by reengineering a snowmobile to reduce emissions and noise. The competition includes internal combustion engine categories that address both gasoline and diesel, as well as the zero emissions category in which range and draw bar performance are measured. The goal of the competition is designing a cleaner and quieter snowmobile. The competitors’ modified snowmobiles are also expected to be cost-effective and comfortable for the operator to drive.

Book excerpt: A sixty-three-year-old literature professor and his forty-one-year-old student fall in love despite criticism (and moral judgement) from his university, the community, and their circle of friends. Sam and Cassie’s commitment to each other, and their love of poetry, sustains the relationship and brings them new awareness about the connections between art and life. Brought together by a powerful destiny, their romance is also nurtured by the world of nature and honest and direct communication. Dr. Hill’s Poet is richly descriptive of the Platte River Valley in central Nebraska. This pleasant and fast-moving story contains textual elements common to traditional fiction, poetry, and the screen play genre.
