Modifikasi Scorpio 2011 to YZF 450



Modifikasi Scorpio 2011 to YZF 450
When invited to talk about supermoto, dr. Rudy Cahyono is so enthusiastic and spirit really. All things supermoto smelling memorized by rote. Do not be surprised if Rudy was an admin and operator of websites that peeling of supermoto.
Modifikasi Scorpio 2011 to YZF 450
To symbolize the love of supermoto, he finished Destroy Yamaha Scorpio vehicles daily. The concept is modeled keukeh Yamaha YZF-450 Supermoto.

"In addition it looks like the YZF-450, also adjust the motor base that I have. Let the concept of modification is not off the mark and the brand fit, ie Yamaha," said Marine Capt.-ranking member of the Armed Forces of this.

The dominance of work was happening in the sector framework. To get the alias wheelbase wheelbase like the YZF-450 measuring 147 cm, Rudy did the marriage of two frames. Namely, the framework built by property Scorpio original YZF-450.

"Framework of the original YZF-450, published in 2004 is the result of my hunting in a few stores and sellers of motor attributes SE in Indonesia," he added.

Rudy raping an all-out original order Scorpio. This minus bespectacled man down, leaving only the bottom frame tube alias. Incidentally in this section also has chassis number, might as well let me not violate the rules down tube is maintained. "Further down tube combined order YZ. The result of all the desired size directly obtained from the merger of two of this order," he explained.

Thus, direct rake angle changed to 27 º. And to distance the machine with the land acquired under the figure of 30 cm. After having installed the 17-inch rims and tires wrapped Continental 120/70-17 front and 180/55-17 for rear seat sector, namely the desired height of 90 cm can tercapai.Rudy lot of experience when setting up the swing arm dilemma. Men living in the complex AL, Kenjeran, Surabaya is already applying the arm's YZ-450 SE. And Rudy would put the rear rim which has a width of 5 inches. Sure will not fit if it is forced to accommodate the rim.

Direct bold decision taken. Arm is forced to be more tenuous. "The trick with the heated welding. When in hot conditions is direnggang little by little to have a width as desired. This is the work of trial and error," told you frankly.

At the time of finishing, Rudy also add a motif that mimics the limited edition YZF graphic style and dominated by yellow color. Emang similar result, Bro!

Machine Upgrade

Because the body's weight, engine performance need to be increased capacity. No half, Scorpio's engine capacity of 223 cc direct dibore ups to go up to 360 cc. Rudy had shoved the car piston owned Honda Accord Maestro.

Then for the waste channel, had made a new exhaust neck. "Only then terminated silencers KTM 450," proud Rudy

Porsche meets Harley-Davidson

Door Onno “Berserk” Wieringa
Veel belangstelling voor de Harley's, in dit geval een Ultra Limited

Informeel gezellig over motoren en auto's praten

Porsche meets Harley-Davidson, een interessant initiatief laat ondernemers samenkomen.
Presentatoren Ellen en Geert vroegen de heren het hemd van het lijf
In het Porsche Centrum Twente werden afegelopen week de gasten ’s avonds hartelijk ontvangen. Het doel van deze avond? Netwerken, zoals dat tegenwoordig zo mooi heet. Op initiatief van Harley-Davidson Dealer Oude Monnink Motors en Porsche Centrum Twente werd een avond georganiseerd voor en door ondernemers, met als rode draad H-D, Porsche en de emoties die beide merken oproepen. Ondernemers Richard Oude Monnink, Edwin Lammertink (Porsche Centrum Twente) en Leo de Haas van het gelijknamige bedrijf Leo de Haas Producties vertelden geamuseerd over hun eigen ondernemerservaringen; de beginjaren, hoe zij er toe kwamen om hun bedrijven op te zetten, de successen en hoe zij nu hun bedrijven zo goed mogelijk proberen te managen.  

v.l.n.r. Richard Oude Monnink (H-D) Edwin Lammertink (Porsche) en Leo de Haas (Blik op de weg)

Leo de Haas, de bekende presentator en maker van het populaire Tv-programma ‘Blik op de weg’ vertelde zijn verhaal over Blik op de weg; over het ontstaan van het programma en hoe alles tot stand komt wat wij op tv mogen zien. Leo de Haas is zelf gepassioneerd H-D rijder en Porsche-fanaat, en weet dus als geen ander wat het is om bij dit soort voertuigen de emotie en de beleving te ervaren. Richard Oude Monnink vertelt enthousiast over zijn Harley-Davidson dealerschap, een zaak die al vanaf 1966 bestaat en sinds 1974 H-D’s verkoopt. Edwin vertelt lachend over zijn ‘geknutsel in een oud schuurtje’ waar het slechts tien jaar geleden mee begon en hoe ver hij nu door liefde voor het merk Porsche, goed ondernemerschap en hard werken is gekomen. Ruim een uur lang werden de drie ondernemers onder een pittig vragenvuur gehouden door de presentatoren Ellen en Geert en het publiek. Doorspekt met humor en vergezeld met anekdotes vertelden de heren met plezier over ‘hun merkbeleving’ en beantwoordden de vaak lastige vragen vanuit het publiek.
Veel humor en leuke anekdotes, interessante verhalen en goede tips maakten deze avond dik de moeite waard


 In de pauze werd informeel kennisgemaakt en werden businesscontacten vernieuwd en nieuwe gelegd. Met een hapje en een drankje, struikelend over Harley’s en Porsches was het leuk te zien hoe de Porschisten de H-D’s bekeken en informatie aan de Harleyrijders vroegen en omgekeerd. Iedereen was het er over eens; beide merken hebben een lange, roemruchte geschiedenis en kennen een grote schare echte liefhebbers. Bovendien hebben beide merken al vaker in het verleden samengewerkt, zo hielp Porsche begin tachtiger jaren met de ontwikkeling van het H-D Evolution motorblok en ook bij het V-Rod blok had Porsche een Dicke Finger in de Amerikaanse pap. De Boxermotor waar Porsche bekend mee werd is tenslotte ook luchtgekoeld!Na de pauze werden de deelnemers van het Porsche meets Harley-Davidson evenement aangenaam vermaakt met hilarische beelden van Porsche en Harley rijders uit de archieven van Blik op de weg.

Porsche liefhebbers met Harley enthousiastelingen in gesprek


De ruim honderd deelnemers waren het unaniem eens; het was een gezellige, leerzame ervaring die iedereen zeer plezierig vond. Een leuk initiatief, wat goede contacten opleverde en waar de ondernemers met een glimlach op het gezicht aan terug zullen denken!
Richard, Leo en Edwin, bedankt voor dit goede initiatief!

Met hartelijke dank aan Richard Oude Monnink (Oude Monnink Motors Harley-Davidson), Edwin Lammertink (Porsche Centrum Twente) en Leo de Haas van het gelijknamige bedrijf Leo de Haas Producties
