[OT!] - "I want to carry out trial manufacture of motorcycle engines."

Definitely off-topic (OT), but I have always been curious about this and never went to look up how a musical instrument company (Yamaha) headed down the path of building motorcycles. Those were the words that started it all and this article is an interesting synopsis of it. To this day, if you drop the word "Yamaha" without context, people will either default to "piano" or "motorcycle."
 
The CW crew just needs to schmooze the car manufacturers and aerospace companies... but a hovercar would require a gapless (propulsion) engine

    good stuff Mettelus, was hoping for a Cakewalk/J.Daniels partnership..
     
    can recommend Japan bikes
    Honda, best driving usually in comparison tests.
    Yamaha, most attention to finish/looks and usually runner up to Honda in comparison tests.
    Kawasaki + Suzuki, best bang for the buck
     
    never been a V8 fan, until the other week I heard a 1972 Oldsmobile 442 idling (7.4 litres) at a workshop here...
    dont know if that was a stock like exhaust though (had 2 pipes, could be stainless).
    best engine sound I ever heard

    Hmmm... You would wonder if Honda lost some techs , and they may have formed a new company, if banded together by blood, when snub by the CEO of Honda, in saying it will never sell,..''listening to music while driving".......(( and those techs saying Perhaps?)) "what is a motorcycle without music playing while the hair is blowing in the wind?"....And Honda CEO saying.."collisions , and accidentals occur,  when mindlessly in control of such a vehicle, when not paying attention to the road all around."...Perhaps?.....Just trying to make a possible tangent of it my self, now that you bring it up...lol,,.....But mysteries of the Industrial madness, continues for a price....And people sure suck it in, and buy it, to see their children and all else get sick or worse, so another charge can be applied to the band aid solutions.....for a cost,...when it is redundant for the manufacturing companies to make such crap in the first degree....Polluting the planet to extinction of X....sure has it downfalls when witnessing it first hand...eh?
     
    So round and round we go....I think with the weather of late, in some places....Still suits, and emergrncy floating devices, with a ipod, and good head phones, and solar powered air filtering systems,, and moon guided gps, or dark powered..devices might be next...to save the floating contributors of the mess they made of Planet Earth with the combustion of the dead blood of the living they killed....unknowingly, or knowingly with out care for or of...to make money....I think the Eden principle has been forgotten by most today...
     
    Just my two pennies...Hope it helps solve something of the thought in you.....I know it does have a bad taste...But most Pollutants coming out the tail pipe usually does in the end.....eh?....LOL....could be they both consumed too much of that exhaust in testing stage one....Henry ford had the right solution...Ethanol and hemp...but the big wigs of fossil fuels and warfare and industrial capitalists, made him change that to fossil fuels, bought him out ...to get his idea to market so they all could all capitalize off of the people, with no mind of the future reaping of the people using detrimental substances, to cause sickness, to fuel the next big wig idea...Bent Pharma, and funny doctors selling pills, made out of living things, they will say what,...It is a secret secret, and anyone finding natural solutions, to the sicknesses being brought into play by or via, should be snuffed out, there after....So the FDA was formed!
     
    The chain.....do you see it?....Why bother wrapping the head around debased thinking....I am sure this posting, has merit in your minds eye to ask.....or to post it...So, You are pondering it......
     
    So should we all.\\
     
     
    Thanks.
     
    LOL

    I started playing brass in the mid sixties as a teenager and Yamaha were already well regarded for brass instruments at that time. More well regarded than companies like Boosey and Hawkes, a British company who provided your usual student grade instruments in the Australian market.

    Hi,
     
    It's always nice to see someone do something like that. He did what others were too lazy to try and do.  Probably easier to say that most of the folks that were making decisions in those board rooms, were all just boss kissers, anyway!
     
    Well done! And well deserved success!

    Music is not about notes and chords! My poem is not about the computer or monitor or letters! It's about how I was able to translate it from my insides!
