Turn to The Home Depot to put some swing in your kitchen cabinets, get better flow out of your kitchen faucets and drop better style in and around your kitchen sink. For some, adding a visually-pleasing kitchen island creates a functional oasis to better prepare food, serve meals or chew on the dayâs events.
In 1955, BMW began introducing a new range of motorcycles with Earles forks and enclosed drive shafts. These were the 26 hp (19 kW) 500 cc R50, the 30 hp (22 kW) 600 cc R60, and the 35 hp (26 kW) sporting 600 cc R69.
This week we dive into the history of shaft drive. For most motorcycle enthusiasts when they hear of shaft drive they think of BMW, which has perfected the system for the past 90 years. But itâs a little known fact that the Germans were not the first company to design and equip motorcycles with this type of system. Shaft drive has been part of motorcycle engineering since the very early days, as it offered relatively low-maintenance and reasonable durability.
