Hank Young’s Disk Drive

Originally uploaded by cliff1066

Hank Young creates internal-combustion confections that allude to the legendary grandeur of the past. He has appropriated a sweet spot in our collective consciousness for the way automobiles and motorcycles of the Jazz Age flaunted their mechanismo. Whereas a chopper, by general consensus, is supposed to assault one’s sensibilities on all counts, a Hank Young example takes a more subtle and less intimidating approach. It makes you want to pull up a chair, pour some whiskey into a tumbler, and ponder its intricacies at your leisure. Only then would you be truly ready to ride it. Like a Swiss chronograph with multiple complications (stop hands, date, alarm, moon phase, alternate time zones, windows, and sub-dials), a Hank Young motorcycle exemplifies an excess of effort to reach a modest result, beauty notwithstanding. True to chopper culture and his own hotrod roots, there is nothing practical about his results, no more so than one needs a $50,000 wristwatch to tell time. But they show how what is unnecessary can just as much be the mother of invention, if sublime satisfaction is the upshot. Young’s bikes are neither replicas nor facsimiles, but the tangible evidence of an imagination that evokes old motorcycles by reinventing them. They are classy, if not classical. In other words, they never looked this good before. Still, Young celebrates motorcycles with an attention to historical detail that strikes a postmodern chord. Plainly products of the present day, they look as though they might have been ridden by Jules Verne, looking forward a century ago.

Good motorcycle tires are not easy to produce. They need to incorporate speed, grip and performance on a variety of road surfaces and conditions. They need to be good in all conditions. Metzeler attacks the problem with technology.

At Metzeler high technology is the first step towards a successful product. Technical innovation has been the main driver for their strategy since 1892. The firm utilizes state-of-the-art technology, materials and testing facilities to build world-class product.

Metzeler’s uses a patented 0-degree steel belt construction that limits tire growth at speed and aids stability. The limited tire growth, adds Metzeler, means that custom builders can mount a fender as close as one-quarter inch from the tire’s maximum-diameter specs, perfect for that low-riding look.

The firm even builds Anna Nicole Smith-size donuts that deliver that bad-ass attitude in the Marathon 880 rubber for V-Twin customs. Reports indicate that even the fattie offers good motorcycle riding dynamics.

The ME 880 Marathon Line
Premium line dedicated to custom sleds, cruisers and heavy touring bikes, featuring high-tech construction with fashionable design.

• Soft compound for high grip
• Machine-specific carcass construction for exceptional riding comfort and stability at all speeds
• Tread pattern design providing very high mileage
