If you know the answer to this Cheap Markelle Fultz Jersey , you are far more the historian than am I. I am betting alot of people today would simply say that Harley-Davidson invented the motorcycle. Although they did not invent the motorcycle, they sure had a big part in mass producing bikes for the everyday commuting population.


The truth, as history states it Cheap Amir Johnson Jersey , all depends on one's definition of what exactly is a motorcycle. By todays common definition, a motorcycle is a two-wheeled motorized vehicle. But what is the motor? is it gas, electric Cheap Jerryd Bayless Jersey , or steam driven?


Here is the Wikipedia definition for Motorcycle:


A - motorcycle - is a two-wheeled vehicle powered by an engine. The wheels are in-line, and at higher speed the motorcycle remains upright and stable by virtue of gyroscopic forces; at lower speeds continual readjustment of the steering by the rider gives stability. The rider sits astride the vehicle on a seat, with hands on a set of handlebars which are used to steer the motorcycle Cheap Darryl Dawkins Jersey , in conjunction with the rider shifting his weight through his feet, which are supported on a set of footpegs which stick out from the frame.


Yes, I said steam. The steam-engine motorcycle was invented in 1967. This coal-powered steam engine was invented by Sylvester Howard Roper Cheap Charles Barkley Jersey , an American inventor. The steam-engine motorcycle ran on two cylinders.


Now a few years later the first petroleum gas-powered engine motorcycle was invented in 1885 by Gottlieb Daimler. This motorcycle used a Four-Stroke Internal-Combustion Engine which was invented in 1876. This is a bookmark in history since was the first real practical application of combining a practical gas engine with a bicycle. The Four-Stroke Internal-Combustion Engine that Gottleib Daimler used was invented by Nicolaus August Otto.


Now this all leads us up to 1903 and the creation of the Harley-Davidson Motor Company. A motorcycle company formed by William Harley with Arthur and Walter Davidson. At the turn of the century the demand for mass produced automobiles was increasing. Along with this, was a demand for motorcycles. The pedal-powered bicycles were everywhere in everyday 1903 life. The public wanted more. As with the auto industry, the race track was the place where technology flourished. Harley-Davidson built their first bike with a high-performance engine. They used this bike to win races. The race wins brought them brand name recognition. The next step was for Harley-Davidson to start mass producing motorcycles for the public.


Now fast forward 100 years later and we now see motorcycles everywhere. Motorcycle build and enthusiast shows are everywhere on cable television. Everyone wants to own a Harley-Davidson motorcycle. This is mainly because of their incredible brand name recognition vice the actual quality of their product. Motorcycling is gowing more popular every year. There are Motorcycle Safety courses to teach new riders. Of which Cheap Wilt Chamberlain Jersey , the majority are women. I think women have finally decided they want to ride their own bike and no longer want to be the passenger. It is all good and the motorcycling industry is gearing their products towards this new market base.


With all this information, when you appear on Jeopardy and are asked, "who invented the motorcycle?" Hopefully you will have enough information to correctly answer Alex's question.


Ride safe.


One of the most common issues I'm asked about is how to raise the profile of a business to attract more clients.


This is an important issue no matter how small or large your business may be.


For example I'm working with a client in Brisbane who is well established in their industry. They've been operating for many years and have a very good client satisfaction rate. However Cheap Maurice Cheeks Jersey , their flow of new clients is very unpredictable. And there's still a heck of a lot of potential clients who don't even know this firm exists.


So I've worked with them to create a program that will lift their industry presence, but in a way that emphasises their highly professional approach and expertise.


This means they'll be:


> Exhibiting at key trade shows where they'll get to meet prospects in person.


> Speaking at industry events.


> Pro-actively arranging personal meetings with major corporate prospects.


> Promoting the business to previous clients and industry contacts.


> Creating a follow up plan for all contacts.


> Updating marketing material to address important client concerns (identified through in-house research), including the creation of fact sheets to help clients make the best decision for their circumstances.


> Advertising in niche trade publications.


You might notice that the first five points all revolve around personal contact. Because many service businesses gain clients through recommendations and networking Cheap Julius Erving Jersey , it's vital that personal contact is the centre of a service business marketing strategy.


Key Point: You must "Structure-in" points of contact.


Researchers have shown that prospects buy after having had from 7 to 12 contacts with a business. A contact may be a personal visit or receiving information in the mail. So it's important to try and structure-in as many points of contact as possible with prospects and referrers.


I use the term "structure-in" as it makes us focus on the planned nature of the sales process. We need to carefully assess how we can create meaningful points of contact, and how to advance the level of interest clients have in our services as we progress.


Another example is a small web design firm based in Sydney. The partners in this recently established business approached me because although they have great web design credentials, they lacked the industry contacts and 'visibility' to attract new clients. As you might guess Cheap Allen Iverson Jersey , their top priority is to get in touch with suitable prospects and start making points of contact.
