I used this website to gain a little knowledge about the first true motorcycle. It provided me with pictures, and information on the motorcycle I had never heard of for example when he stated; "The Rietwagen was built out of a wooden frame and came complete with stiff, unforgiving wooden wheels. Needless to say, the bike was not exactly a comfortable way to cruise around town. Though the Rietwagen is widely accepted as the first gas powered motorcycle ever built, some controversy surrounds this claim because of the bike’s two training-wheel like supports on the back."

I couldn't really find a podcast that was on the first motorcycle or even on how they manufacture motorcycles. So this is the closest thing. It's a podcast on motorcycle riders. There are a ton of motorcycles out there that have been made more stylish, faster and more equipped with different features. I found this podcast through useing google as my search engine.

I found a blog through useing google as my search engine. I thought it was very interesting that this blogger had said "The cycle was invented in 1867 by a Massachusetts man named Sylvester Howard Roper. Roper began to travel around to local fairs and circuses along the east cost of America to show off his invention. Although it never really caught on with the public, the bike was a crucial preclude to the first motorcycle. It was also the first vehicle to feature the twisting grip throttle control that all motorcycles feature today." It wasn't until 1885 that Daimler Rietwagen was really recognized for his creation.

             My name is Anna Lopez. I'm currently taking History I at Vernon College. I'm starting my second blog, on an assignment on a Historical event that has happen between 1877 and the present time. The event I have chosen to do my blog about is the first "true" motorcycle, that was established in 1885.
