Satu video memaparkan bekas Imam Masjidilharam menunggang sebuah motosikal berkuasa tinggi lengkap dengan berpakaian moden, menjadi tular dalam media sosial.     

Berdasarkan video dirakam oleh seorang peminat di aplikasi Snapchat, Sheikh Adel Al-Kalbani dilihat sedang duduk di atas motosikal jenis Harley Davidson di tepi jalan. 

Malah, Sheikh Adel juga kelihatan memakai jaket dengan bendera negara Amerika Syarikat (AS) dan beberapa lagi ikon di atas pakaian itu.  

“Sheikh Adel tersenyum dan menunjukkan isyarat dua jari berbentuk `V’ sebagai simbol kedamaian selepas peminat yang merakam video meminta beliau berbuat demikian,” jelas laporan Al Arabiya

Nama Sheikh Adel menjadi sohor kini di Twitter sejak rakaman video itu tular dalam media sosial, Isnin lalu.

Malah, tindakan bekas Imam Masjidil Haram itu juga mencetuskan pelbagai reaksi di seluruh Arab Saudi kerana dianggap luar biasa dan berbeza dengan ulama lain.

Sementara itu, seorang pengguna media sosial berpandangan cara Sheikh Adel berpakaian mungkin sukar diterima oleh sesetengah rakyat. 

“Pada hemat saya, Sheikh Adel tidak melakukan sebarang perkara yang dilarang. Beliau bebas membuat apa sahaja dimahukan.

“Namun, kita sudah biasa melihat golongan imam terutama Imam Masjidil Haram berpakaian dengan cara tertentu. Jadi, kami sukar menerima perkara ini,” katanya di Twitter.

Bagaimanapun, rata-rata warganet memuji penampilan baharu Sheikh Adel dengan ada yang menggelar beliau sebagai tokoh luar biasa.     

Ramai juga yang menganggap apa yang dilakukan oleh bekas Imam Masjidil Haram itu sebagai satu bentuk kebebasan baginya.  

“Apa salahnya memakai pakaian moden. Ini adalah kebebasannya. Tiada siapa yang akan mempertanggungjawabkan individu itu melainkan Allah.

“Jadi, mengapa mahu kecoh mengenai isu ini,” kata seorang pengguna yang menjawab komen negatif pada video tersebut.

Harley-Davidson is set to put the Pan America 1250 to a proper test as the all-new adventure bike will compete at the Baja Espana Aragon.

  • the Pan America 1250 will face the scorching heat of the Teruel desert in July. 
  • Joan Pedrero will pilot the stock Pan America 1250. 

While the Milwaukee-based company is well known in the MotoAmerica King of the Baggers series and in American Flat Track, the brand is still unknown for its racing exploit in Europe.

However, things are about to change as Harley-Davidson will send a stock Pan America 1250 piloted by Spanish rider Joan Pedrero to the Spanish Rally.

Although the brand is mostly known for its range of cruisers, the introduction of the Pan America 1250 has taken the brand into new territory and surprisingly well accepted by not just Harley owners’ but also adventure bike enthusiast.

After establishing itself as an off-rad brand of sorts, the Baja Espana Aragon will further imprint the American brand in international racing.

The Baja Espana Aragon, regarded as the most important races in the Spanish All Terrain Rally Championship will celebrate its 38th edition between 22-24 July 2022.

According to Harley-Davidson, the Pan America 1250 will compete in the Trail category.

Harley-Davidson is resuming production of its motorcycles as of June 6, 2022, ending the two-week production halt.

  • the company issued a production shutdown of two weeks due to a regulatory compliance issue.
  • the temporary halt lasted a few days longer than expected.

Harley-Davidson officially shut its production line for two-weeks beginning May 19, but it lasted a few days longer than its initial plans.

Despite no official announcement from the American company, sources in Wall Street Journal claimed that the factory is back in operation.

The resumption of production is said to be happening at both Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, and York, Pennsylvania.

On May 19, 2022, Harley-Davidson stated that the company is officially suspending all motorcycles (excluding LiveWire) assembly and shipments due to supply chain issues.

The all-new Harley-Davidson Low Rider S and Low Rider ST are now available in Malaysia with prices starting from RM115,900.

  •  The Low Rider S and Low Rider ST models combine the superb handling performance of the Harley-Davidson Softail chassis and V-Twin muscle.

  • The all-new Milwaukee-Eight 117 powertrain makes 103hp and a massive 170Nm @ 3,500rpm.

  • The Low Rider ST became the first mass-made Harley-Davidson to feature the 117 Milwaukee-Eight engine.

Harley-Davidson Low Rider S and Low Rider ST will officially launch in Malaysia in less than six months after its global introduction back in January 2022.

Despite sharing the exact blueprint as the 2022 Low Rider S, which includes the Softail chassis and associated components, the Low Rider ST features a different fairing and panniers.

The Low Rider ST also became the company’s first mass-made Harley to adopt the 117 Milwaukee-Eight V-Twin engine, previously reserved for the flagship CVO range.

In addition, the 2022 ST range only offers single-seaters with no passenger footpegs available. To ensure an exciting riding experience, the ST also gain longer rear shocks for better cornering clearance.

Meanwhile, the Low Rider ST is built based on the heavily updated Low Rider S and features the 117 Milwaukee-Eight engine that makes 103hp @ 4,750 rpm and 170Nm @ 3,500rpm. 

Despite the bigger engine, the Low Rider S weighs as much as its predecessor, while the ST version weighs 327 kilograms.

According to Harley, the Low Rider S and ST also gain longer rear shocks allowing better cornering than its predecessor.

Nonetheless, the ST is differentiated by the addition of lockable panniers taken from the Sport Glide. 

While the saddlebags are mounted higher to allow better lean angles, the new fairing, on the other hand, is inspired by the 80s FXRT, which itself followed the same styling from the water-cooled Nova V-4 prototype developed in the 70s.

However, while the air duct on the side of the headlight on the Nova fed air to the under-seat radiator, the one on the Low Rider ST is designed to help airflow around the rider.

Harley-Davidson also replaced the Low Rider S console-mounted gauge with a single mounted instrument that combines an analogue tachometer with a digital speedometer.

 Meanwhile, both the Harley-Davidson Low Rider S and Low Rider ST will be available in two colourways; Vivid Black and Gunship Gray. 

 Customers can view the Harley-Davidson Low Rider S and Low Rider ST on display at Harley-Davidson Petaling Jaya and Route 77 (Harley-Davidson Kuala Lumpur) on the 11 and 12 June 2022.

Sudah tiga tahun sejak Harley-Davidson memperkenalkan motosikal elektrik sulung menerusi LiveWire.

Nama LiveWire itu kemudiannya bertukar kepada sebuah jenama motosikal elektrik dibawah Harley-Davidson dengan motosikal LiveWire tersebut dinamakan semula sebagai LiveWire One.

Tidak lama kemudian, timbul khabar angin bahawa LiveWire akan kembangkan portfolio syarikat dengan model baharu diinspirasikan daripada motosikal ‘flat-track’.

Khabar angin itu akhirnya bertukar realiti apabila LiveWire mendedahkan Del Mar, motosikal elektrik yang lebih ringan dan sesuai untuk tunggangan ‘off-road’.

Sebagai penghargaan kepada pelancaran platform baharu itu, LiveWire memperkenalkan Del Mar edisi terhad yang didatangkan dengan warna dan rim khas di samping menamakan model baharu itu sebagai Del Mar Launch Edition.

Terhad kepada 100 unit, Del Mar Launch Edition ini didatangkan dengan dua warna pilihan, Comet Indigo dan Jasper Gray dengan nombor siri turut dicat di bahagian sisi tangki.

Menariknya, 18 minit selepas pelancaran, kesemua 100 unit telah pun terjual.

Seperti yang dilaporkan sebelum ini, LiveWire Del Mar dibangunkan daripada platform S2 Arrow yang merangkumi bateeri, motor, pengecas dan sistem kawalan.

Platform tersebut juga dijangka akan mewujudkan lebih banyak model elektrik pada masa akan datang.

Menurut info, LiveWire Del Mar ini menawarkan 80hp dan berat sekitar 199kg di samping mampu mencapai jarak lebih 160km/j bagi setiap cas penuh. – CycleWorld
