BECAK fastest



This is the rickshaws fastest in the world! Brand motorcycle Birmingham Small Arms (BSA) is a British vehicle manufacturer of artificial war in 1940 until the 1960s. Engine sizes vary from 150cc to 500cc. However, the most widely used is the 250cc and 500cc. Nah tuh, kebayangkan engine power?
In Siantar (*), the numbers are still quite a lot, about a thousand units. Most of the rickshaws have been modified so that his appearance not frightening anymore. Only a fraction is collected by collectors.

In general, BSA motorcycles go to Indonesia at the transition of Japan to the Allied troops (Dutch-English). BSA and then spread to areas of the Dutch colonies, including the Siantar. But not many people know if the entry of large amounts of BSA motorcycle to Siantar it was not brought by the Dutch army.

"BSA is the remains of the second world war. Dutch who brought her here. But despite previously existing BSA motorcycles in small quantities in Siantar, Siantar own community who played a major role to bring BSA into the city air is cool, "said Erizal Ginter, Chairman of BSA Motorcycle Owners Siantar (BOM's). The time anyway?

When the invaders ran away from Indonesia, BSA motorcycles lost his master. No spare parts and technicians are qualified in Indonesia. BSA Motor fate was tragic consequences. There are 'lying' in the warehouse or are stranded on the streets. BSA motorcycle so damaged goods. Is Grandma Lana (67 years), BOMB'S elders who initiated all this story.

According to Mbah Lana, in 1958, he and his colleagues hunt for BSA up to the island of Java: Surabaya and Jakarta. Both provinces are nest BSA motorcycle. Then BSA motorcycle transported to the "late" Ship Tampomas II in large numbers. Then around the 1960's, Grandma Lana and his colleagues modified the BSA to be made as a motor rickshaw. Since that beginning the City Siantar known as the 'City berBecak BSA'.

"I know the history of the entry of BSA into Siantar. Mbah Lana became a witness of history Siantar bring BSA into this, "said Ginter Erizal who is also a humanist Siantar.
History of BSA in the City Siantar began. The absence of spare parts and technicians began to be solved for BSA motorcycle is not tragic fate as in Surabaya and Jakarta. With hard work, people create their own Siantar BSA spare parts that can not be imported even from where these vehicles are made (Birmingham, England). Siantar people too, especially BSA motorcycle owners, began to learn to dissect the BSA engine.

They can create their own parts for motor BSA. There are several mini-factories that can produce BSA motorcycle spare parts in Siantar. Starting from the carburetor, to the rim. With a little creativity, Kawasaki Binter disulaplah carburetor into the carburetor BSA. Also, do not be surprised to see the rim and an old motorcycle engine block was kinclong tub motor output current year. Pedicab BSA was still tough to explore the streets in the City Siantar. His voice was frenetic, sometimes if passes in front of the house, TV broadcasting, too, tremble. Brum Brum .. .. duk ... duk ... duk ... Brum pletak ... (kok pletak?) Yes, sometimes popping out as a voice muffler bamboo cannon. especially for the engine size 500cc. Moreover, sometimes the brother-brother this rickshaw like fun BSA refuel her with kerosene rather than gasoline. Let cheap! they said. Hahaha, no nonsense.
Because his voice is also, an associate of the Medan call HELICAK. "His voice was rich 'Helicopter yet it turns rickshaw", selorohnya.
Oscillation in the passenger seat as fitted per car steady under tow. Thus, a passenger on the rickshaw is like to ride the swings .... Geot ... geot ... up and down, very comfortable.

In the 1980s, when PSMS-prime terrain was victorious in the competition of the United PSSI, many supporters of Siantar flock to the Stadium Exemplary Pedicab ride this field. This is incredible, considering the distance Siantar-field is 128 km. Come on, tricycles which have traveled that far? If pedicabs in Jogja do it, could well gempor mengkayuhnya! Hehehehe ....
Perhaps, rickshaw pedicab Siantar is the world's fastest, most advanced as well ... maybe even .500 cc! MotoGP could not follow it? Valentino Rossi finished ngebayangin pengen pake BSA! Can be skittish seven generations him! :)
