2012 Harley-Davidson 10th Anniversary Edition V-Rod Review

I distinctly recall the first time I saw Harley-Davidson’s V-Rod. With its long, low and slender profile, silvery paint from tip to tail and an eye-catching aluminum solid front wheel it was hard to miss, even in a crowded parking lot.
It seems like only a couple years ago I first gazed upon this Harley, but folks, the reality is that 10 years have passed since the tradition-busting V-Rod first rolled into the Harley lineup. Ten years! To mark the ‘Rod’s notable birthday Harley has created a 10th Anniversary Edition V-Rod as part of the company’s 2012 model lineup. The 10th joins the Night Rod Special and Muscle, making the VRSC series a family of three for this year.
Much like the 2002 V-Rod, the anniversary edition is also gleaming with a silver color job in homage to the original. More than just sentimental paint, however, the 10th Anniversary model receives some worthwhile updates aimed at improving rider comfort and handling.

New Intel Core i5 and i7 processors

Up to 1.7x faster at the core.

New quad-core Intel Core i5 processors are standard on the new iMac. Choose a 21.5-inch iMac with a 2.5GHz or 2.7GHz quad-core Intel Core i5. Or expand your view with a 27-inch iMac featuring a 2.7GHz or 3.1GHz quad-core Intel Core i5. You can even configure iMac with the fastest quad-core processor available — the Intel Core i7. All models use Intel’s recently refined chipsets. That means the new iMac performs nearly twice as fast as the previous generation,1 adding a new dimension of speed to everything you do. And since Mac OS X is designed to take advantage of each core, it captures every last bit of performance from the processor.

Golf Driving Range, tempat latihan membungkuk?

Oleh: Abimanyu Wachjoewidajat
 

Dipastikan pegolf pernah menggunakan Driving Range karena disanalah tempat pegolf berlatih baik untuk practising (dari mulai belajar memukul bola, berlatih mengarahkan bola sampai untuk mencoba Golf Club yg baru). Pada berbagai Driving Range (yang banyak tersebar dimana-mana) kini sudah jarang ditemui Driving Bay yang masih dilengkapi alat untuk menaruh bola pada Tee. Mungkin karena memang tidak ada ataupun sudah rusak. Tee adalah suatu plastik kecil yang berguna untuk menyangga bola agar dapat melayang diatas permukaan sehingga dapat mudah dipukul saat Teeing Off (pukulan awal).  Apabila kita berlatih menggunakan Wood 3 keatas atau Iron umumnya tidak membutuhkan Tee tetapi seperti kita ketahui bahwa bila kita berlatih menggunakan Driver (atau Wood 1) atau bagi para pemula dalam menggunakan Iron sekalipun maka maka Tee tetap diperlukan.
