Essay. Opinion paragraph.

                                             New technologies applied to transports
    
     For years, many brands have tried to introduce electric vehicles, but with no success, because big enterprises weren't interested in those projects, but now, electric vehicles are becoming more and more popular due to their low prizes and because they're more economical in the long term. Although fuel-powered vehicles control the market nowadays, electric vehicles are taking advantage over them, and they are making the bases of what transports will be in the future.

     Not long time ago, small cars that could take two or even three people all around the city with an only battery charge were created, but many countries refused to introduce them, but now, great grands as Renault, Toyota and even BMW have created their own electric vehicles line, making them closer to the population. Those cars combine the ecological engine and the comfort of an electric car with the reliability of great brand names.

     But not only cars' industry can build electric vehicles, recently, such a great brand as Harley-Davidson has created their first all-electric motorbike, the Harley-Davidson Livewire. Actually, it's just a project where the brand invites Harley owners to try their latest creation around the american geography, but it's also an excellent way to convince people of how an electric vehicle can be as good, or even better, as a traditional one. If this project finish successfully, Harley Davidson will start producing those bikes massively as one of their bikes.

     In conclusion, electric vehicles offer reliability, low cost, great comfort, they produce no sound and eliminate pollution, it renews the market and offer new possibilities to expand and grow enterprises that will employ people and that would help to the economy. But if you still think that this is just a fashion and you're asking yourself why electric vehicles and not fuel powered ones, I'd tell you that we left Middle Age not because of a fashion, but because of the introduction of improvements.

Problem-Solution paragraph.

Global pollution is a problem which affects to all of us and can have terrible consequences. Always, but specially twentieth and twenty-first century, humans have been polluting the earth and we do nothing to solve it. We could reduce pollution by controlling CO2 emissions caused by petrol usage in factories and cars, but the problem is that petrol, nowadays, is one of the most important energy resources and it can't be limited or forbidden.
Another solution could be to investigate and discover new renovable energy resources, but they are very expensive and don't produce enough energy to be a real alternative, and finding such a powerful renovable resource would take very long.
I think the solution for that problem could be to use hybrid engines in cars, reducing that way the use of petrol, and use  natural gas as fuel in factories because it produces no wastes when it's burned, meanwhile new renovable and clean energy resources should be investigated.
Reducing, or even eliminate pollution is posible, but sometimes, enterprises are not interested in stop producing petrol because id the fuel which moves today's world and it's extremely well paid.

Comparing text: Two brands, two stories, one pride.

In this text I'll compare the two principal motorcycles brands in my blog, Harley Davidson and Triumph. They're both great bike builders, they were based in 20th century and almost in the same year, but Triumph became famous instantly and Harley found it a bit more difficult, but another similarity is that they both distributed motorcycles during the World War I, Triumph at the beginning and Harley after the entrance of the United States in the champaign, this event economically helped both companies, however, Triumph couldn't be able to keep growing up and Japanese companies became more popular due to their low prizes, but Harley could compete them thanks to their quality.
The last similitude is that both brands produced racing models used in many competitions, that helped them to make a place in the market as two of the greatest brands ever.

When he was Young. Description paragraph.

Today I'd like to leave the main subject of my blog on one side because of some news that I recently learned about, and which I couldn't overlook, the retirement of one of the greatest guitarists in the world due to some health problems. This is the story of Malcolm Young. Even though he was always under the shadow of his young brother Angus, AC/DC would have never had such a characteristic sound if it hadn't been for Malcolm. That's why he has become a reference for me, without being really noticed, he changed music histoy and the way many people thought about rock n roll. His generosity by giving his role of leading guitar to his younger brother Angus and all that it entails is for me an example of how music bands should be. Many of the intros or riffs that we all know like "Highway to Hell", "Thunderstruck" and an infinite list of songs were written by him, songs which are now on our imaginary. On stage his guitar was always second best, but in the backstage he was the leader and who took important decisions, paradoxically he had "the singer voice". This is not the first time he hags out his guitar, in 1988, after Brian Scott's death, he became aware of his alcochol addiction and decided to take a break untill he overcame it, he came back the following year. Today, at 61 years old his retirement becomes final due to dementia, and he's now at a famous residence in Sydney. I hope people to respect the privacy of one of the Rock's Hall of Fame members because it's a really hard disease and him to take it as well as posible. Thanks.

New triumph models!!

For those days I was visiting Triumph's web page looking for something to write when something called my attention, an special model of the Triumph Thruxton, something was different in that bike, it wasn't like the rest so I decided to investigate.
The Triumph Thruxton is inspired in the sixties, on an american bikes called 'coffee racers', they was called that way because they were used to race from coffee to coffee along the old roads like the route 66. They were very modified bikes prepared to reach a high speed in a short time and make a lot of noise, they used to be single-seater, making the bike more aerodynamic.
Putting all this together we get a babulous bike which mixes the sound, shape and style of coffee racers with the reliability and quality of a great brand as Triumph, making this bike one of the best ones.
