    The History of Motorcycle Suspension

    Part 3 of our 4-part series takes us in a new direction. Our 13th podcast explores motorcycle suspension systems and we follow the history of the suspension technologies from the earliest motorcycle innovators such as the British company, Ariel through to the most modern and complicated suspensions of today. As always, we look at the motorbikes that introduced new technologies and are surprised to discover how the BMW R80GS directly influenced the design of the Honda RC30. ***************************** Welcome to the Talking the Talk the podcast where Ireland Made® Founder Kevin Reid along with co-host, Automotive Engineering Consultant, Mike Keane explore the journey of automotive technology into mass production and the impact this has had on our motoring lives.   The final episode in our 4-part series will explore the story of motorcycle dynamics.

    The Story of Vehicle Dynamics

    Our 12th podcast is the 2nd in our 4-part mini-series and looks at the story of vehicle dynamics. In our podcasts, we often identify the people that were instrumental in bringing new concepts, technologies or cars to production. The story of vehicle dynamics is unique in that it owes so much to the work of one Welsh man. We talk about this engineer and his ground-breaking work at General Motors. We talk about some of the core principles of vehicles dynamics and how we as drivers experience those behaviours. ***************************** Welcome to the Talking the Talk the podcast where Ireland Made® Founder Kevin Reid along with co-host, Automotive Engineering Consultant, Mike Keane explore the journey of automotive technology into mass production and the impact this has had on our motoring lives.   Upcoming podcasts in our 4-part mini-series will explore the story of motorcycle suspension and motorcycle dynamics.   ***************************** Kevin Reid  Founder - Ireland Made®   On his Ireland Made® platform Kevin celebrates stories of Irish transport past and present.

    The History of Suspension Systems

    Our 11th podcast explores automobile suspension systems. In this episode we look at why and how wheels have been attached to the vehicle and the various challenges the suspension engineers overcame in order to balance the comfort and performance. General Motors created ground-breaking developments in the 1930s that we still benefit from today and as always there are a few surprises such as the very common system that was first introduced on the low-volume 1970 Mercedes Benz C111 sports car. ***************************** Welcome to the Talking the Talk the podcast where Ireland Made® Founder Kevin Reid along with co-host, Automotive Engineering Consultant, Mike Keane explore the journey of automotive technology into mass production and the impact this has had on our motoring lives.   Upcoming podcasts will explore the story of vehicle dynamics, motorcycle suspension and motorcycle dynamics.   ***************************** Kevin Reid  Founder - Ireland Made®   On his Ireland Made® platform Kevin celebrates stories of Irish transport past and present.

    The History of Steering Systems

    Our 10th podcast looks at the history of steering systems. As always in our podcasts we identify the cars that first brought new technologies to production. For the steering systems, many rather obscure cars such as the Subaru XT6 and the Suzuki Cervo have led the way. The precision and feel of the steering system significantly determine the driver’s confidence and enjoyment, but sometimes these attributes were in conflict, resulting in US cars emphasising comfort and European and Japanese cars prioritising accuracy. ***************************** Welcome to the Talking the Talk the podcast where Ireland Made® Founder Kevin Reid along with co-host, Automotive Engineering Consultant, Mike Keane explore the journey of automotive technology into mass production and the impact this has had on our motoring lives.   Upcoming podcasts will explore the history of suspension systems, motorcycle styling and badge engineering.   ***************************** Kevin Reid  Founder - Ireland Made®   On his Ireland Made® platform Kevin celebrates stories of Irish transport past and present.

    The History of Body Structures

    Our 9th podcast explores automobile body structures. We discuss the history of body types, construction methods and the materials used in vehicles.
