German automaker BMW (Bayerische Motoren Werke) has produced motorcycles since 1923. Since then, BMW has been responsible for a number of innovations that figured in the development of the modern motorcycle. Today, BMW produces motorcycles under its BMW Motorrad brand.

Origins
BMW produced a number of products prior to its motorcycle manufacturing, most notably aircraft engines. In 1921, BMW began producing a boxer engine and sold it to several German motorcycle makers. When the engine proved a success, BMW launched a program to design and develop its own motorcycles starting with the R32 in 1923. Among the innovations pioneered with the R32 was the placement of the cylinder heads, which were positioned pointing outward where the passing air would more effectively cool the engine during operation. The R32 also featured a shaft drive that was like the solid drive shaft in a modern car rather than a chain or belt drive system. World War II During World War II, motorcycles provided the German military with a series of strategic and operational advantages. Motorcycles could carry a small number of troops and equipment swiftly between locations. The German government enlisted other manufacturing companies to produce motorcycles in conjunction with BMW. The shaft drive and air-cooled cylinder heads were particularly effective in motorcycles that operated under the harsh conditions of the war’s African arena. As a means of combating the German motorcycle advantage, American and other allied industries attempted to copy the BMW design elements to produce equally effective military motorcycles.

Post War
Germany’s defeat in World War II was especially harsh on BMW. Many of its manufacturing facilities had been destroyed and the availability of raw materials for new production was poor. For a time, BMW was forbidden to produce motorcycles because of their combat applications. When motorcycle production did resume, it was forced to start over since no record of manufacturing methods or motorcycle designs survived. Old models were analyzed and copied as closely as possible. Gradually BMW emerged from financial ruin as recreational motorcycle popularity grew in the United States. By the end of the 1950s, large numbers of motorcycles were being exported to the United States annually.

THE NOBLE EIGHTFOLD PATH

When the Buddha gave his first sermon in the Deer Park, he began the ‘Turning of the Dharma Wheel’. He chose the eautiful symbol of the wheel with its eight spokes to represent the Noble Eightfold Path. The Buddha’s teaching goes round and round like a great wheel that never stops, leading to the central point of the wheel, the only point which is fixed, Nirvana. The eight spokes on the wheel represent the eight parts of the Noble Eightfold Path. Just as every spoke is needed for the wheel to keep turning, we need to follow each step of the path.

Right View: The right way to think about life is to see the world through eyes of the Buddha—with wisdom and compassion.
Right Thought: We are what we think. Clear and kind thoughts build good, strong characters.
Right Speech: By speaking kind and helpful words, we are respected and trusted by everyone.
Right Conduct: No matter what we say, others know us from the way we behave. Before we criticize others, we should first see what we do ourselves.
Right Livelihood: This means choosing a job that does not hurt others. The Buddha said, “Do not earn your living by harming others. Do not seek happiness by making others unhappy.”
Right Effort: A worthwhile life means doing our best at all times and having good will towards others. This also means not wasting effort on things that harm ourselves and others.
Right Mindfulness: This means being aware of our thoughts, words, and deeds.
Right Concentration: Focus on one thought or object at a time. By doing this, we can be quiet and attain true peace of mind.

Following the Noble Eightfold Path can be compared to cultivating a garden, but in Buddhism one cultivates one’s wisdom. The mind is the ground and thoughts are seeds. Deeds are ways one cares for the garden. Our faults are weeds. Pulling them out is like weeding a garden. The harvest is real and lasting happiness.
