  1. TX Just do like we used to do to the retarded guy back home where I grew up. Have a pissing contest to see who can pee on the little rectangular thing on the wall - and let him win!
  2. Thankyou for the great slide show! I think you did a great job of photographing the bikes. Makes we wish I could have been there.
  3. Been saving this one. I need the make, model/displacement and year!
  4. Better still - be like me. Ride the hell outta the bike and don't check nuthin'. After all it is a Guzzi!
  5. Damn near pissed my pants readin' this one!
  6. Rumour has it that Piaggio wants the 1200 V8 to have square pistons!
  7. Be very careful travelling through the interior. The Fraser Canyon is now more patrolled as is the stretch from Cache Creek to Quesnel. I don't have any more specifics right now. P.S. I'm not sure but I think Martin Barrett is a copper! Keep it quiet. I don't want him to find out we know.
  8. I would say you are correct. As "big J" pointed out this is a member of the "Purple Helmets". The entire front fork and wheel assembly is changed (disc brake) as are the rear shocks. Any other changes are beyond me!
  9. Here in British Columbia the traffic fine revenues now go to the municipalities so there is a lot of local pressure to nail every granny going 3 km over the speed limit. They now set up radar traps on remote highways with very little traffic where they know people speed because they are not endangering anyone but themselves. This way they can expect to hand out the highest of fines. I know this from a friend who is a member of the Revenue Collecting Motorized Patrol.
  10. I got off once! The policeman said I had an honest face and he must be wrong. If you think that sounds funny, it is the truth. Just ask Gord at Valley sometime!
  11. Is that Buckwheat on the right side?
  12. I was wondering when you would arrive on the scene. Give the man a point Jaap. He aced it again although he should share in the "kill" with the rest of the squadron!
  13. Well on this one I believe you don't get get full point(s). You still have not named the make of motorcycle. As for sleeping it is only 6:00 pm here in the west part of the colonies!
  14. Correct guess on the engine. Still need manufacturer.
  15. Can anyone determine what kind of bike this is? Hint. You have to notice there is a bike in the picture! Also the name of the group of riders who condone and perform this kind of activity.
  16. About 130 km east of Vancouver, BC, Canada's worth of colonial. Those ones to the south are the rebellious ones who changed their last name! It's not a Cotton either. the engine make has been mentioned earlier but not confirmed.
  17. Ah'm no a Yank, ye (this next part isn't nice to say - even to an Irishman)! I'm not from north of Hadrians Wall either but I have been there and to the Emerald Isle as well. I'm not sure if you are asking if the first bike in the quiz has a Blackburne engine or the Teuchter. The one in the quiz does not.
  18. There is the Cyclaid but it only featured as a clip on motor for bicycles, built by British Salmson in Lanarkshire, Scotland from 1950 to 1956. Then there is the New Gerrard, founded around 1922 in Scotland by ex-racer Jock Porter. Made a single 346cc ohv JAP-engined machine throughout the 1930s, closed in 1940.
  19. You just wanted to see an Irishmans name on the forum! I wonder if there have ever been any Scottish motorcycles? A 250 Teuchter perhaps?
  20. Is not the lawyer your enemy?
  21. No but you are on the right track.
  22. Translated for French it means "the mans" which if you speak it with a French accent comes out as "You monsieur, are ze mans!" which maybe the greatest compliment a Frenchman can give to an Englishman. It also may be the biggest insult but then the English were never bright enough to know these things.
  23. Correct. 1924 Terrot manufactured in France. Two down - one to go! Jaap can sort out the points on this one.
