    It was a typo. He meant to hit the key below 'h'. The 'b' key. You fill in the rest!

    I would like to go but first it is too short a notice for me and second 'what is VME?'. It is about 2.5 hrs to Seattle from home so perhaps someday.
  3. helicopterjim R.I.P.
    No.
  4. helicopterjim R.I.P.
    Carry on then!!

    So anyone who guessed 250 cc for the Pannonia would be correct in any meaningful sense?
  6. helicopterjim R.I.P.
    Anyone want me to give the answer to this one or would you prefer some hints?
  7. helicopterjim R.I.P.
    Yes, it does seem that what is necessary is not always what is asked for in the quiz.

    He was one of my favourites. He is rumoured to have extracted a tooth from a fan once - without novocaine!! My other favourites. Heikki Mikkola. The Flying Finn Rolf Tiblin. He didn't need suspension - he was the suspension!! I believe it was Bob Hannah that was seated beside him at an awards banquet and he challenged Rolf to a race. Rolf said "Ja but I get to choose the bikes". The race never happened!

    That would be Brough Superior. They even had assent from Rolls Royce to use that line! Yes he did win the Senior Isle of Man TT in 1914.

    I'd say give the point to g.forrest as he appared to have the right answer before I appeared to.

    Name of bike. What was this bike billed as when introduced! What achievement did the founder of the company accomplish in 1914. (Not neccesary for point!)

    We used to have lots of bantams on the farm I grew up on until my sister brought home a 'fleur de lis'. We thought it was a real girly bird until it started killing all the male bantams. No one had noticed the spurs on this bird. It took him less than 2 days to be 'cock o' the roost'!!!

    Why unfortunately?
  15. helicopterjim R.I.P.
    Why Enzo, of course, and lucky for you Enzo lives in Seattle. However as he sometimes seems to be larger than life (whether in his own mind or otherwise) I doubt it will be possible to kill him.

    Big Brute V8 Super Cycles and API Big Brute Racing Automatics are manufactured by API-Racing Inc. So who gets the point? I did ask for the correct answer.

    Guzzi could sell lots of stickers with stuff like that on them. How would you ever tell them ...
  19. helicopterjim R.I.P.
    In order to give the correct answer you have to do exactly that - give the correct answer!
  20. helicopterjim R.I.P.
    Good for you Belfast except for one thing. I'm still waiting for the right answer.
  21. helicopterjim R.I.P.
    Am so!! Specially since I qualified for a stumper before you did!!
  22. helicopterjim R.I.P.
    Ok. If you don't enjoy the old stuff here is a bike that is presently in production. Name the manufacturer and country of manufacture.
  23. helicopterjim R.I.P.
    Serge really is a biker!!
  24. helicopterjim R.I.P.
    Ok. We miss him but it doesn't mean we want him back!! More like we are at the gun range and we .... miss him?

    For those of us who only speak English here are some conversions. 66 kW - 88.5 hp 89 Nm - 66.4 lbft 67.5 kW - 90.5 hp 100 Nm - 73.6 lbft They seem to have found a lot of torque that some people have noted as lacking in the Griso and Breva. No big change in horsepower but I suspect they may have those motors making power like they were meant to produce. I would like to know more about what they have done to the bikes.
