Maybe they think it is me!

Lurking about the factory on the weekend , eh! Wearing a raincoat?

Don't hold back. I'm really enjoying the photo's of your bike. It looks fantastic. Let us know what modifications you have done to it as well. Great looking bike!!

Now that would make me vomit!!! How be you, Steve and I form a tribunal and mete out justice ... I mean quiz points, as we see fit. See if Martin gets any then!! Negative points for wrong answers!!!

Oy! Your post says photo's - plural!!!! Come on, let's see the rest of them then!!

If it is completely out of whack perhaps you should add some quickly before it seizes up. Oh.... sorry, thats trispeeds viscosity thread. Just hit it with something!

Are you taking reservations Pete? I'd like to sign up for my next visit to OZ!!!

There is nothing new there, Martin. Lots of bored helicopter pilots waiting in some camp in the middle of some swamp in Northern Canada have been perfecting stupid fly tricks for years. The preferred fly is the horsefly - possibly named as it seems to have the most horsepower!! The trick is to catch the fly and then crazy glue a piece of thread to its back. Then you can walk around with your little fly on a leash. This leads to making little parachutes from tissue paper. The parachute shroud lines are then attached to the flies back and it is released to fly around the camp kitchen. It usually takes 3 or 4 of them before the camp cook throws you out. One that I helped perfect is to attach 2 or 3 toothpicks on a piece of thread and then glue the thread to to stomach of the fly. It is then released to go heli-logging!!! This popular sport is believed to have originated from the game of sticking a piece of grass up the arse of a horsefly and letting it go. The grass will put the centre of gravity so far back that the fly can only climb vertically and not descend. If anyone has ever experienced how viscious and annoying horseflies can be they will understand the popularity of this sport.

I'll let Jaap decide if anyone gets a point. Interesting quiz site.

Next quiz. Make, model, year, country of manufacture and engine manufacturer.

Ok. You can use your search engines now!

Guesses only count if they are right.

Who are the authors of these quotes and what companies did they work for!! "Americans are not going to buy four-cylinder motorcycles". "No, we are not worried about competition from Honda. All they are doing is making customers for our big bikes." I know that if you google search you will find the answer immediately so perhaps you will try search your brains. If that is no fun then I will not bother with this type of quiz.

Ok then who is the Tiger Williams and the Bob Probert of M/C racing? Who is the Tim Horton?

I agree with Pete wholeheartedly. From the above points I would like to highlight the 'do not lug it' !! This goes for any time in the life of an engine. The stress on an engine from lugging it is equal to that of running full throttle. Aircraft engines have manifold pressure guages even on non supercharged engines to indicate whether or not you are lugging the engine. I would also like to mention that it is a good idea to use basic motor oil for break-in, never synthetics or fancy oils with lots of additives. This does not help for break-in. After 5000 km or so then spend your money on good oil. I especially agree with Pete on the last point. That is how I like to ride any bike and my V11 is no exception ........and their are only two tits left on it!!!!!

How about both. I'm getting some extra bodywork for both bikes and may just play around a bit this winter. I have not decided on a colour scheme yet so I may keep this post in mind!!!

Keep us posted on how it turns out - with pictures too!!

Give the man a point!! Now going back to the movie "No Limits", did George Shuttleworth set a lap record or win the TT on the Shuttleworth Snap? How did he accomplish this great feat?

LEMMINGS CAN RIDE.....AND CRASH!!!

This answer is closer.

Sorry! Not correct.

Clean it up and see what it's like to ride. If it needs lots of money that you don't want to spend then sell it as is. Always give an old bike a chance at life!

Since the roads are wet here in British Columbia it is time to stave off boredom with a quiz forum revival!! Name the bike and who rode it!
