  1. The ducati trellis frame is nearly always attached to a Ducati sportsbike engine. Uniquely, this trellis frame is attached to a bottle-nose dolphin. You do want blood from a stone, don't you? The engine in a Ducati trellis is a stressed member. While this engine doesn't appear too 'stressed', it does appear to be an integral part of the frame structure, along with the trellis.
  2. The other design feature could be the use of telescopic forks.
  3. It's a spring frame! Is that what your quiz title refers to? (compare which frames?)
  4. Good enough for a measly point, surely?
  5. The suspension system seems odd. Does the whole engine & transmission unit pivot on a central pin? Crikey. That was going to be my next invention.
  6. and was the model known as the 'Rocket', despite the unique design feature of being underpowered?
  7. It had 2 nifty silencers with spaceship fins on 'em for helping to get yer boots off after a hard day's slow riding.
  8. Der affe ist im Bau M dubya
  9. p.m. me
  10. Make IMN Industria Meccanica Napoletana Model 200 Country of Origin Italy 2 unique design features. 1) It was over-priced, 2) it was under-powered It was an innovative shaft driven OHV horizontally opposed twin, built in 1956.
  11. The correct mothertongue of the fatherland is: 'können Sie diesbezüglich verwenden verlegen Ihre gute Mutter und das springtongue wieder?' So I think that what you mean to say is actually: 'can you in this connection use to shift your good nut/mother and the springtongue again?' in which case, you really ought to be asking in the Technical Topics Forum. I would say that a special tool or two is probably needed, but I'm sure that there's a Scandinavian bloke somewhere who does a fine handcrafted kit.
  12. Go to the Tenni Forum. That works just as well...
  13. Intriguing. Tell us more.
  14. It's about time that we had a good spring thread again.
  15. He spluttered in it. But hey, never mind about giving the probing questions – prepare to be on the receiving end... I predict around 10.30pm, earth time.
  16. primavera = Frühling as we like to say when using the mothertongue of ze fatherland
  17. Waldwinkel des Drosselventilhebels
  18. as Rick Wakeman said to Keith Emerson
  19. It's chilly chaps, very chilly. But good luck and have fun.
  20. Nein, such Korrupt speaking-pollution doesn't mak me smaile et alle. However, after refining some of that swill through delicate translation machines, the purified result does make me smile, slightly. The last few sentences, in Proper German: Und efter CCU fifz mehr mehr yer, VE vil Aluminium speking Deutsche wie zey vunted in die CCU Waldwinkel des Drosselventilhebels. Wenn zis WAD es smil, Vorwände pas auf Tonne oza pepl. And in Proper English: And efter CCU fifz more more yer, VE vil aluminum speking Germans like zey vunted in CCU forest angles of the throttle lever. If zis WAD it smil, pretexts pas on ton oza pepl. or, as there seems to be some dispute about the correct contextualisation of Drosselventilhebels: And efter CCU fifz more more more yer, VE vil aluminum speking Germans like zey vunted into the CCU forest angles of the butterfly valve lever. If zis WAD it smil, pretexts pas on ton oza pepl.
  21. It's from Moto Guzzi Land > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nutella but it's a fave in USA too, I'm sure. Delicous fact of the month is that enough jars of Nutella are sold each year to cross the US 9 times (in a line, not spread). Please see http://www.nutellausa.com/ for hours of enjoyment for both you and your V.11
  22. Dunno about Quiz 12, but I seem to have answered this one correctly.
  23. Yes, well it's about time he joined the club.
  24. Impossible (not that I wouldn't mind trying )
