Guest aironepony Posted March 14, 2006 Posted March 14, 2006 Le Mans Mk2..................... OR........a BFG BFG is derived from the initiators, Louis Boccardo, Dominique Favario and Thierry Grange The concept for the motorcycle is done late 1977 / early 1978 following a compitition that involves getting a car engine into a bike. Early 1981, Louis Boccardo starts builting the first motorcycles. The first bikes are sold in February 1982. The french Gendamerie buys a few hundred bikes. Near the end of 1983 when about 400 bikes have been built, BFG has (financial) problems. MBK buys BFG for 1 franc and continues the production. More then 150 bikes are built under MBK leadership. (English as spoken in France!!!)

But really, I couldn't possibly comment, as I'm still waiting for confirmation that I can have the point if I give the correct answer.
belfastguzzi Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 It's a Le mans mk1.......... 82142[/snapback] If only. Can someone tell me if I get the point if I beat hairypony to the correct answer. Quickly please. Time is running out!

Time is running out! 82163[/snapback] No-one's going to give you a quiz point for remembering what you bought: get over it, and tell us what you've got . Jaap, if he gets a point for this, I want one for remembering my password.
Baldini Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 ....No-one's going to give you a quiz point for remembering what you bought: ... ...if only I had points to give! If BFG's memory's anything like mine he's worth the point....except I just noticed there's a late entry snuck in to deliver the coup de grace - like shootin fish in a barrel eh Mike! - hope you can sleep easily knowing how much that point meant to Belfast. Give the point to BFG for loyalty to the breed! KB

Guest aironepony Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 This is it........................... or it should be.........even if it's not. .............Swiss cows have bells round their necks because their horns don't work.. .............
belfastguzzi Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 I can confirm that the correct answer has now been given, unfortunately not by me. (What was the question?)
DeBenGuzzi Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 What exaclty IS going on here? I'll mark this one under. "what happens when too much time is spent in google" or Google-eyed.
badmotogoozer Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 What exaclty IS going on here? 82279[/snapback] It would appear that Barfest has got himself a cowie bike. Rj
