belfastguzzi Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Who can come up with the best list of motorbike names, which connect with the list here? Preferably a model as well as the manufacturer, for each beast. A bonus BFG point for best identification of the bike make / model that the two chaps ride. The leg-wear is a bit of a giveaway, but judge for yourself. Link to comment
mike wilson Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Hmmm. Ducati (Apollo...) Guzzi (Falcone) Scott Flying Squirrel Jay Leno's garage (the only corvid I could find associated with motorcycles) Honda Hawk I'm sure one of the more obscure pre-war manufacturers did a Flying Fox (Montgomery?) Guzzi Jackal (aka Coyote) The men obviously ride a sidevalve V-twin BSA sidecar outfit. I mean, where else would you feel positively stylish in a pair of waders? Link to comment

So more definite details are required. I might even ask for pictures. Depends what the 'waders' are made of. Now, if they were to be leather... (not that I'm insisting that they are) Anyway, I'm off to London and then Brussels. Need to make sure that Jihem is maintaining a healthy diet of raw horse mince. That there list sure is making me hungry Link to comment
mike wilson Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 AJW - the Flying Fox, the Speedfox and the bike you showed, the Fox Cub. http://www.cybermotorcycle.com/archives/sp...aybikes/ajw.htm Thinking further about the gents and their relaxed attitude to life, I am becoming convinced that they ride one of those BSA sidecar outfit taxis that were so popular during the interwar years.

Skeeve Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Well, as everyone else has pretty much already provided the list [Ducati, Moto Guzzi, Scott, Honda, Triumph (only obvious connection, due to Sheryl Crow's song "Steve McQueen"), AJW, Titan (Harley Clone)], the only real question remaining is "what motorcycle do the hunters ride" which is actually the easiest of the quiz, since it only be the inimitable... ROKON! Link to comment

callison Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Back in the day, I had a 50cc Italjet "Vampire" road racer. My buddy had a BSA 250cc "Beagle". Laverda's were sold as "American Eagles" for a while in the USA in the early 1970's although I'm not certain that would count. Link to comment
mike wilson Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Apparently, the two gents are actually Roper and VASean. The waders are for collecting a certain excreteable fluid in order to later reingest it during the arduous crossing of continental USA. Or maybe soaking your feet in it counteracts trench foot. Rubber chooks are not optional; clothing and hundredweights of spanners, tuning aids and spares are. Link to comment
