    You're alright: it's just manufacturers you need to worry about.

    That of course leads to enormous competitive presures between acrohomic
    companies.

    Fortunately there aren't too many of them. It's sad about Vincent and
    Velocette, of course. The commercial war between them was a tragic
    affair. No more so than that between Brough and BMW, of course, but BMW
    were a lot more cunning and there were always those rumours of secret
    government[1] support.

    [1] Not the last time that's happened, of course: how else can one explain
    the survival of Harley-Davidson in the presence of Honda?

    Simple. Septics have no sense or taste and too much money.

    What about these two Kawasakis, then?

  8. I saw him once on TV wearing a black tee shirt with Velocette on it.

    I suppose though, if he had a Lacoste (sp?) tee shirt it doesn't mean that
    he owns a crocodile...

    Only one *manufacturer*. If you had a Dnepr and a Ducati you'd be in
    trouble.

    The Dnepr's actually made by KMZ.

    manufacturer or model name?

  13. I'd need to check in my old copies of Hansard.
    Might be best to ask a policeman?

    Your only hope is to claim it isn't actually a motor/bike/.

    Um, misty-eyed fat american rommantics watching "Easy-Rider" and
    realising that they can buy the designer outlaw look and that not
    washing or shaving are possibly an advantage in this area?

    Perhaps?
