Just seen it!
Picture 1 looks like a Norton tank on a bedstead with a one sided steering system and the back tyre on arsewards about. I'd like to see a pic of the complete front end to see how the hell it works.

pic 3 raised a vague memory but I had to look it up as a Harfield Clicky
I'me sure I've seen the bike in pic 4, but can I bollox rememer where or what!
pic 5 looks like a Guzzi, bt which one I've no idea. That rear damper looks like it came off a caravan towbar!

1) Norton Featherbed altered by Jack DiFazio

2) John 'Mooneyes' Cooper at Spa Francorchamps

3) Well done Alan, even though you googled it.

4) The base was a Triumph Daytona converted to DOHC.

5) Not a Guzzi, right country though, it is in fact a Lambretta!

I'll look more carefully in future, didn't notice John Coopers helmet!
Wouldn't have recognised the Daytona even the gearbox does look like a trumpet unit.
The last one a lambretta? FFS! Although the brakes look small which should have been a clue!

That Difazio stuff is interesting, I once saw one but couldn't really understand why or how - MORE HERE (clicky including a Suzuki GT550 with HC steering.

Good quiz Bill, you really do find the obscure stuff.

Nice pics. Thanks Bill. That T500's nice. I always did like the 500 twin even though it wasn't as quick as the 550 on the road.
