  1. Another hint: "Established in Toulouse,***** Design gathers more than 25 years experiencing the motorcycle market. Focused on high performance and innovation ***** was already offering small series of “dream bikes” in the early 80’s (Home made frame and bodywork with Japanese motors such as the Vector, Sensor, Lamborghini design). Also involved in motorcycle distribution during 20 years, ***** was keen on market trends and final customers attempts. This point is helpful to be able to conduct vehicle development project respecting industrial feasibility and costing targets."
  2. It is not a 'one-off' as there were at least two made. But it was never mass produced. Cassius Clay might like it. That was a hint.
  3. Strange looking beast.
  4. 1985 Ehrlich Motor Company EMC 250 Rotax powered bike http://raresportbikesforsale.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/EMC_250_1-600x450.jpghttp://raresportbikesforsale.com/tag/ehrlich/
  5. It is claimed to be a V4, but I would call it a square four.
  6. Pretty cool, though. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oeNLMN_RqSI&feature=player_embedded#]Frogman Tim Cotterill Rocket II Trike - YouTube[/ame]

  8. Can't answer your inquiry about the lack of spark, but I admire your scoot. It appears the stock fuel tank is still in place. However, I am wondering where the fuel filler is? Is it under the 'apparent' tank? Or under the seat? What make and model did the 'apparent' fuel tank come from? Did you do all this customizing?
  9. So, Carl? Did you buy a Spyder? Or just wishing? I have been considering one, but the mega dollars (not that it is any more than any other full bore touring motorcycle) is holding me back. I am really, really enamored with the 2014 with the 1300cc triple.
  10. No, it is a wedge style base, as is the 194. The difference is in wattage (the 168 is higher wattage, thus brighter): http://www.elightbulbs.com/catpics/sylvania/34711.jpghttp://www.elightbulbs.com/catpics/sylvania/34761.jpg Here is a list Andy (Cabreco) used: http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=73305 Here is a list of bulbs Al Sigetic used to convert his Venture: http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=61163
  11. Back in the Nineties, Rick Butler and Dave Henderson had a company called Tri-Star Industries, in Dallas, TX that produced and sold various accessories for the first Gen Venture. Quote from Rick's 1993 ad: "Our Own Enlarged Light Tinted Windshields, Std. 26"H X 30"W, or Your Height.....$99.95"
  12. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-utvJqj47RgY/TrLTJGjLiSI/AAAAAAAAQUw/Rpe6B5a4oWU/s1600/russian.rotary1.jpg VNII-Motoprom RD-515 of 1987 used a water-cooled twin-rotor engine, driving through a Dneper gearbox and shaft drive.
  13. Granted it is a custom. But 'custom' what?
  14. 1962 IZH Jupiter http://cybermotorcycle.com/gallery/izh/images/IZH_1962_Cossack_Jupiter_3_13.jpg
  15. :sign yeah that:Yeah, I hate when that happens. I start going into withdrawal.
  16. Either you guys are tired of this game or my entry is really difficult. If it is the latter, here's some hints: Built by Jim Davis. The engine is a Rotax V-twin. A 250mm section width Avon Venom is on the front.
  17. I don't own a Fuzeblock FZ-1, but looking at the dimensions of the block, it appears that it would fit on top of the air box.
  18. I guess Maybeline is away for awhile, so I'll throw another out there for y'all:
  19. Me or the Henderson? http://fristcenter.org/images/sized/content/uploads/exhibition_images/SS-Henderson-700x450.jpg

  21. You don't like those Ventures much do you, Junior.
  22. That is a clown?.... I would hesitate to hire him for a little one's birthday party.
  23. Spot on, Mabeline. Do you have a bike for us to guess? http://www.mondialmotors.it/element/PIEGA2%281024x768%29.jpg
