Ferrari tribute motorcycle
Much ado about nothing?
Many websites around the world have reported incorrectly on this beast, including the infamous Top Gear program. All have reported that this is the only Ferrari motorcycle ever built. A small amount of research would have made it clear that is not true.
As it is the tribute Ferrari is just that, designed and built by David Kay Engineering. Kay previously worked for MV Agusta and was granted permission from Piero Ferrari to use the Ferrari badge on this motorcycle. It shows in that the bike looks as if it is really just a replica MV Agusta with a Ferrari tank transfer and some modified body work. Ferrari never laid a spanner on the bike, delectable as it is despite the badge engineering involved. Despite this the bike has sold for enormous amounts of money at auction.

Harely Davidson “hog” boys
Beginning in 1920, a team of farm boys, including Ray Weishaar, who became known as the “hog boys,” consistently won races. The group had a live hog as their mascot. Following a win, they would put the hog on their Harley and take a victory lap. In 1983, the Motor Company formed a club for owners of its product taking advantage of the long-standing nickname by turning “hog” into the acronym HOG., for Harley Owners Group. Harley-Davidson attempted to trademark “hog”, but lost a case against an independent Harley-Davidson specialist, The Hog Farm of West Seneca, NY, in 1999 when the appellate panel ruled that “hog” had become a generic term for large motorcycles and was therefore unprotectable as a trademark.

Isle of Man TT
The Isle of Man TT was for many years the most prestigious motor-cycle race in the world.
Between 1907 and 2009 there have been 237 deaths during official practices or races on the Snaefell Mountain Course.
1975 GT500 Suzuki
The throughly reliable, easy riding and surprisingly pokey Suzuki GT500 two stroke twin. This example is a licensed street scratcher and not a precious concourse machine. The GT500 was detuned somewhat from the pre-1973 T500s but had the advantage of a well overdue front disk brake, better front forks, the bigger tank inherited from the GT750 and electronic ignition.
