https://advrider.com/what-do-y...otorcycle-companies/ <--- quiz link 'There’s no shortage of good motorcycle manufacturers at the moment. Current manufacturers bring us many motorcycle types for different uses like street, dirt, enduro, dual-sport, adventure, trials, etc. But there’s an even longer list of motorcycle manufacturers that are now defunct. The company’s demise may have been caused by many different things like the Depression, war, or just poor products. However, it’s these companies that are the subject of this week’s quiz. Each of the correct answers to our questions is a now-defunct motorcycle manufacturer. I’m going to suggest that this is a difficult quiz. If you are not a dedicated motorcycle history buff, you will likely find this quiz to be hard. Let’s call this one an 8 out of 10 in the degree of difficulty.' I got 9/10. Freakin' jeenyus, I tell ya. ____________________ | ||

7 out of 10 for me. My childhood buddy had a Rupp. It was badass. And in HS school, I helped a buddy short track a Bultaco. Anyone ever own a.... Zundapp? End of Earth: 2 Miles Upper Peninsula: 4 Miles | |||

7/10 here. Did better than I thought I would. The ones I knew, I KNEW. The ones I didn't, I had no clue at all. Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent. | |||

6 of 10. Some of those questions were - as they warned - pretty obscure. | |||

Ten out of ten! I thought the carbon fiber one was going to be my downfall. BSA, owned four of them over the years. Missed out buying a Vincent in ‘71, probably a good thing though. -------------------------------------—————— ————————--Ignorance is a powerful tool if applied at the right time, even, usually, surpassing knowledge(E.J.Potter, A.K.A.

8/10 but my mistakes were the very early ones which is eta i don’t follow or care for. but fun “So in war, the way is to avoid what is strong, and strike at what is weak.” | |||

Yep, I did in the early '60's. Zundapp 200Cc 2 stroke single, pre mix oil and gas. Bought it from a guy who couldn't get it running. A fresh spark plug got it up on its feet in a hurry. Other German motorcycle firms who went belly up years after WWII were NSU, DKW, Horex (looked like a Triumph). BMW motorcycles almost folded a couple of times in the late '60's. Anyone who rode a 2 stroke always carried a new spark plug and tool. ********* "Some people are alive today because it's against the law to kill them". | |||

8/10 Admittedly I've read way too many books about cycles. “Posterity! You will never know how much it cost the present Generation to preserve your Freedom! I hope you will make good use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in Heaven, that I ever took half the Pains to preserve it.” ― John Adams "Fire can be our friend; whether it's toasting marshmallows, or raining down on Charlie." - Principal Skinner. | |||

Haven't owned a motorcycle since the '80s. Was a Norton fan having had 5 including a '72 Dunstall 750 Full Production Export Road Racer (bought new) and a used '73 850 I fitted with a California Sidecar. Guess my age and having read a lot about MCs back in the day helped earn me an 8/10. Certifiable member of the gun toting, septuagenarian, bucket list workin', crazed retiree, bald is beautiful club!

3/10, the only reason I did that "well" was luck, I had knowledge on only one of my correct answers. In my defense, I am definitely not a motorcycle guy. I guess I didn't have to say that | |||
