Boring names

CCM....Clews Competition Machines


Us Lancashire types. (When Lancashire was a real county) knew how to give a bike a proper name

BIRMINGHAM Small Arms - and often linked (in my experience) to having deep pockets.

(And therefore should, perhaps, have beeen Lancashire Small Arms?)

Whenever I see the word "boring" I smile as I remember the Yellow Pages entry.........

Well my last post of last night, was obviously shook out of the database bY the earth quake.

I had referenced Brummy Small Arms.

But I also questioned bikes that people were proud to put their name on

Brough Superior, Vincent black shadow. they seem so evocative compared to Suzuki/Yamaha model number. Even H*nda despite having a hairnet in the range can make something sound right with fireblade

I always thought that Hyabusa was good, as it means falcon or somethingor other that eats blackbirds.

Youse are both right.

Never thought the japs had much of a sense of humour, until Suzuki let that one out at the launch. Classic.
