Guess the year
OK given that the org collectively knows EVERYTHING, when was this bike designed?
(I do know the answer but I'm wondering if its more widely known than I thought)

Re: Guess the year
Well that was short lived, well done daveyrach, found that one on Reddit as someone passes it every day but I've since found:
http://www.diseno-art.com/encycloped...otorbikes.html whilst verifying the date cited in the comments. Interesting browse for a lunchtime.

Re: Guess the year
Lol and that was a complete guess!
Knew it had to be years ago as these things normally are. Take the Eurofighter Typhoon, you'd think its a modern plane (in most respects it is) but was first designed/developed in 1983 and first flight was 18 years ago in 1994. Yet it is our current primary air defence fighter. Last edited by daveyrach; 02-08-12 at 11:35 AM. |

Re: Guess the year
16:49 on a Friday afternoon when the designer just wanted to get out the office and down the pub. Thats the only explanation I have for that monstrosity.
