Cars and bikes I’ve come across in my travels

[chrisk]

I was in an FX that rolled going around a bend. My mates father was driving, pissed as a fart. Everyone got out (“before the oil runs out”) pushed it over onto it’s wheels and continued on our way.

Well thats odd, my memory of crash reports back then was people usually got ejected out of the Vehical via the windscreen. .

Only if you hit something head-on. Dad carried scars in his face from flying through the windscreen of his Armstrong-Siddely.

Have we already had this?

 

[Alzero]

Yeah, I posted a pic of one in Buenos Aires, but yours looks even worse!

Ha, the roll was only onto its side, a very slow r/h corner in town.

FX and FJs were renowned for falling over.

It was almost like, it won’t, it won’t… hang on kids.

A very memorable FX rollover.

Is this a Bultaco or Montessa? It’s on a tee shirt I saw today. Obviously not a sporting model with an enclosed chain, but the front forks look interesting.

Montesa Impala

 

[Alzero]

Thanks, I’ll probably go buy on in a few days. There is also one with a Mehari as well.

Would Sir consider a Sanglas ?

Is it in a tall glass, with an umbrella on the rim?

Wow.....I MIGHT be an "influencer" which to my mind is one of the most moronic names
you could apply to the mentally feeble community who worship the internet and it's
bastard offspring,social media. The horror..... I think you can blame Yamaha for letting
the Spanish license their old 400/500 four stroke singles....and then outfitting their
police to ride them. One cool fact is there is a two stroke community in place for a long
time under the acronym SMOG (Spanish motorcycle owners group )....then there was Jim
Pomeroy in 1973 winning a world motocross GP on a Pursang. Carry on Brothers !

If you thought Laverda made heavy clutches, my mate's Montesa was a finger-stretching wrist cracker, it got the first lower extended lever I made.

Hayabusa powered, apparently, and previously promoted by a Motorcycle World Champion, whose who shall remain nameless.
A lovely AC Greyhound and Jaguar Mk I.

It concerns an original Dutch Carver One, today transformed in the Pal-V flying car. Nice Greyhound as well. Thank you Mr Sock

I think it will take a miracle to get that one to stay in the air....

No miracle needed. It is a gyrocopter like in the film mad max, hence the Laverda link to stay on topic
