New Category for British Motorcycles

[edit]

As part of the Motorcycling WikiProject I am working though all the missing articles and stubs for British Bikes. To make things easier to sort out I have created a category for British motorcycles. Please will you add to any British motorcycle pages you find or create. It will also help to keep things organised if you use the Template:Infobox Motorcycle or add it where it is missing. I've linked the Category to the Commons British Motorcycles so you could help with matching pics to articles or adding the missing images to the Commons - take your camera next time you go to a rally! Thanks

In fact, we should actually follow the guidelines in Wikipedia:Categorization. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 01:06, 2 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The Shop Bike

[edit]

Expand with this article The Crucible of Speed Ninety years ago, George Brough created the world's first superbike. You're looking at it. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 01:05, 2 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Are these motorcycles chain-driven, or is it by a sort of ... driveshaft and pinion-gear?

[edit]

The article gives a few particulars about what is plainly the high-end motorcycle of its era, but nothing says how the rear wheel is driven. I cannot *see* a chain, in the photo, but there is a lot going on around the rear wheel, in the photo, and one cannot be sure. I think it would be nice if this technical item were covered. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.176.135.53 (talk) 19:56, 5 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Chain. I added a citation for Hugo Wilson's book. A Google image search will show the left side, though you can also see a gear, which could sort of look like a shaft drive but that is for the speedometer gear. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 22:42, 5 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
