    As the winner of the last thread, here are my 8 pics taken from common bikes.

    First one to name them all wins, the winner gets the chance to post their own pics of 8 bikes and judge the next winner.

    Rules
    1. You must name a theme for your bikes - e.g. 90's bikes, 2 strokes, etc.
    2. You must post 8 answers (anything less wont be judged)
    3. You can use the same manufacturer for 2 of the 8 bikes
    4. The judge must respond the answer as XX out 8 correct
    5. No track bike glass, ie must be factory bike

    My theme is "blast from the past" - 70's and 80's bikes.

    1. [​IMG] 2. [​IMG] 3. [​IMG]
    4. [​IMG] 5. [​IMG]
    6. [​IMG] 7. [​IMG]
    8. [​IMG]

    Pretty sure these are all as they were in the day, rather than custom restorations.
    Ready, go!

    Murdo has 3 and a half of 8 correct - half a point for guessing 2 models on the Norton.

    All brands were correct - I'm looking for at least series, model type or decade as well as brand.
    If you can get the engine capacity as well you're either way more knowledgeable about bikes than most or cheating somehow!

    I think the Triumph with those pancake filters/twin carbs makes it a Bonneville 650

    The Norton would be a 750, maybe an Atlas.

    Grey is correct. Looking at the bikes he has listed under his name, I'm not surprised!

    Murdo - it's a 750 but not an Atlas.

    You got 5 of 8 completely right, kiffsta.
    You were right on the era and series for 2 of the others though:

    Number 3 is an 80's BMW r Series
    Number 4 is an 80's Honda CB.
