Or more useless bullshit to polute your mind!

Did you know that DKW (once the worlds largest motorcycle manufacturer, producing over 100,000 units annually) merged with Horsh, Audi & Wanderer in 1932, to form the "Auto Union". This is where the 4 circle logo still seen on Audi's comes from!

Come on, I bet most here would be holding on to some useless trivia they can share! :cheers:
 
- a bike is stolen every 18 minutes, 75% are stolen from their owner's house.

- the Honda C90 is the best selling motorbikes at around 35 million (as at November 2002), end-to-end they would stretch 4 1/2 times around the world or half way to the moon, since 1966, on average, a C90 is made every 30 seconds. UK sales ceased in 2003 after 36 years of production but the bike is still being made in Indonesia and Thailand

- riders choose to ride for a wide range range of reasons, including cost effective transport, traffic congestion, environmental reasons, fashion, ease of parking, convenience, to name a few.

- motorbikes and mopeds travelled 5.1 billion kilometres in 2002 (figures privided by DfT).

- commuting accounts for two thirds of all motorbike journeys (figures privided by DfT).

- travelling by motorbike can reduce journey times by up to two thirds.

- up to eight motorbikes can fit in the same parking space occupied by one car.

- car drivers with a full licence obtained prior to February 2001 are automatically qualified to ride a 50cc bike on the road...in europe this still applies, however those who got their car license in germany before 2001 can also drive a 7.5 ton truck

- research indicates that other road users are primarily at fault for around 60% of all bike crashes

- of rider deaths, most are men, the vast majority between 26 and 54 years old, almost all accidents occur on dry roads...in a third of all cases no other vehicles were involved and two thirds occured in broad daylight.
