Going through some pics in my old computer. Thought this was cool.
I don't know most of them though. Havent had the chance to look them up.

Oh my, now there's a challenge. I think I see Bridgestone, BSA, Delorean?, Hodaka, AJ, Kawasaki, Matchless, Norton, Triumph, Suzuki, Velocette, and something that looks like the branding iron of the Rocking-bar-W ranch...

Edit: Just saw the cheat-sheet answers at the bottom. Failed that test...

How do you read the cheat sheet answers? The print is so small, I can't seem to zoom in.

 

[TwoManyXS1Bs]

Well, I'm using a tablet that allows me to 'pinch zoom'. If you're on a PC, you could right-click and save the image, then analyze it later.

The lettering is quite large for me, the 'pinching' is difficult however, with my furry claws.

Ahh, you cat scanned it. I will see what my PC can do.

The last one, the branding iron i presume..., is, of course, Zündapp! I had one when I was 16, a 1974 CS 50. It was my first motorized vehice in 1989, a 50cc 2-stroke! Like this one....
