Well Gio - for a bit of feedback.......
I had a go. Got No1 easily enough and moved onto No2 - the blue thing. I must have spent an hour trying to find a bike remotely similar to it on various old heap/vintage websites and in the end got fed up and quit.
So I suppose it was good entertainment for a while and I now know far more than I ever wanted to know about Broughs and AJSs etc
I'll mark my own entry...... 1/10

Right well ignoring Fausto's one, I've had a grand total of 2 people who have pm'd me with their replies.
1st up was D-Rider and then Kwackerz.
Both have done well.
However I know Sam was trying and I believe a few more were so I'm going to leave it until I get home later this evening, before revealing who has done what.
I'd like to say that if any of you have got even a few right (or think you have) please enter you might be surprised at how well you did.

Here is the list of questions and answers.
1).What does the term desmodromic mean when related to Ducati motorbikes and why did they use this system.
1) Answer. The word "desmodromic" is derived from two Greek words, desmos (controlled/linked) and dromos (course/track).
It refers to the exclusive valve control system used in Ducati engines: both valve movements (opening and closing) are "operated".
