Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

Pete, its intentional.

Nooj, you can PM them or post, if you post I'd do it next Friday as I'll be putting the answers up after 6pm

BTW there is only 1 winner, the 1st to answer all the questions correctly, or the one with the most correct answers in their post, any 2nd guessers will be ignored.

If I remember correctly it was the scooter, he could have still got 10 points tho if he'd had a stab at getting the year of the Aprilia right rather than putting 2 years in

10) Aprilia SM750 Dorsoduro (Not the Factory, don’t think it’s the ABS but pic not clear enough to be sure). Launched 2008, don’t think there were any changes for 2009 but have seen some 2010 pics with a slightly different screen … so I think it’s probably 2008 or 2009.

Good quiz though Peter - that scooter took me quite a while to track down
