The quiz is back! I know, I know, you all missed the quizmaster!
Now, those that have seen the answers already in Italy are not allowed, you know who you are!;)
1 point for correct answer, 2 points for interesting stuff (inherent to the questions..)
Who was the last Englishman to win a 500 GP Championship?
What does SPO stands for in an 888?
What was the engine size of the legendary Paul Smart at Imola ’72?
Which unique engine displacement has a 916 SPS?
How many Ducati have been named after locations?
No prize this time around as I still pi**ed off about the F1, MotoGP and SBK..

Ooo oooo I know this.
Damn I was in Italy so can't answer, if I'd known that the trip would preclude me from entering I wouldn't have gone, yeah right.
Cheers

1. Bazzer, ..bless him.
2. Dunno.
3. Oooh yes. The bloke I bought my Laverda from had flogged that to buy a replica. Had it up on a lift in his workshop when I went round to try and sort the jetting for the road. He had an ally block about a foot long, with pairs of every possible main jet for the Amal ..concentrics (?) ,which the Laverda had. And a bridgeport !! I was seriously, ..and justifiably impressed. The Laverda was still a pig afterwards if you weren't in the mood though. One reason why I don't intend to chase performance on my monster.
Anyway, ...I can't remember. Go on then....860. I feel it may have been 110 less though.
4. Dunno.
5. Dunno.
Its not the winning, ...its the taking part.

Sorry guys, I've made a typo error on the question about the SPS.
The answers still standing, however I've got an extra double question for you!
What does it means and what displacement has a 916 SPA?
David Matthews

Does a 916 SPA have a displacement of 944?

Does a 916 SPA have a displacement of 944?
Don't know;)What I know is that a 944 displacement kit was available for 2Vs
916 SPA - was a USA homologation special and was 955cc
SPA = Società per Azioni

SPA = Società per Azioni
not quite what I meant, but I will award an extra 1/2 point! ;)
In that case you must have been looking for Sport Production America:D

Who was the last Englishman to win a 500 GP Championship?
Barry Sheene in 1977, following his win the previous year, joined a jolly good company along Read,Hailwood,Surtes and Duke
What does SPO stands for in an 888?
Sport production Omologato, basically just lights on a race bike
What was the engine size of the legendary Paul Smart at Imola ’72?
Commonly know as a 750, Giler gave the most exhaustive answer ever..
Which unique engine displacement has a 916 SPS?
1st series was a 916, second series was 996
How many Ducati have been named after locations?
Well, lots..Imola,Indiana,Santamonica, Montjiuich,Laguna Seca,Monza and the prototype Utah
So, with incredible ruthlessness Kato wins, with 12 right answers, followed by Giler with 9 points (2 extra points awarded for the Imola question, you deserve that!
Kato also got the 916 SPA question right.
The Sport production America was a limited run of 50 955-engined 916 to satisfy minimum number rules in the states. Most of them were imported in the USA and then re-shipped abroad. Few, if any, were actually raced..
Well done and thanks to those who partecipated1
