New bent rider online <http://www.bentrideronline.com/> with a review of the Stinger (which pretty much agrees with my views on it, I'm pleased to say). But calling it a BMW? Maybe that explains why I can exceed the speed limit with impunity and park where I like!

Is that why you've gone for the new lighting system, so you can sit on anothers back wheel flashing madly when they impede your progress? 🙂

We don't think so ;-)
-- Guy === I wonder if you wouldn't mind piecing out our imperfections with your thoughts; and while you're about it perhaps you could think when we talk of bicycles, that you see them printing their proud wheels i' the receiving earth; thanks awfully.
Wasn't there a mountain bike marketed under the BMW name (think they had a lot of input on the design side, but it was made under licence)? Mercedes-Benz may also have done something similar, and Ferrari are well known for their collaborations with Colnago.
I've seen an Audi Quattro bike (on a roofrack on display at a local Audi dealer). In spite of the name, it didn't have four wheel drive :-)
More bike/luxury car crossovers - Lamborghini were allegedly sub-contracted to build some of the Speedwell (makers of the first commercial Ti frame) titanium bikes in the early '70s. And Reynolds 531 tubes were apparently used in the engine mountings of the E-Type Jag! Oh, and before I forget, I'm surprised that no-one has mentioned a certain Mr. Boardman and his Lotus yet....

Yeah, and Porsche do a range of over-priced [censored] as well. The great thing about bikes is that it doesn't really make much difference how much you paid, or what name is on it, it's only going to go as fast as you can pedal it. Ah, spring is coming, and the hills will be alive with shining and/or carbon overpriced full-sus mountain bikes - it makes all those cold dark morning starts worthwhile passing this lot out, on a city bike with mudguards and topbox... Whaddya mean they are bikers too? As of this morning, they were still clogging up the roads in their Lard Rovers!

remids me of my last but one tour of Spain -- piled out the bar after lunch on the last day to find a Lamborghini parked outside ........ a great big tractor !
