Once upon a time,
Not that long ago, a good friend of mine, a BMW M/C rider, asked me if I could help him with a meet and greet bike rally he was setting up for some of his club member pals. I was a life long bike rider so I thought I'd try to help him out.
He asked if I could come up with some sort of questionnaire to entertain the bikers while they arrived and registered. Then later I think he'd use their answers for door prizes or that sort of thing. "I'll give it a shot" I said, not enthusiastically.
So I managed to put together some questions and as I got going it got a bit easier
and was kind of fun. FUN I thought, would be, well "Fun"
I can only remember some of the quiz questions, here's a few.
"What flat tracker generally ran number "9" on his bike?"
"What was the nickname of ex champ Dick Mann?"
The prime Minister of Canada is: Harper Stevensen? Steven Harper? or Don Cherry?
BMW Mc's were founded in what year? 1923 or 1932 0r 1837?
The BMW roundel is a spinning --------------?
BMW stands for Bob Marley and the Wailers true or false?
you get the picture
My friend didn't seem to be too impressed as he read through these questions, I think he wanted something more "spot on technical" and humourless. My wife was enjoying it and that's all the encouragement I needed.
But my next multiple choice put him over the top, storming out and not using my quiz at all.
This was the fatal question: What name is used to describe the BMW motorcycle
is it A: Bimmer B: Beemer or C: Bummer ??
Just goes to show ya, some people have no SOH
Thanks for lookin'
