Dragon Picture Quiz

[timbo]

So for a bit of fun, what are these pictures of?

Guessing .......

#1 Some kind of LEANING sidecar?

#2 Toyota Hilux with a Moggy cab ?

[timbo]

And these two

#3 maybe a rare Humber or Douglas motorcycle (I think I can see some writing on tank?)

#4  could be some sort of Dnepr/Cossack/Neval

1/  Driven sidecar wheel?

2/ Landrover chassis with Moggy body?

3/ Not sure

4/ Hand lever for putting the bike on the main stand _ Vincent did something similar with the Black Prince.

I don't want to spoil the fun, so I'll leave it up for a week. Answers, if I have them, next Saturday 

[Richard]

First ones up look like the Saluki sidecar, and then the Morris Minor on a Series Landrover chassis, and very well done it was too.

My guesses,

A leaning sidecar but home engineered
Special edition moggy possibly for Australian market
Blackburne engined Coventry Eagle
Levitation device for Starship Enterprise.

I loved where they had parked the moggy by the way.

And I'm fairly sure that the flat twin is a Beemer rather than a Ural - look at that drive shaft, Ural use old pencils instead.

[Propellor]

Good post.

I'm going with manxie/smithy on #1 and Steve on #2 adding that it is ratchet operated.

#3 I'm looking for some kind of weird (no offence), home engineered device but I can't see anything, unless the whole thing is home engineered.

I've never heard of a saluki, which I'm assuming is a hybrid of suzuki?

And I'm fairly sure that the flat twin is a Beemer rather than a Ural - look at that drive shaft, Ural use old pencils instead.

It's definately a Beemer - possibly R50/R60/R69 - it has an enclosed shaft drive - Russian flat twins have exposed shaft drive and rubber doughnut shock absorbers.

Not sure if it's rachet operated or if the big socket was just a good way to connect the lever to the big nut that hoists it up. Proper shed engineering!

1. Leaning sidecar link?
2. Moggy body on Suzuki?
3. New Imperial?
4. BMW engined Cossack with a fabricated lever for mainstand operation?

[timbo]

Well fire lit, and just in from a bit more autojumbling, so here's the answers, as I'm sure you've all been having sleepless nights all week 
But first, here's a message for Mark, "cheaters never win!" I'd already told you the answers, and then you come on here and post your answers   
Pic 1 is indeed a chain linkage for a tilting sidecar, that ensures the sidecar tilts to the same extent as the bike, in this case a PanEuropean.
Pic 2 is a moggy body fitted to a Suzuki SJ jeep chassis, engine, and running gear. Used by the Conway Club on the Dragon site.
Pic 4 is a hand operated centre stand. A socket has been welded onto the centre stand nut and a ratchet connected to a long lever, though I'm sure the ratchet is fixed rather than acting as a ratchet. The bike is an old beamer, not sure the model.
Pic 3 is a 250 New Imperial, a Model 30 I think.

Looks like Mark won. So cheating does pay after all. 

Right I'm orf to bed now. Waited up all night for these answers. 

Good post timbo.

[manxie]

Yeah, it was a good post Timbo. Maybe some more? Bit of a disadvantage if you didn`t attend the Dragon though  I can`t cheat
