That elicits the the classic response, "How did they do that?".
Wonderful. Thanks Jean.

Nice.
You probably want to go into town, and find a up to date Jap Bike store,
With a full spares department, a clean workshop, and kean young mechanics.
And ask them if theres a Grumpy Old Bloke out in the Hills, who knows how to fix Real Motorcycles.

I don't know how, but here's why: http://www.motorcyclenews.com/MCN/News/ ... ansformer/
caravan
There are certain references to a "caravan" in the video, which to us, in the UK, is what would normally be refered to as a "trailer" in the US I believe, I think the US term "caravan" has a different meaning?

I was wondering what that meant. Thanks for the translation!
Over here in the colonies, a caravan would be a group of cars, trucks, etc. travelling together.

here in the US, we would refer to a caravan as a travel trailer or camper, to distinguish it from a commercial trailer (the back end of a semi or tractor-trailer, what Brits call an articulated lorry)
semi-trailer or articulated lorry
travel trailer or caravan

Interesting. I've never heard of a travel trailer referred to as a caravan before. Learn something every day!
The Norton Transformer in the video sounded a little grumpy. In fact I think he sounded kind of like a cranky old Brit! (Are you out there, MikeB?)

I usually think of a caravan as one of those small trailers pulled by a four cylinder Morris or something. I suppose they have gotten larger these days.
That was a beautiful job the most unbelievable part was how easy it started.
