XTreme Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Here's a trivia question to see who knows their shit......and who's a Casual! A British racer rode a motorcycle for one of the actors in one of the biggest movies of the 1960's! Can you tell me the rider, the film, the bike......and post up the actual clip! And extra points if you can tell me why HE was specifically chosen to do the riding! Essentially......what was different about him compared to other racers that got him chosen? If you avoid the thread......you're a Casual! If you get it wrong.....you're a Casual! And if you get it right, the likelihood is you fucking cheated! So you're still a Casual! So come on then......give me the answer! And prove to everybody else that you're not the twat that everybody thinks you are! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckster Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Pretty sure I know this one, it was before they decided that stunt doubles had to be the same sex as the actual actor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckster Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 The guy was dead the next year, before my time of course, came up in a trivia quiz once. I got it wrong back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he got the Thunderball gig because he was only 5'3" so he could double for a woman due to his stature! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckster Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 He was the double in Girl on a motorcycle as well. More your kind of movie. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XTreme Posted May 7, 2020 Author Share Posted May 7, 2020 It's confirmed! @Buckster is not a Casual! But there's still time for others to distance themselves from this demographic........because until proven otherwise......you're a Casual. So the more times you try......the greater the odds of removing this stigma! Keep going @BusBoy Here's another question......Which bike had the most BHP per CC in 1973? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckster Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 I’m going to say the KH750 triple, it was the era of two strokes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckster Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 The GT250 was the same power as the RD. The bigger GT’s didn’t deliver on power. The Kawasaki S1 had a touch more power but was shite. Other than them I cannot think what else it could be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
