Covid-19 Lock-Down Quiz
We created this quiz when most of us were a bit bored and desperate to get out on our motorcycles.
We thought, if we can’t ride them, lets think about them. So here is a little quiz we’ve put together to give you a motorcycling related activity to do for an hour, perhaps on a Monday evening when you’d normally be at the Club meeting.
Sixty questions related to motorcycling. 1 hour. No cheating (no Google!)!
When you are done, you can find the answers by click here.
There are no prizes but if we think you’ve done it without cheating, you might get a mention at this year’s annual Dinner Dance, where we will be celebrating our 60th year as a motorcycle Club.
