We have a winner!!

No doubt it is well put together. Still a pile of unridable garbage. Buy the real thing. You could buy two or three Rapides for the price of this monstrosity. In terms of new bikes, a Vespa scooter would blow the doors off this wonder machine. I notice it has been written up in Esquire, Playboy and Nylon Magazines. Good publicity and no product are the modern way.

Oh good news, he terrorizes other classic bike models. This is not art or function, but polished junk. It's even a stupid name for a motorcycle, Falcon. A small bird that flies around eating pigeons. Give me a break. Dan

His web site has him destroying a JAP engine for his next project and I believe a Ridge was given the "treatment". A regular motorcycle killing field. Oh well, Merry Christmas to all and Safe travels for the Holidays, Dan

I spotted that too, but I think he means Rudge not Ridge...

The Ridges were nice bikes. They used engines from J.A.Prestwik.

Indeed it was Rudge. I hit the i instead of the u on the keyboard. This affirms I am not the perfect person I say I am, my wife was right...again Dan

Is this a Ridge ..................

 

[timetraveller]

Now that is what I call a fuel tank but I wonder where one fills it up?

 

[Howard]

I think that's the later Japanese version. Not as popular as the original Ridges, they're going for a thong on Ebay.

My bad, I typed the i instead of the u on the keyboard. I was actually thinking of another brand of slow, unreliable british iron the Rudge. My thanks to Japan for building fast, reliable machines whose names I can spell. Dan
