After seeing the thread, This day in History I thought I would take a look to see if there was anything to do with bikes to add to the thread being as this is a biker site.
I found some really interesting info but it would take up too much space to put it all on here so thought I would add the link here.

Thanks for posting that link, CG!!
I keep revisiting it and finding new things.... stuff like the Alligator A6!
Might have to order a couple of books as a result of it too....
Di - I suspect it wouldn't ride too dissimilar to MY bike....
ROFL at the above question!!!!
Di - I thought I recognised your picture...
(I still have fond memories of Paris in Spring....)
There are some parts on that bike that would be considered an upgrade if they were fitted to mine!!
YAY - about bleedin' time!!!
Di - When you get to the Highlands, look for the red flashing light.....
There is something better, TM - a fawn menage a trois! But for some it is two deer.... *badoom tish*
