Motorcycles Trivia Questions
1. BSA were, at one time, the largest and most successful British motorbike manufacturer. What does BSA stand for?

From Quiz Unmatched and Triumphant

Answer: Birmingham Small Arms Company

Based at Small Heath in Birmingham the company made military and sporting weapons as well as motorbikes, vans and cars. It was founded in 1861 specifically to produce firearms, but by the 1880s had branched out into cycles, and started producing motorbikes in the early 1900s. Over the years it produced some legendary motorbikes, including the Bantam, the Gold Star and the Rocket. The motorbike side of the business was so successful, that after WWII the factory at Small Heath was turned over entirely to their manufacture. Unfortunately poor investment in development and design led to them falling victim to the Japanese motorbike invasion.

From Quiz Sportsbikes III: Track days

Answer: A motorcyclist being thrown off the bike into the air

A highsider is a motorcyclist being thrown of the bike into the air. Highsiders occur when the motorcyclist pulls down the throttle too much after losing traction in a corner while accelerating. The rear wheel will regain traction. But because of the lateral movement the bike is making right now, the tire will regain grip too fast resulting in the motorcyclist being thrown of. Hitting the throttle too fast results in highsiders, but is also deliberately used to drift the back wheel (back wheel steering).
