i have to laugh havoc... did you even watch the video?   :D

Yes I did.... I even posted a link to youtube.

I happened to come across a picture of that bike with a sidecar on it. Thought "Hey, maybe that's it? Only modified?".

Not until I saw better pictures of it (just now) was I even able to tell that it was thinner that I previously thought.

Sorry for trying to help you.

It is my understanding, that certain segments of British society substitutes rhyming as a way to obfuscate speech, as a sort of game.
"Taking a piss" became "Taking a Micky Bliss" -Michael being the more formal patois, if you will.  Taking a Micky (or Michael) got shortened over time to "taking a michael".  In other words, an elbow in the ribs, a razzing, kidding, giving you a good-natured hard time.

Well Heff if you weren't such a turd.....

I might have lighter responses for you.

To be honest I haven't seen the movie. Slightly above my paygrade.

Kinda like your quick jabs to my already mutilated pride.  :'( :-\ :( ;) :) :D ;D

Sorry.... Couldn't keep a straight face.  :P

that's gotta be it... but what's the different (belt/chain drive for starter-cover?) on the left side of the engine... goes up at an angle on the picture you posted... seems to be missing in the movie bike

Jockey shift linkage is wrong too. But that's damn close.

Well, there's a little trick they do for movies- they put various tanks and farkles on small Hondas to make them look the part from a distance.  Hard to imagine they'd thrash a 1914 ANYthing just to make a movie.
