The mighty LJ50, wish I had one, could climb trees and never get stuck in sand.
I had a girlfriend around 81 that drove one and it was a beauty, so was she by the way.

I had one (of each), around the same time.

The LJ50 could climb near vertical walls. When it couldn't climb any further, it would just stay there bouncing up and down on the rear wheels until You gave up and throttled off.

MOTO GUZZI  started out making V-Twin tractors. (Unkind people might claim they still do! ;))   



Even PORSCHE had a shot at tractors.

Ever wonder what the BMW symbol meant?

It's a rotating propeller.

OSSA started making movie projectors in 1924.
The name comes from Orpheo Sincronic Sociedad Anónima (O.S.S.A.)



OOPS     Firko did this already.     Sorry   DJ
