[edit]

The non-English language Wiki links at the foot of this page have some excellent pictures - could we not use them on this page? There is an excellent one of Lawreence of Arabia on the Ducth page. Rgds, --Trident13 22:25, 4 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Pronunciation

[edit]

The pronunciation of „Brough“ or „..ough“ has different pronunciations within English. I had expected that it would rhyme with „though“. In Great Britain I found to my surprise that at least for the motorcyclist it rhymes with „enough“.

AdrianAbel (talk) 10:09, 14 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A rough-coated, dough-faced, thoughtful, ploughman strode through the streets of Scarborough; he fell into a slough, then coughed and hiccoughed. (I hope that is of help.) Rumiton (talk) 12:20, 7 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Golden Dream

[edit]

A mention of George Brough’s “Golden Dream” is missing. According to reports just 5 examples had ever been built. Except for its weight this motorcycle was an engineering masterpiece. The motor was in complete balance. Reports claim it ran so smoothly as if it were propelled by a dynamo.

AdrianAbel (talk) 10:18, 14 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Added Golden Dream to main Brough Superior wiki page, and made a link to the Brough Superior Golden Dream wiki page. Good catch, Adrian! Maybe you should have added it yourself, but now you can see my horrid writing and maybe fix0r it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.129.93.116 (talk) 20:19, 28 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Cleaning up references?

[edit]

I'm working on putting together some additional information for this article and noticed that there seem to be 2 different styles of references used. Should they all be the same style? Would it be okay to switch them all to reference style instead of endnote style? I find the Reference style generally more user-friendly, since it had the description of the reference itself when you hover over the superscript notation. Thoughts anyone? Runinthegrass (talk) 19:38, 11 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that would be very helpful. The ones tacked on to the end are not correct and should be changed to the one of the styles at WP:CITE. Most of them are links to personal blogs and fansites as well, and don't meet the standards at WP:RS. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 19:58, 11 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, I'll change them when I get the rest of the expansion together. Should I delete the resources that don't meet the standards, or leave them unless/until I can find more reliable sources? Is it better to have any source, or no source (since they're already in place)? Runinthegrass (talk) 20:28, 11 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I'd remove the bad refs, and only keep the facts they reference if they look uncontroversial. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 21:05, 11 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Image Registration plate & list of T.E.Lawreneces bikes

[edit]

The list of bikes says Lawrence of Arabia died on bike Gearge VII "GW 2275", image says it shows his eighth bike (at the Imperial War Museum) which was never delivered - George VIII presumably? However, according to the list, George VIII was Lawrence's 9th Brough, not his 8th (the first was Boa, the second George I). Also, the bike in the Imperial war museum clearly has the registration plate of "GW 2275" - the bike Lawrence died on, George VII - is this just a homage or is the bike at the Imperial War museum George VII rather than George VIII.

Also, if Brough's are so good, why did he replace them so often? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 135.196.5.155 (talk) 07:44, 31 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
