Dear user,

Hope you enjoy these Adventure Motorbike Top Trumps. They took a hell of a long time to make so I hope they get used a lot. You may find some stats you don’t agree with. Please feel free to change them. You make find sloppy typing errors. Sorry about those. You may not agree with some of the bike choices (particularly the TDM (included as I have one) or the Enfield) actually being ‘Adventure’ bikes. Delete as you like. I’ve left the Triumph Tiger Explorer 1200 card blank in anticipation of its release. Please feel free to fill in the information yourselves when available. There’s a blank page of cards on the final slide. Please feel free to include any other bikes you like here. Top Trumps usually only have five or six categories on them. I decided to include seven as, firstly, I’d spent ages finding out all that information so I thought I might as well include it all. And secondly, because although top speeds are interesting, things like tank range and weight are probably more relevant to the adventure biker. Top Trumps usually have a short paragraph about each card’s item under the picture. I really couldn’t be arsed to do this.

My version of Microsoft Office is the 2007 edition (which is shit by the way). If you only have an earlier version then you won’t be able to open the file until you download one of those conversion add-on things. If someone could provide a link to such a site it would be appreciated. I recommend colour printing then laminating the cards to prevent wear and tear. If you haven’t got a laminating machine available at work then I reckon decent stationery shops might be able to do it for you for a small cost.

Hope they can help us learn more about our adventure bike passion as well as reminding us all of the good old days in the school playground. Oh, and trying to slyly switch your top card with a better one is still considered cheating by the way!

enjoy...

Top Trumps

How to Play Top Trumps-Any number of people can play.-Shuffle and deal all the cards face down.

-Each player holds their cards so that they can see the top card only.

-The player on the dealer’s left starts by reading out an item from the top card (e.g. weight 185kg). The other players then read out the same item. The one with the ‘best’ value wins and places all the top cards, including their own, at the bottom of their pile. It is their turn again to choose an item from the next card.

-If two or more cards share the same value then cards are placed on the table, the same player chooses an item from their next card. The winner takes all the cards.

-The person with all the cards at the . end is the winner.
