I was once told that one of the reasons BSA started to manufacture motorcycles, was that if you have the tools/skills to manufacture precision gun barrels, you can make good quality engine barrels too. I was never sure how much truth there was in it.
Then reading the current Enfield thread I remembered that Enfield manufactured both, too, so it looks like there may well be some truth in it.
Are there other examples of manufacturers who made both? Any link between CZ motorcycles and firearms? Or are they both just references to the country of manufacture?
One for the more mature members....
