Yeah?? Never knew that, and No.

But......you have hit on a theme......you are doing well.....in fact I've just noticed that this person did have an Indian at one time....

Sanx - I'll come back to my original guess that I deleted because it was too ridiculous: Luke Skywalker.

Hmm....imaginative but No.

Mikkel - you are on the right track, there are parallels.

This person's invention surpassed Ducati.

Born in 1932 and one of seven brothers and sisters, this man later became heavily addicted to amphetamines and barbituates.

[Madness]

That's right, the boy named Sue.

Vincent Van Gough

[martybabe]

Sheesh.

All yours dude.

[Winston001]

Cheers, just lucky.

This person is not particularly well known but his invention, which bears his name, is. Millions of examples exist around the world. He began his working life as a railway apprentice.

LOL Thats such a good guess I'd almost change my answer.

Unfortunately No.

Although the invention carries this person's name, it is usually referred to by a contraction of the name. He lives on a pension today and was not paid for the invention.

Still alive eh? Mr Hoover?
