   >Neat! Although, shouldn't a Small Arms company make, I dunno, guns?

They do (they're the prime contractor for the WDF's license-built version of the ExoSalusia BR55-HBSR battle rifle, for instance); it's just that they make other industrial stuff too, including a well-regarded line of street motorcycles.

>A-ha! Googling found me the Triumph Hurricane (which I had never heard
>of, not really being a British bike fan)

ASA is a nod to another British bike company from days gone by, Birmingham Small Arms, which started out as a firearms firm and eventually evolved into one of those huge companies that makes pretty much anything metal before fizzling out altogether during the great British industrial collapse of the 1970s and '80s. My father used to have (many years ago, long before I was born) a BSA Spitfire, the bike that inspired the ASA Hurricane (note the similarity of the badges).
