    Van Husky riddle

    Ok, I'll bite, where is :

    5,306 miles from where the greatest things with 4 wheels are born
    5,328 miles from where the greatest things with 2 wheels are born
    5,301 miles from where the greatest things with 2 wheels and a band are born
    Seems to be more than a coincidence to me...

    ?

    I'm going to have to guess:

    Limidi, Maranello, Bologna in Italy.

    The answer to the riddle is likely either where Van lives or where his workshop is... Is your question "where are each of these places?"

    Yes, that too. But according to his profile he lives : "LA & SC neither one is Cali"

    Bingo! He's a part timer in each state. Actually, I'm pretty sure it's Louisana but it could be Lower Alabama.

    The last one is the birth place of a bandsaw, the second is a motor cycle, the first is gotta be detroit.

    How could he be 5,000 miles from Detroit and still be in the continental USA?

    Limidi is home to the Centauro factory.
    Maranello is home to Ferrari
    Bologna is home to Ducati

    They are all near Bologna.

    Those were my thoughts, anyhow. I would have to disagree with Ducati, though. He need to go about 700 miles north to find something worth getting excited about IMHO

    Now the big question, and this I don't know, is how far Bologna is from Steve Schlumpf.
