Never known a Cyril myself, so as an associate of multiple Cyril's I bow to your numerically superior knowledge ;)

Maybe a poll would be advisable re: the suitability of the name :laugh:

Bugger! I didn't realise the front guard stays were the straight through type.
It wasn't a bike I was very familiar with.
One chocolate fish for you!

[JayRacer37]

"Measure twice and cut once"

and

"It is better to remain silent and be presumed an idiot, than open your mouth and remove all doubt"

:doh:
