    Sarge was exercising his cultural sensitivity when you bought it, Lou. He knew you were Italian , see, so he had them install the optional Italian engineering module.

    You will find that you can recover your missing 30 hp if you ride with the left pillion footrest down, and the right front (only) indicator flashing, in a northerly or westerly direction. But only before noon.

    During the period of the full moon, if you do the above, and in addition are running on reserve and put the rear brake on just enough to trigger the brake light , but without actually having the pads touch the calipers, you will recover not just the missing 30hp, but an extra 30 hp as well. But only if you are wearing a red helmet.

    Italian machinery. Its like that. He thought it would make you feel culturally safe.

    An interesting theory, as all yours invariably are. However, my Dear Ixion, I bought it from Mark.

    Don't know about Lou, but I'm built rather like TonyB and Indy. Tall and slim.
    90% of the time spent writing this post was spent thinking of something witty to say. It may have been wasted.

    I have visited Lou a couple times but he's something of an invisible man.

    He tends to have a rather attractive colleague, and he works adjacent to a big screen TV, which along with a whole shop full of interesting stuff, means customers frequently complain of neck strain but nobody can recall what Lou actually looks like...

    I spotted some locals doing just that to tourists outside Notre Dame cathedral many years ago. Not very subtle but must have had a soft touch.
