    but what about the leathers?

    [Kenyon's Mille]
    I think he's realised that some manner of puce-coloured 125cc scooter
    fits better with his kir-drinking fettucine-eating NoHo "lifestyle".

    Not necessarily.

    Well, not on this Honda fucking PF50 I've 'acquired'. It didn't have one
    when it left the factory. It's got pedals mind.

    Or, for that matter, on my Bantam trials bike. That didn't have pedals.

    Dear god.

    "Oil pressure plays a very important part in the running of the engines
    on these trains and this pressure is determined by atmospheric pressure,"

    They're fucking electrics, they don't have "engines".

    They're built by Bombardier, which in itself is a good enough excuse.

    I went to Derby to see them built as part of staff side acceptance (great
    they're ordered, being built /then/ it occurs to management that the
    Drivers may have some valid comments...)

    Anyway its some years since I'd been at the business end of a locomotive
    works and expected some heroic spark filled foundry arrangement with doe
    eyed soviet maidens on hand, or at least a bit like Flashdance.

    You'll be surprised as I was to find out its nothing like that at all.
    They're made in Sweden and sent flat packed to the UK and glued together
    by minimum wage Derby mongs.

    Glued together! Like airfix kits.

    what beautiful imagery.
    ****'s sake.
    weren't some of the latter-day MuZ frames glued together?

    Don't know and, to be perfectly frank, don't care.

    ooooooOOHH!

    I'd have thought something agricultural like a MuZ Black Panther1[1]
    would be right up your street...

    I'd like one myself.

    [1] mmmmm black http://alleuropeanmotorsports.com/muz/panther.htm

    The mid late 90s MuZs are not the same, they don't "do it" for me in the
    same way as the 2 stroke MZs (dear Christ alive).

    They don't have the whole "fucking hell we can print in three colours and
    we're not afraid to either. Comrade." design ethic about them.

    This however is a different proposition entirely hence "Oooh, Yes Please".

    Neither appeals, to be honest.

    How about "as in sums"?

    Bombardier have a *terrible* reputation locally, the skilled engineers
    go and work for Rolls Royce. I'm sure back in the days of the BR
    Technical Centre (where my dad used to work) there were people that knew
    what the were doing... but that's been a business park since not long
    after the railways were privatised.
    ....at the hands of schoolchildren!
