Triples

Built in Italy, so the speedo is automaticlly calibrated halfway between
kph and mph....

 

I'd prefer the 'Dodecanese'.

 

heh - it had the Yamaha-branded clocks, and Ducati sourced switchgear.

 

For the same reason we say 'one two five'[1], 'two fifty', 'seven
fifty' - it rolls off the tongue better.

[1] Unless you're called Carlton Kirby, who says 'one twenty five'.

 

Just the opposite ime. Italian & Brit speedos tend to be far less
optimistic than Jap ones.

 

Well he'd hardly still be going now, would he?

 

Yeah, but he's proved himself to be a clueless cock on a multitude of
occasions, so I wouldn't take any notice of anything he says. If he said
that the sky was blue, I'd still look out the window to check for myself.

 

I think you'll find that should be 2.5 x 10^-4 m^3

 

What happened to a five? I'm sure in the long and varied motorbike
history someone was mad enough to make one (and not by just taking a
six and sawing off one cylinder either..)

Damn. Ginged by TOG.

Phil

 

According to Honda, its a V4. Details tomorrow, IINM.

Millyard, obviously. Out of old KH250s.

 

Heh. Shame really as he's pretty good on the Dakar commentary, but I
s'pose it's much easier when it isn't live.

 

Oh. Bor-ring.

 

Hell, yeah!

(OK, so this one is "only" a 5-cyl).

 

Because we're not barmen.

 

Yes, I suppose he doesn't have to count the laps[1] down for the viewers
for one thing.

[1] There's 10 laps to go, 9 next time[2].
[2] Oh fucking really, wow, thanks for doing the maths.

 

I was thinking of alternative scenarios.

Excellent, I'm not sure if you got the email I sent you and Keef
whimping out of attending on health grounds. Demon was playing up at the
time and I somehow seem to have managed to lose the sent message. I got
a MDSN from Keef which suggests he received it though.

Er, yes Pete.

 

Well I was suffering a humour leak, having gone on site for a full day
and then developing a headache, earache and stiff neck again.

Anyway, he might not even have started.
