I had the pleasure of visiting the Moto Guzzi museum in Mandello last month and seeing the 500cc V8 GP engine and bike in the flesh. What a gem of an engine! So small and compact. It is smaller than most 250cc. two stroke engines. I can only raise my hat to anyone who could build a scale version in their home workshop!

On a lighter note, as a Guzzi owner I was keen to find out how the Italians pronounced "Moto Guzzi" as you hear so many versions of it over here. They say Moto Gootzee, with the "t" being soft, ……and I suppose they should know!

My humble contribution to the universal store of knowledge for the day.

That's what you get for buying cheap imported Chinese goods

Cheap?!

Oh how I wish that was the case Neil.

That sentence is misleading, replace 'never' with 'not', as I meant it's not putting the smilies where I want them to be.

As an aside, GD has just received a £45 tablet from her Dad, but he complained about the weenie sounding speaker.

She used my iPhone yesterday and Dad compared the sound between the two devises, with me telling him that my phone cost many many multiples of what he paid. That shut him up
