No, it's Google Groups. They strip the space off the end. BTW, I was round at Chris Bushell's yesterday, and mentioned about his little bit in Classic Bike this month, only to be flicking through a copy and to see your 750SS in there as well. You should see the other half of his collection! -- Antony

If you'd have said "gear drive" you would have appeared much, much smarter. ;-) > They also looked at the advantages of desmodromic valve gear > and decided to fit springs. Funny how the Ducati MotoGP bikes rev higher than the Jap bikes and don't suffer from valve bounce, whereas the Yamahas are experimenting with pneumatic valves to keep up! > Ducati - finding expensive, maintenance intensive solutions > to problems that don't exist. I don't see £40 every two years as expensive for replacing belts, and it's hardly difficult to do either, let alone intensive. If you've got the belt gauge it takes 10 minutes to change the belts. Done as part of an all-round service routine you'd hardly notice it. -- Antony |
