In UK there is a long tradition in the mag's of not rubbishing the shoddy products we used to make.....Readers were expected to read between the lines...e.g. of that notorious shaker the Norton Atlas we could read about what a fine motorcycle they'd produced though " some vibration was apparent.'



Yeah?! Well THAT of course can all be chalked up to "typical British understatement", Alan ol' boy.

(...along with that superfluous-'u' you guys over there, and for no good or logical reason I might add, still continue to include within the spelling of certain words in this language we share)


Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
