Hey, can we get to work on making that happen???

I was going to stop at that, but then I read the next paragraph:

There may not be many bad motorcycles *mechanically* today, but there 
certainly HAVE been.  AMF-era HDs, for example, certain Ducati 748s 
with self-destructing camshafts.

No disrespect intended, but I've often thought that this old saw was 
one of the dumbest statements in the history of man.  I think that 
the reverse of this is more apt:  If you can't explain it, YOU don't 
understand.

Sorry, I haven't gotten into one of these recently, so I can't help 
myself.  :-)
