Oh
yee gods indeed. So we arrive at the factory, awaiting
our turn at an English speaking guide to route us
through the blurring lines of computer controlled
machinery and hand assemblage that occurs for the
engines, and lo and behold, parked outside the waiting
line is one of three Fogerty Replica 916sps bikes
owned by a lucky few who just so traveled here for
the festival (there were 200 of these scoots made
in total for world wide distribution). This one was
owned by a rather boorish loud mouthed Englishman,
who had traveled across the Chunnel and streaked across
countless countrysides to stand outside the waiting
area and loudly proclaim cheekishly that the occasional
issues with Duc's was due to the line of almost completely
female engine assemblers. Funny thing was that there
was an Aussie couple on our tour who had two (!) of
these bikes and the lass was well equipped to talk
shop with the offending Englishman, given that she
rebuilds her own bikes! Snort implied! Though the
Pilota was a bit of an arse, his bike was quite spectacular!!!!
