OK, I'm sorry for that last posting in (bad) French, but as an
ex-Canadian I couldn't resist taking a jab at the Province of Quebec
while I'm out of harm's way (in Texas). I used to live in Ontario and
worked a little in Quebec, where it is illegal to transact business in
English (in spite of the fact that Canada is officially a bilingual
country), and it is illegal to display any sign in English. I could go
on, but I won't; I will just translate what I wrote:
'My dear Ian,
Why don't you like the Quebecois, and why do you write to this list
in English? You think that you eat sh*t because you live in the
beautiful province? Is it that you don't want to pay lots of tax and
speak only in French? <3 french expletives> I think you are an English
Pig!'
Sorry again if I offended anyone.

I do speak French, and this is more of a tongue in cheek barb on living in Quebec, where they force you to speak French and tax the hell out of you. Some smileys would have helped. But. Speaking of Moto Guzzis, any big secrets on getting the exhaust header nut to stay on??? Also I want the special wrench to torque it down. I bought a fire fighters hydrant wrench and was less than satisfied with it. I probabaly should replace the nuts as well. y Eric Lamberts ew-@unr.edu Reno, Nevada USA.
