Well it's a bit more convincing than that poncey harley chop doing the rounds last year or year before, basically a bendy-bike painted ferrarri red with an 'oss on the tank...

Oh my god he's used a 308 motor :eek:
The central pully that drives the two cam belts is held in place by a woodruff key, not a nice big feckoff splined shaft Oh No... a fecking poncy woodruff key for crying out load.
Bearing in mind that when it lets go (and they do) it puts all the valves into the pistons :eek:
Them Italians eh... they've got a sense of humour all to themselves.
