Motocross???

I thought he was trying to demonstrate his love for Match of the Day! Even then it was a dire effort...


...surprised it hasn't been snapped up my a Manchester United fan to be honest, but whatever you try to make that "say" would need a huge amount of butchering to misrepresent the characters.

Oh, I dunno. V25AXO is perfect for that person who's transplanted a V-twin into their Saxo.

OK, yeah, they're all crap.

By your own definition illegal spacing is crappy. You agree that plate is illegally spaced so how exactly does it not belong in here?

It would work equally well if legally spaced, it's just a matter of millimeters unlike some of the arbitrary spacings in other examples we've seen
