well done I do so agree I have an old Italian transplant of sortys a Harley Davidson sprint built bye Areomachi or something but with reverse controls and a right side kicker shes a heartbreaker if you daydream but fun to ride (when shes together)

Yeah, funny thing is your Harely was made for Harley by a company that used to make aircraft.
So was mine. (Caproni Bomber Company) After they went out of the bike business, they went back to making planes again (Aeromere Falcone).
The company that used to make my bike also made a lot of parts for Ducati (frames, fenders, exhausts, and other small parts)...just to get back on topic.
The spark plug that came with my bike bears the name Magnetti Marelli-Ducati's fuel injection maker among other things.
