It ahs take me a wook to fund ouit I hafe bean spilling the nime ov the nuw Kalkhoff incorectlie

Why didn’t some one tell me

Or are you all so polite, Or are u bislexik luke whut I ham

I’m not the only one though am I Fleccie, unbelievable Flecc is human!

Jonh

P.S. For everyone except Flecc who would know this fact already, Agattu is an unihabited island in the Aleutian chain. Unihabited by man that is, but heavily populated by sea birds and covered in guano. Just hope the bikes don't get covered in it!

No, you're not the only one, but I don't see anything wrong in me calling it the Kalkhoff Gateau since it's so tasty.

I think Kalkhoff Guano is going a bit far though.

Agattu, Agatthree, Agattfour, what does it matter.

And I thought it was named after an actress from the Railway Children

. Also considered tasty by many

Oh god Ian, I wish you hadn't said that, It's got me thinking about American Werewolf now, not Railway Children. I won't be able to sleep now, but not because I'm scared

Think I will go and take a shower

Hi John,

That really does sound like a condition derived from elextric biks.

I hope so, for if not I've stumbled into the wrong forum again.

I was wondering what 'Agattu' meant, though if that is the origin of the name, thats a bit disappointing and unsatisfactory, so I say call it whatever you like - can't be much worse than a guano-covered island...

Gateau sounds nice too!

I think the printed magazine goes out today. I keep checking for the online version at exacteditions.co.uk but no sign yet.

One bit of news - - we 're going to offer a free A to B subscription with every Kalkhoff bike. You heard it here first!
