A couple of weeks ago I flew to Majorca on business for the day (lucky me!). There is a shop of motorcycle memorabilia at the departures lounge of Palma airport and among the numerous supply of Ducatisti and Valentino Rossi fans items, I found a large (30 cm diametre) Puch workshop badge. There is a story to that. Avello SA was a Spanish company which made Puch mopeds and motocross bikes under license in Spain in the seventies and the said badge was on sale together with the better known Bultaco, Montesa and Ossa badges. It wasn't cheap (€ 32 I think) but it looks gorgeous hanging in my garage now....

Tom - I'm a little confused about your new signature. Just how many Virgin Marys can one find?

And here I thought you were acting the dirty old priest trying to deflower young Mary in the search for salvation....
