mechanic might have missed/done something. [clacking noise? have you been
thinking about that for the last 2 weeks, like i have? hmmmmm.....]
and pistons in a bandit? what's up w/that? supposidly, those bad boyz
are bullitt proof! tell all! [did ya get a ticket???] :>)

Actually I said "likely." I really love working on Guzzi motors (after
changing pistons in a Bandit 1200, it's a joy) but sometimes you do find
this stuff, and when you do it's time to spend a little money. You have
to be prepared. I would hope Andy will give us a play-by-play of the
rebuild (executive summary version).
