Problem could be a couple of things. Was the pizza a Margherita or Quattro Staggione? Did you have or hold the Anchovies?

It may be that the pizza made the bike "adjust" it's power to those of normal pizza power delivery vehicles!

I agree...but 'deep pan' pizzas are also quite slow compared to say... a large 'goodfellows', I think it's due to aerodynamics.

..hi gtar, I know u were looking for an AT so you finally got one? Where did u get it? Some more info on it?

Whereabouts on this grenn island are you?

hi, ya finaly. not too many to choose from in this country. got it private in dublin. 02, 27000 miles, good condition, only trouble it was sitting in a shed for a year or so not used much. i got it for 2800 euros, along with spares and top box. ive done 250 miles on it so far and no problems so fingers crossed.
actualy mabey you could shed some light on this. the frame number says RD07A and the engine says RD04E. should they match ? i hope not .
