[KeefyB]

I called in at Italia today to check on the progress of the Multistuka.Its been in there a while having some recall/warranty work done.One of the jobs being the crankcase paint,or rather the lack of it!The paint had chipped away at the front of the motor and corroded the alloy.
With the engine out of the bike,I could see the full extent of the corrosion.
OMG!
There is no way that is gonna get repaired,...new crankcases it is then!..Oh, and new cylinder head!
Thank Gawd for warranties,..gonna be off the road for a while yet tho.
