    The owner's manual for the Cagiva has some funny touches because it covers
    all of the english-speaking world and uses imperial measurements so that the
    Merkins can understand.

    To check headlight adjustment, you position the bike "393.7 inches from a
    wall", some capacities are in US imperial, some are in metric and standard
    imperial, etc.

    To show that MV Agusta like the way George Dubya talks, they refer to the
    lubrication system as "Lubrification", which left me staggerfied.
