Why aren't the exotics more reliable?

It isn't often you have to call the boss;
"Sorry I'm going to be late this morning, the Cesare Paciotti boots won't start"
"Really? have you checked the welt stitching?"

OR

"I need to leave early I need to take the Gucci loafers in for a service"
"OK, but you'll have to take me to lunch in those next week"

Maybe the correct phrase should have been "more reliable".

A quotation from my late best friend, Ken Weber. He owned both Ferrari and Porsche cars, as well as a good sense of humor. When I asked him a similar question;

"Italian cars are built by artists, German cars are built by engineers."

I think we were marvelling at the power window mechanism in a 308GT4 at the time. A right mess of wires, pulleys, and other assorted junk that had self destructed inside the car's door...

I can't think of anything Italian that's reliable, maybe that porn star that became a member of parliment, but other than her - nothing.

Beretta firearms are among the best in the world.

Porn stars, shoes... So Berettas are Italian. My dad had a Beretta over and under 12g and was the nat champ skeet shooter with it.

So the Duc's have been ok for reliability. My friends ones have been a nightmare. I think it depends on who your mechanic is. A bit of a black art working on them. Todd, what was the bike that you were being cruel to the coyote with ?

I wish my VBM coffee maker wasn't so Italian.
