This
heat-generation capability was discovered by original Team Spagthorpe enduro
rider, one Reginald deCodswollop, during the fourth annual Pudleby-On-The-Marsh
To Currey Mallet Endurance Race. Reggie was mounted on a very early-production
Springer, and while negotiating
a particularly rough bit of forest corduroy, his genuine Spag-line chaps
burst into flame at the shins, inspiring the catch-phrase "flaming
Codswollop." This was curiously linked with the sensibility of anyone
who would ride a 764-pound enduro machine through the infamous Pudleby Marshes,
but that's Reggie's tale, and another story.
