Reginald deCodswollop
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.
