No Idea. I am sure the writing says something about it all. But I'm a pictures and pop up man. And the there was some long words I didn't understand.

And food was waiting for me in the Café.

Oh yes, There's a shop and Café too. I took videos but not sure how to put them on the forum.

IIRC - after seeing this ashtray, we are adding it to all new motorbikes. For the true retro look.
