It's certainly true that I could expand on edition 1 with what's happened since it was published.

The big stumbling block is the publisher, who right now isn't interested in a revised edition, even though they are delighted with how well it has sold.

Anyone who tries to get a book published will soon discover that there are stringent rules in following the corporate style. Not only does the narrative have to conform, but the side boxes, and especially the specification tables are set to a template.

So what you see is my work squeezed into that corporate template.

It was never intended to be a workshop manual, because that's not the corporate image, and besides, there are so many engine and gearbox variations since 1997, that there would be a whole book in there without anything else.

I have offered to write a three wheeler version of my book, but the publisher isn't convinced that it would sell in numbers.

So for now, I'm done!!
