Dang yer good Howard! I only figured it out because I was in the Boy Scouts, its the symbol they use. Mom & Dad always said being in the Scouts would be good for me, they were right! Ha!

I know I've posted these before, but I love this 'Tourbillon de Rota' wheel driven bell, it makes everyone smile when I pull the tiny trigger and it rings for as long as you hold it.

Another French one I have is this retailers model (I think). Simon also happens to be the name of one of my brothers, one day it'll be on a bike he'll ride.
