Looks kinda like a Silverfish....but it's not silver. 8O
If it's related to the Silverfish...there's never just one.....

![]() ![]() Yes it does look somewhat like a silverfish, which is what led me to the firebrat,... I have seen more then one, these are the most common insect I see in my apartment, but it is still very rare. |

Moquegua Peru, this is fairly typical Peruvian moto shop, I was really surprised to see the T-21 and Allstate. Allstate's (Jawa) were actually sold in Peru, the Triumph must have been imported or possibly sold by a traveler.

If there is no oil UNDER a Brit bike there is likely no oil IN a Brit bike. Believe me it RAVAGES my sense of OCD to have a bike that leaks oil!!!

I carried a catch tray in the trunk of my mercedes. Parked during the day. Pour it back in for the drive home.

Thanks for the pics. What a great shop!
I appreciate the lines on that Allstate; a lot of effort went into that design.
