Sports: Re: [DucatiST] Re: ST Madness Arkansas NDC

Meanwhile Jack, those of us in the Old World know full well that an
"Arkansas" is an oilstone ideally suited to removing a high spot from
a brake disc or putting a nice edge on a filleting knife. I guess it might be
useful for tuning handsaw teeth, since I believe that you say "Ah can saw".
Thinking about it, maybe overzealous use of an Arkansas led to the Ozark musical saw?

Errm, I now return you to our normal programme on fettling Italian motorcycles.
