What do you mean he didn't know where the bloody brake pedal was?

Moto Guzzi "Alce" with Breda 30.
"Alce" means "Elk" in Italian, a mammal estinct from Italy since preistoric age: why Moto Guzzi named this motorbike this way is beyond my knowledge. Pehaps because in the '30s "Western" comics were very popular in Italy. Fascist avversion for everything came from abroad came later.

We used to call any forced social event a "greet and creep" as the sycophants tended to hog the senior officers. Looking at this photo, I think "greet and creep" also applies...but for a slightly different reason.
