Hi:
I think the video should be watched at this site:

I believe the other one is intended for a foreign language users and
displays lots of question marks that may be confusing.
That is a good video. Our politicians should be required to watch
it 10 times.

Dear Parker,
Thanks for the better page reference. The one I quoted was passed on
to me from a friend in Mexico so I guess you are right about it being
intended for a foreign language.
By the way, have you noticed that the bike they are working on in the
video looks to me like an all metric Harley-Davidson. In this case the
dimensions they are looking for are the design and build dimensions of
180 millimetres at the front and 140 millimetres at the back, so the
script should go something like this:
Now let me see — 140 millimetres at the back … and … 180 millimetres
at the front — what is the difference between 180 and 140 — could all
of you (three other guys) come and help please — I need to know the
difference between 180 mm and 140 mm — does anyone have a calculator?
Cheers,
