OK, so maybe owning up to the Lambretta racing wasn't a smart move, 

 

Hey, don't knock  Lambretta.  They built a neat 250 V twin, shaft drive 250cc 
world FIM GP bike around 1952 or 53.  It didn't win or anything, but it had 
some of the most unique engineering of the day.  It was pretty fast too. They 
never built a road version of it, but it was a helluvah race bike.
