[Ducati] Italian to English Translation

[the_lammster at comcast.net]

No but I can handle a translator on my PC! ;-}  Actually, the translator for context and a Italian-English dictionary for alternate meanings.

LA MIA MOTO BEVE OLIO, MA  NON MANGERA' MAI RISO.  My motorcycle may drink oil, but it never eats my fun (literal, I'd say "eats my happiness").

FAR FUMARE LA GOMMA, UCCIDE IL COPERTONE.  If you burn rubber, you'll kill the tire (literal, I'd say "ruin the tire").

> GOMMA, UCCIDE IL COPERTONE" that looks suspiciously like a Surgeon General's 
> warning label and a second shirt with the slogan "LA MIA MOTO BEVE OLIO, MA 
> NON MANGERA' MAI RISO". Google translates these to: 
> "TO MAKE TO SMOKE THE RUBBER, KILLS THE COPERTONE" 
> "MY MOTION DRINKS OIL, BUT NOT MANGERA' NEVER LAUGHED" 
> Can anyone do better?
