Retrobike unearths new elements for the Periodic Table!

I'm so glad I found this thread as I thought I was alone in the study of obscure metallurgy.
My specialist field is in the study of surface treatment afflictions mainly found on components of Italian extraction, although many examples have also been found over the Alps in France and here in GB.
The most common one is kromononadhesionitis (also known as flakeyloosekromitis) which is rumoured to be caused by the inclusion of poorpreparationum during the finishing process.
Studies have found that the appearance of kromononadhesionitis can be rapidly accelerated by just one day of englishsaltonroadation, but cases have been found even in nosinoriginalboxatia.

To avoid falling foul of this potentially expensive and demoralising condition it is advisable to enjoy the potentially affected components by viewing from afar on a sunny day, whist licking a gelato, but not to partake in ownership as garagecondensationus can strike at any time.

Typical examples to avoid are any shiny plated steel bicycle parts, shiny motorcycle and car parts manufactured in Italy and of course complete vehicles that may show signs of lanciadeltaoxidisationitis or wherehaveallthealfasudsgonitis.
 
This above can lead to a dose of tubeitis . Obsessing over to following.
753, 708, 653, 531 Competion, 531 Super Tourist, 525, 525 Triathalon, 501DB, 501SB, 500, 753 ATB, 653 ATB, 531 ATB, 501 ATB, 500 ATB, 531 Magnum, 501 Magnum, 500 Magnum.
There are many more cases known caused by columbusitt
 
IknowwhatIvegotium This is a disputed element: those who believe they've discovered some of it are adamant about its existence, but cynics call it a 'hypothetical' element that doesn't really exist and is merely assumed in order to satisfy the wishful theories of dreamers. Others call it a 'virtual' element on account of the proliferation of claims to have found it on eBay. Yet others suggest that it's actually a type of antimatter, because it doesn't bloody well matter what you think you've got, it's still nothing special.
 
L'eroicaititas .
A rare element . Known side effects are that it causes spending of large mounts of cash on gas pipe .
Other effects are pedalitis . Seeking out a form of platform for the feet that have straps and odd shapes of metal on them .
Often found in the middle of a muddy field miles from anywhere .
Folk are known to travel great distances to attend .
