Thanks as always.

Right then, in anticipation of another farter motor bolt/cable corrosion feck up, I've rebuilt a second starter motor, just need to get some of those nice insulating washers which seem very hard to come by, any of you bright sparks know where I can buy them?

Best to order over the phone rather than on-line as the on-line catalogue sometimes has errors. Other than that the service was excellent.

Watching the markets fall away is a double whammy - own savings and also I work as an investment adviser. So, well pissed off, I had a glass of wine and logged in here and started tapping away.

Sadly no joy for me, daily commute so its spent plenty of time getting wet this year. have to laugh though. went round the outside of a guy on his fireblade on the way home yesterday.

I can turn the blades but there is a considerable amount of resistance and I'm wondering if its just gummed up with ...

This is true, but then of course you also don't get the improved chassis.....

silence is golden.

Forgot to say, if I was looking at a naked I'd probably be in the market for a Tuono or superduke. Good deals on the former.
