I just wanted to double check my shock length (347) and fit a hugger, so needed the swingarm off to drill and tap the top of the brace.

She said the dvd is still sealed and she hasn't watched it herself yet, so I'll have to wait :( hurry up i'm getting racing withdrawal symptoms here!!

Having a week off work to visit family on the Isle of Man and not taking the bike.
Probably not taking the Lancia either due to anticipated snow and therefore gritting/salting of roads.
Having a very annoying squeak on the vehicle we will probably end up going in.

May as well stay here!

That sounds good. There also more talks about having a London F1 circuit. Seems British motorsport is being evaluated and more money pushed into it. :thumbup:

That's what I first though, but this is Jamie and he hasn't the experience of feel. Knowing how far to tighten something before it reaches that point of snapping/sheering/threading or rounding off. It's too easy to snap smaller nuts and bolts.

Use a Nyloc nut on the end, as said it's a PIVOT bolt so shouldn't be tight anyway....
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

You can try VHT paint in the oven next, just make sure you disable the smoke alarm first. :lol:
