Good point, well presented old chap. :lol:
Nah it wont roll past you. The nut will work loose & fall off & some miles later if the spindel moves it will fall out on one side only the wheel will turn & jam..locking up the rear in a huge skid. Chances are you wont hold it & will either low side or go straight on depending on spedd at time of lock up, angle of lean ect. Lets just hope its not on a mountain switch back with no barrier & a 1000' drop...

Now if the wheel fails...expect the same result...

Landing a new job :biggrin

Went for the interview Monday afternoon, all went well and heard back from them today saying they want me to work for them, only downside is that for possibly for the next 12 months it's the late shift ill be working rather than a early late rota. But this could work out in the long run.

On the plus side, I'll be bringing home the same amount of money for spending 10 hours a week less at work :biggrin

Which is handy with baby Kennedy on the way as it means an extra 2 hrs a day at home being able to watch her grow up :) they'll also provide me with a basic tool box, meaning I can bring the big green beast home, if I want to.

Still a few decisions to make and just waiting for a start date :thumbup:

a close friend of mine suffered a stroke last week, today I heard he was able to move his right arm and hand ever so slightly, it's totally made my day.
