    To get to "under the seat" on my CBR you have to take the side panels
    off (two plastic screws) and unbolt the seat (10 or 12mm). Guess where
    the toolkit is kept.
    I'll get it done, yes. God knows when, as I'll have to take the wheel
    off the bike. With my minimal mechanical skills, a wedding this
    weekend, my hallway to finish painting and the CD to fix for the Loony
    Tours trip - it might be some time.

    Tax and MOT expired on the VT and I can't be arsed to sort it. Sold it
    to Em. Now she has three.

    My ship is currently sailing backwards and forwards on the horizon
    searching for a reef upon which to founder while I sort out a
    demarcation dispute with the dockers.

    You in Thursday?

    And speaking of tax disks... the fuckers have put some gold and silver
    foil in the new design so you can't simply photo copy them.

    Grr. If the rain doesn't get to them some baseball-cap wearing ****
    steals them (ok, I've only had one stolen). And now I can't put a
    quality facsimile of the real thing on the bike and replace it when it
    gets sodden or stolen.

    Arseholes.

    Hmm... I was using the copies legitimately which is what pisses me off!

    Got one of those for the Platybus. The amount of money it costs, it
    *should* be fucking gold plated.

    Theoretically, yes.

    In reality, this week - as a user of public transport who has to get to
    Wolverhampton on Friday night - no.

    Next week?

    Evening, yes. You can help me decide which tie to wear to a wedding on
    Saturday. Bring your daughter.

    I have a couple of Homer Simpson ones with gravy stains on I could bring
    round.
    No need, I can do the job perfectly well, I taught them everything they
    know.
