    Have you got a link to the guys who supplied you with the Tokico 6
    pot's brake seals please? My housemate is rebuilding his ZX7R brakes
    and has baulked at the 110 quid Kawasaki want for a full set.

    He texted me to ask me to tell you who it was, if I could remember - but I
    can't, so this has been another waste of a few hundred bits.

    However, he did hint at a near "international incident" from the Chimay
    crowd, but I can't see anything - anybody got the juicy gen?

    Yeah, I spoke to Bomber Bonwick earlier this evening. Apparently some
    Belgians were playing loud music on the Friday night, so on the
    Saturday the British Expeditionary Force stole their barbeque. And
    it's gas. The Belgians got a bit sporty over this, and started to
    create. This disturbed a very large French chap, who went and knocked
    a couple of the Belgians to the floor.

    No doubt more details will follow.

    So, in brief:

    Belgians = Wild party animals
    British = Underhanded thieves
    French = Skilled brawlers

    Talk about playing up to your national stereotypes.

    They were Belgians, he'd have been hanging out a white flag if they'd
    been Germans

    You say "stole", I say "demolished using the gas canister as an IED".

    I only managed to get before and after photos, not quick enough to get a
    shot of shrapnel 30 feet in the air.

    Better late than never: http://www.motorcycleproducts.co.uk/

    IIRC, they sell them in packs of 5 for £20-ish, so he can get a full set
    (and some left over) for about £60.

    Hmpf, there's a lack of Triumph and KTM bits. Unless you know where
    the same part came from another bike.

    For the things I was after (i.e. brake seals), you just need to know the
    sizes to order the relevant sets of seals. If you don't know the sizes,
    email them and ask: they've been very helpful.

    Triumph use Nissin brake calipers, not sure about KTM but I'd guess
    Brembo.
