Aye timbo and Michael,
Sorry to read Prop' has gone AWOL for a while, but I hope his interest returns; if he feels like it. I have known others whom you would have thought would be smitten for the rest of their days, suddenly sell the lot and go bush in their own sweet way. Sometimes you have to take things a minute at a time and ours isn't the place to pry.

I have been known to not ride a motorcycle for several years, due to circumstances, even though the 450 remained in the shed. Bikes can become an 'illness', like most things in excess.
P.S. I'm no engineer, more of a self taught tinkerer and applier of a cold chisel and 2lb ball pein!

I am in debt to many patient souls whom have passed on snippets of wisdom or hard won nous and I can but thank them, apply it and then pass it on, if it works.
Good health and check your lock nuts with a thumper, its the torque! Your old 'bacon slicer' has it by the bucket!

My regards, Bill
