Yeh Chris from Double take lives at the end of my road, we were going to speak to him but thought best ask on here first.

My folks are on the outskirts of Eastleigh, where the bike is untill its fixed, I live in Swansea though so not ideal..

Alan does take a bit of talking into doing Jobs! I've never had a problem but as I said, I've never taken anything too complicated in.

Spike I think you passed me on the M3 this morning on the way to Basingstoke. I was in a car. :down:
