Is that the bennetts 1 in wales? I got the email to go on that one 2, signed up for it some time last year, then got an email back in january but can't make it due to my exams being next week. so I would have no chance of revising, plus I'd want to stay the full time, but monday Is my first exam. Please let me know how it goes tho.

I cleaned mine the weekend before last, for the first time since October... then took the wheels off and hosed it with ACF50 (using a compressor and paraffin gun). Looked quite nice, for a while- that'll do it till May

Cheers Mark.

You better hope that in that time it hasn't grown a mind of it's own and been out joyriding without you!
I mean, if you'd left a sock unsupervised that long there'd be a new civilisation claiming independance from the Crown and admittance to the EU!

Naaa, it's at my brothers, he rides a Z1 so can't handle anything more spirited

Or are you saying my personal hygiene leaves a bit to be desired (wondered why I got a couple of bottles of smelly for my birthday ).

Cheers Mark.
