I think I have damaged my bike's frame

Ah ok. Thanks for the help guys.

This age of ER6 is super susceptible to frame cracking at the top engine mounts where they hang off the frame, something to look at if you haven't yet maybe. It happens right down by where it clamps to the engine.

Thanks for the tips. So I went to Wickes & homebase today to look for a 5 to 6 ft (1.5metres) piece of 4x2 timber (as suggested by red herring), but they all seem to come in in 2.5metres or more. Plus the won't cut it down for you.

Anyone know of anywhere that will just chop a piece off for you and sell it? thanks

B&Q often do a sawing service. Got one nearby?

yeeh there is one around here. Homebase have a sawing section, but for some reason the guy that helped me said that at homebase they no longer saw the timber piece I wanted (not sure why?!). Will give b&q a go in that case, but I thought maybe all of them don't cut the 4x2's/timbers for whatever reason.

iirc they once told me they weren't allowed to cut treated wood, so go for plain.

Or B&Q, but I too agree I think they told me once they could not cut treated wood as it damages the blade???

Just pop past any building site and ask if they've got an old offcut of 4x2 lying around you can have. Stuff like that goes in every skip you see.

Okay. Actually RH, that works out well, because they're constructing that massive complex in London Bridge near where I live, so will give them a go. Otherwise I'll B&Q it! cheers
