Phil go chuck up or get a doctor, that sentence made no sense at all! Heavy metal poisoning alert!

No, I'm OK now. I just ate a banana and feel much better. I googled the toxicity levels for tin and indium - both are pretty low. The sentence made no sense as I am dyslexic and can't type

ah thats good haha, you plonker. Placebo effect of knowing it fell in there hey!

I'm already camping in May, just outside a town called Le Man I think. Apparently there's some kind of race on, MotoGP or something?

Get in!

Well I have finally decided what I am going to do. After months of will I won't I. I am breaking the SV. I thought quite a bit about using the SV as a project and doing things to it that I really wanted and then bringing it out when the job was done. But the truth is I have too much going on to ever be able to afford the time required to spend on a project. Then there is the expense. There will always be 'other' things the money could be better spent on. So I will break the SV and use the money to do some serious things to the YZF. That way I don't have to dip my hand in my pocket too much for some nice things for the YZF. One bike will pay for the other. Hopefully I will be moving beginning of March. In April the garden will have a nice double door shed in it. Once that happens, things will start. 1st will be the strip down of the SV, then the work will start on the YZF. First will be new bouncy bits and then new clothes. I'll be sort of sad to see the SV go, but at the end of the day it's only a bike. Roll on March when my motorcycling activities begin again. Hopefully I will be road legal again before the AR. Still not looking forward to that phone call to the insurance company though.

Shame to hear about the SV being broken, but it sounds like a solid plan, and that is a good thing! It will get you back on the road and happier so that's cool.

Shouldn't have any problem selling the tank and panels, just contact the Aquafresh factory to see if they want any promotional vehicles

I have quite a few spares as well. tank, rear faring, wheel, all sorts of bits and bobs. I am not sure Aquafresh would see it the same way as you.

On another note I went to the dentist this morning and the injections are just starting to wear off. At last I will be able to have a coffee without spilling it all down my front and looking like John Merrick.

Hi Ape,

As Warthog said, good that you've got a plan, it'd be good to see you on the road soon.

Sounds like a pan.

A cunning plan.

A cunning plan that bares no similarity to a Baldric cunning plan.


Less you just flog the SV when it warms up a bit.
