woops!
You are the man with many a spare..LOL

I got the VRaptor out of the shed today. I nearly gave myself a hernia, trying to lift the ar$e end like I do the SVs. So a million and one point turn to get the fffing thing out if its corner. Nearly dropped it a few times.

Obviously still not over the caesarian then

Moral of the tale being that you shouldn't wash your bike...
