Worst I got was having to slow to 10mph on a motorway because waves were getting up over my boots. Was sunny when I left as well so I had leathers on...ended up with dye running into everything I had underneath. And I had my PS2 in the tankbag as well. Won't play DVDs anymore

OOH Bugger! Won't Play DVD's anymore. There is a good parts forum on the t'internet, Can't thin of the darn name right now. Let me know if you need it though and I'll trawl through my emails on Hotmail. Here it is, Google is king eh.
www.pstation.co.uk You should be able to find some help with your PS2 there and also parts prices etc.
As for getting leather dye out of your undercrackers I'll have to speak to my wife about that one!

Thing is, I don't have a garage! So it's not so easy to clean any time. But I do clean it first chance I get...

Btw what do you use to clean fiddly bits? E.g. rear shock? I can get my hand/sponge in there to clean off the dirt (I don't go as far as polishing it I'm afraid!) but I can only get to certain bits of course (luckily I can get to all the visible bits). I definitely think I'm turning into you! Hey I do put the miles on though, I think it's got 2600 now (picked it up April 20th or something like that).

Gaffa tape a toothbrush on the end of a stick. Sorted.

i like your thinking

I use one of those green stringy mittens - You get into more places than a cloth or sponge and dont rip your hands open.

I think Poundstretcher sell some white ones.
