Julie, it was just a combination of absolute blind panic to get it the 45miles home as quickly as possible (knowing it was drying all the time I was riding) and then heart breaking to see the absolute state it was in, given the time and effort I've put into it....

.....you should have seen her poor little tea-tray, absolutely covered in white paint...

...took hours of reconstructive surgery to get it back to shape......thank God I didn't cut it off, or I'd have a white stripe a foot wide up my back and over most of the seat!!!

See Jmo!!!!.....tea-trays are a valuable safety feature!!

Chloroform is the wonder solvent of preference takes everything off but is very bad for plastic type stuff

Alex, you've got a wicked sense of humour.. :lol: :lol: ...when are you leaving the UK? Maybe I should pop up for that brew before you bugger off to sunnier lands!

you say the sweetest things steven@siemens. pop up any time for a drinking and making each other laugh situation. I am about to do that right now as I have a chum up from londres from back in the days. leaving end of sept. Normandy not that sunny but the cheeses are good, the ladies sound lovely and the vin n'est pas trop cher.
adieu.

Madhatter - not advice, just a comment - would get struck off for giving any dodgy advice.....

what are your boots made of that they are more screwed than the bike. soak them in something potent. they'll probably survive it.

This from somebody who made a libelous comment about me being a pimp!!
