    Spent the weekend up to me elbows in the stuff.

    Top advice though guys, the Suzuki now looks like new, all the swingarm and
    surround is a gleaming oil/ lube/ brake dust free area.

    Get the wheels back on tuesday, and then I can bolt everything back together
    again.

    Cheers.

    Heh, not for 4 years now, no!

    Its not all that flammable though is it? Its not like it mega combustable
    like petrol or tricloroethelene (sp).

    S'big enough for me ta. Why would I want a lairy litre bike anyhow, the
    longest straight bit of road here is less than a mile.

    Although, had I not just bought a house the 750K4 would be in my garage
    right now.

    Paraffin does have a lower flash point than petrol but that doesn't make it
    "safe".

    For a given value of "safe".

  10. Oooh look, it's one of those mini garages you have to push the car
    into because you cant open the doors once in.

    Vass was seen penning the following ode to ... whatever:
    Some of us have similar numbers in the garage but they're all ours...

    5?

    Behave. TOG often has more than that, and AAW, darsy, Tim Crowther
    and others (including, once upon a time, my very good self) are near
    to five each without having any visitors.

    darsy Guest

    there's 4 in my garage at the moment (and 3 pedal cycles). I don't
    think I've ever had 5 bikes at the same time.

    Still, I find out what my bonus[1] is in about 4 weeks time, so you
    never know.

    [1] I know what my pay-rise will be, but they like to keep the bonuses
    a secret.

    They do that at my place too, so I find out in March.

    I'll bet it's fairly shit as the huge profit we made probably won't be
    quite as high as the huge profit they set as a target... Just like last
    year, and the year before. Neat trick.
