He's a really nice bloke and clear knows what he's doing. As he explained it, the washing is needed to get the ACF50 on there so it can do its job. He took his time to explain the process and what it entailed then gave me a run down on how to look after the bike when I wash it.

... commission package that will keep me in the life I have become accustomed too (giggle) I believe the car budget is pretty basic, but to be fair after driving around in an older car, hoping it makes it to the next destination brings things into perspective somewhat ha ha, so I will look for something ...

It's a bit weird that the only aircraft allowed to fly after the attacks on 9/11 belonged to the Bin Laden's. The guys who owned the Twin Towers took out new insurance on them just days before and this time they included cover for terrorism. Did Bush ...

I think it was the filter replenishing after the oil change as suggested in my original post. Especially if happened a few weeks ago. If it's low top it up and monitor consumption. Honda quoted 1 litre every 1000 miles as the upper acceptable ...

... old owner kept good care of her before me, and I wouldn't miss anything on the service intervals. Again it comes down to the old saying of look after it and it will look after you! I certainly don't want to screw it up haha!
