If/when I go back to full-time work, I will have to cut down on blogtime. May I suggest a subscription to The Times paywall?

Either way, he was adamant he didn't want it, and it would have been rude to refuse. I think I have some frame mounts from previous Scottoiler installations, so I'm probably OK for that. Getting it securely on the swingarm is going to be a bit more of a challenge. Cable ties were my first thought, but may not be secure enough. I will hunt through my box of redundant Scottoiler bits (they send loads, don't they?) and let you know.

Fingers crossed I will be through that soon. Thanks, though. The Scottoiler isn't quite as good as it sounds - he took it off the bike and gave me the main bits, but I will need to hunt around the oddments box for ways to fit it to the bike and the swingarm.Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15743685798068014455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7099099432720184584.post-81141150711994034662010-10-22T19:40:41.865+01:002010-10-22T19:40:41.865+01:00Sounds like there is a portion of lucky sod about ...Sounds like there is a portion of lucky sod about your person already mate ,but break a leg as they say in the theatre, remember all of life is a stage....scottoiler...(jealousy tinges an otherwise perfect being...LOL)Indyanhathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07974285525646225459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7099099432720184584.post-40337769152514125712010-10-22T18:23:08.327+01:002010-10-22T18:23:08.327+01:00He has the EFI version of the Bonnie and said that...He has the EFI version of the Bonnie and said that it made the bike run rough.
