Through the unbelievable goodwill of some members here, it looks like I'll be taking my bike to cadwell
Weeksy, your offer of using your bike and/or going out your way to transport mine for fixing...... thankyou.
Nelly, your help (ongoing) in getting a part to me even though I can't bring the bike to you for the work...... thankyou.
Paul, (my buddy who's not a member but has a trailer!) for the transportation logistics...... thankyou.
But most of all -
PeteB - you've volunteered to do the spannering in my absence...... unbelievable! Thanks!
And to others like ck, psychlist, triplenine for their offers of help too.
As they say in the oscars - Couldn't have done it without you!!
