yes, you did, so I'll hold you personally responsible - the bill's on the way !
Actually, Ains it was your views, as well as others on this forum, that convinced me it was worth spending that sort of money on a 15 year old bike, and hearing it start again yesterday confirmed that it was absolutely the right decision.
If it's not snowing this weekend, I'll try and pile on as many miles as possible, as a shakedown before taking it to Donington.
