Welcome to have one of them on loan until TomTom have stock and then buy me a new one...? How does that sound? Smile . Don't think I have a spare power lead though.

I only ended up with 4 over the years from buying spares from non TomTom over priced f*ckers to avoid waiting for repair/replacement.

My Pan rear boot did the same in the Alps 3 years ago! repeated hair pins don't do tyres any favours at all, Swiss tarmac is quite abrasive too!

Laughing That reminds me, Stoner "Your ambition clearly outweighs your talent"

Now, Alan, work on that ambition. They're not safety margins, they're wasted tyre. Wink

edit:
Good to see you guys had a cracking time. Would have loved to have been there. Damn best man duties got in the way.

go for it!! My friend is trying to get Guest passes and they are rarer than hens teeth.
I've got my fingers crossed that I'll win tickets for them at the Roundhouse as part of the Itunes festival. The other half has already won tickets for the Manic Street Preachers on Sunday Cool

WMMST... Hearing yesterday that my minor tweaking of the front forks on Blonde Banana's CBR125 has transformed it from the ill handling shopping trolley that I rode on Sunday evening to something that's actually rideable and you don't have to fight round right handers or think is going to wash out on lefts Laughing !!

Now. Go book your bloody test BB Laughing

Finally sorting the charging circuit on the chop/bobber thing. A broken wire inside the insulation is a hard thing to find!
The starter rebuild was a breeze compared to that.
