Delurk and SOB question
Fri, 22 May 2009 18:56:34 +1000
Hi guys,
I'm posting from Oz, in North Queensland, currently running an 01
Sprint St, and as of today, a 1990 NTV Revere - hence the SOB
question.
I acquired the Revere as a bit of a project, and hopefully as a cheap

Rear puncture
Thu, 21 May 2009 09:57:42 +0000 (UTC)
Damn. My Trident's rear tyre (Bridgestone BT020) has punctured, albeit a
slow one. It's got less than 4000 miles on it, loads of tread and not much
squareing off. I'm having a new one fitted at the weekend, but a mate
reckons it's worth having the old one repaired and kept as a spare,

Batteries rant
Mon, 11 May 2009 14:07:55 GMT
<rant>
To my great annoyance I've just discovered that Manbat, previously
preferred supplier of all things battery-ish have shut their trade
counters, and now only sell through distributors. Their Web site is full
