Couldn't find a tub big enough to do a vinegar bath for my Tour2 frame, so I soaked a load of rags in vinegar, wrapped them around the frame and then wrapped them in cling film to keep them in place. Stuck it in the shed and left it for 24 hours. Came back to find towels were rust coloured in places, with a few bright vivid green streaks. Totally ruined the chrome.  :tickedoff: :idiot2: :Aresehole: :uglystupid2:

Getting in with the wrong crowd  :-[   went swimming when i should have gone to the cinema


having crashed 6 cars under 30 mph and still writing off two of them   :coolsmiley: - i have now worked out if i drive fast every where i don't crash  >:D


bike wise - selling stuff to cheap - leaving bits to soak too long and being to late to save them  ::)
