I'll give Dandy a phone wednesday night then![[Image: good.gif]](http://www.carpe-tdm.net/ipb/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/good.gif)
And hear nearer the time whats happening. Don't know what the other guys from Scotland are doing yet might get a meet up somewhere but I'm flexible (with time that is before Dandy passes remarks). I have just spent a fun hour trying to get the spring back on the side stand after fitting crash bars and buggered me thumb up as well oh the joys. ![[Image: wub.gif]](http://www.carpe-tdm.net/ipb/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wub.gif)

Bummer... If you have to remove/replace again here's what to do:
Get a good grip on both ends with some locking pliers (we call 'em 'vise-grips') and bend the spring in a <b>U</b>. In the 'outer part of the bend' the sping is spaced wide. Put coins between the spaces, then bend it the other way and do the same. When it straightens out the coins will make it longer. Hook it back on then use the vise-grips to pull the coins back out.
(Then use the coins to buy a pint)![[Image: drinks.gif]](http://www.carpe-tdm.net/ipb/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/drinks.gif)
