Started having a clean up behind the sprocket cover last night, hmmm tasty! Hoping to get the chain off in one via the removal of the footpeg technique, then I can let it soak for a while and see how it's looking under all the crud. Might just treat it to a new C/S set though, we'll see.

(So fuel has been going down in price this last few weeks, on the way to work this morn...1st services £1.13 p/l...2nd £1.14 p/l 3rd((on A2 normally the dearest))...£1.12...On way home they have all gone up 1p...! Fecking Xmas spirit for you. Thanks Multinational Robbing Bastids ! Still saw one in Woowich @ £1.11

When home lubed the chain.
Making up since 2007, sometimes it's true...Honest...
