You could also use a large rubber mallet but a small sledge hammer applied vigorously to a 4x2 should do the job. Don't miss the wood but try to miss all your fingers.
thanks ive git it back down again, no fingers bashed! :shock:

Good idea Alan, bit too much of a man's bike for you anyway, and the price/amount of petrol to run a kettle must keep you awake at night ;)
Look, my paintwork hasn't got "Fish scales" :x they're "Dragon scales" right!!! However, after some thought, I will accept "Black Marlin" or "Swordfish", but definitely not "Haddock" or "Cod".

No, just too chuffin' heavy to shove in/out of the garage, and 40mpg isn't so bad.

Can't remember ever considering selling FAB in the 35 years that I"ve owned it???
You must be confusing me with that strange Lancashire fella Paul, or maybe it's an age/memory thing ;)
