    Mines 05 but I think that's easier than 08+ isn't it?

    05 is 1 of the few gearbox's you can do without taking out the engine,your lucky.saves a fortune in labour costs+time.

    The bikes in good hands mate. Arthur will get that bike of yours up and running in no time.

    Just don't look at his bike though it'll only make you jealous.

    I just wish I stayed closer to pop and also see him at work.

    Yeah, good luck with it Martin, there's nowhere better it could be, broken.

    By the way, "pass him tools"? Dude, lets not get too aspirational, eh...

    This is the Bikemad one we're talking about here. Jerry Burgess can hand him tools, Patrick Head can hand him tools.

    You?

    Milk and two sugars, mate.

    Well I showed off my tea making skills today and judging by the 3/4 cup left I may need more practice, I will see if the bush I fed it too is still alive in the morning lol

    Sorry about that Arthur we are those weird people that don't drink hot drinks here and therefore not too good at it

    I will predict that 5th gear has cracked around the inner edges,possibly a bit has fallen down jamming up.
