how about..........

Amanda the actress waits at the station
she's drifting with nothing to do
with dilettante steps she's quick to accept
the weather and times turning screw
she lives in a tower with defences
she learned from her mother and friends
she walks like a pharaoh, dresses in day-glo
when she's in pain she pretends...
That late in the night when the lights are all out
then she slips off her stockings and shoes
she makes you her lover and lets you discover
the smiles she keeps, she keeps for you
She keeps no, she keeps no
she keeps no secrets from you

..superb Angels
played LOUD of course

All Music aside (WTF!!...how did that happen?)

Things I have learnt so far (I have the bike apart and the bearing off):

1. Its good to have mates! thanks to everyone for the tips and advise and a HUGE thanks to to Greeny for all the help so far.
2. Don't trust bike shops....ever!! (See pics below of my locking ring)
3. The freezer is your friend!!
4. I won't ever be bothered about doing big jobs on my bike again.

FFS I hope you didnt pay the $80 an hour to have some clown do that to your Scoot Plas.
I mean it's painful doing it yourself but at least you give A crap about how its done.

Good on ya mate I'll be doing this soon myself.
