Well, if it was fixed, it was fixed. I couldn't see how you could have sold

I've just broken my Gixer 750 for spares because I had nagging doubts
about selling it as a complete bike.

More or less how I feel (look up there somewhere....). But I'm still
mildly interested in the change of "the dealer took it back" story.
Originally, I thought: "Blimey, well done, result, I didn't think
you'd pull that one off.....".

Now it's "I knew I could have won, but who wants to be bothered with
lawyers anyway...". Which puts a slightly different complexion on
