Do a wheelie and shake the bike a lot at the same time, be ready to catch it when it comes out the hole.

What sort of job do you have that you're able to fuckabout with your bike all night long?

"All this changed after Odon's staff at the garage showed him a YouTube video revealing how to extract a loose cork from inside an empty bottle. It's remarkably simple. You tilt the bottle, stuff a plastic bag down the neck and blow into the opening. The bag balloons inside the bottle, wrapping itself tightly around the cork. Then you just pull it out."

'Try not to drop your bulb next time ' would be a pretty good tip IMHO!

When you say "watching", do they know about it? Thinking

I need closure on this anecdote. How badly did you wreck the bike getting it out? Have you welded it in place to make sure it doesn't come loose again?

Where is the R6?
