I loved XP, by hanging on to it long enough for my computer to go bang meant I'm one of those who dodged it's awful replacement the dreaded Vista! ;D

Thanks for this. I had managed to try and screw the bolt into the captive nut from the wrong side, a senior moment that had me stop. Perhaps I should leave mechanics until the afternoons in my old age? ;D

The number of times I've thought "I'll just fit a new part I've bought, it should only take 1/2 an hour" and then cocked up......
Recent favourite was replacing the steering lock as bike came with no key.
Read threads on the forum, one of which suggested drilling lock barrel and tapping so you could screw in a bolt to grab hold of.
Got the tap in nicely and then it wouldn't turn backwards.
Bike now unrideable with a 3" tap sticking out of the old lock barrel.
A few choice words, laugh at my incompetence and a pause for cup of tea.
Went back and shone a torch down the tap, I could see a sprung loaded silver pin nestling nicely in the tap groove.
Couldn't turn it forwards or backwards.
Eventually drilled another hole parallel to the tap and poked a spike down the tap groove to lift the pin.
Success, tap unscrewed.
Then just drilled a bigger hole and the b'stard eventually came out.
Second time doing something is always simpler than the first.

Never turn the desktop off, just clone the hard drive every 3 years

You lucky man, 'Patina' can add hundreds to the value of a bike!
