I said "it's a single sprocket and the second cam is chain driven, seems straightforward enough"...."You not ever done a Hi n Dri'?"

ruffgeezer Posted July 26, 2023 Posted July 26, 2023 Re: the fogging - I gave my front screen a good clean with some glass cleaner last night ( the good studd that smells like vinegar mixed with catpiss) and I can report that nonsuch fogging occurred on my journey home this morning. "Why dont you try it at home at home?" As Anthea Turner once said on her 'Aerobics a d Bean Flicking' dvd. tooSavvy 1
