    As has been said many a time on here - no good making these sorts of claims without photos...

    Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead
    Do not walk ahead as I may not follow.
    Do not walk beside me as the path is narrow
    In fact FU*K off and leave me alone

    Transene makes a product that should be able to get rid of any unwanted chrome.

    It is preferential to refrain from the utilisation of grandiose verbiage in the circumstance that your intellectualisation can be expressed using comparatively simplistic lexicological entities. (...such as the word fuck.)

    Autosol rocks! Ive been using it for years but what I found out was that its also an abrasive. I cleaned my pipes too much with it and a yellow tinge began to appear over time. The local re-chrome guy told me that it was the nickle underplating coming through as I was wearing through the chrome! Chrome is extremely tough but also extremely thin. Might try binklebonks stuff if I see it.

    Ok so I am having a totally blond week here... The above post was made by me not by the man... He had been playing about with my laptop..grrr
    words were spoken and I didn't realize he had logged into the site. So sorry Patrick no alter ego...
    Hope I am making sense.
    Actually I suspect I dont always make sense but hey.... gotta try huh.

    thanks for the DO NOT USE DISHWASHING LIQUID tip... lol. I would have used it eventually so its good that someone mentioned it.
    I wouldn’t be broke if the voices in my head paid rent

    Should hopefully have LOTS of sexy photos of LOTS of bikes.. although I'm a bit disappointed in ticket sales from people belonging to "CHCH KBers"
