^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Was he expecting to "get lucky" then?
BTW:
BGN: There's a bike rack on its way to you via the underground railway.
Should be with you later this week.

Oooh, thanks. How does this underground railway thing work? I know
I've been part of it once...

It works by me picking a rack up from Dave and dropping one down to you
next time I'm at the bike shop right next to your employer's place in
the centre of town.
Is that ok?

Fantabbytastic. They will then know that I'm a Friend of Lozzo...

On the subject of Bandits... when you re-covered you B6's seat where
did you purchase the cover from? My B6 has a seat in need of
re-covering (gone at the front, a bit worn out at the sides too) but
am confident that even after recovering the plastic bit that sticks
out of the front will cut through the new cover over time anyway.
A sensible option would be to replace the whole seat, but replacements
from some Bandit website are quite expensive.

I source the vinyl through contacts in the trade. I have enough here to
do another Bandit seat if you'd like me to do yours for you. It doesn't
take too long and if done properly the front won't tear through for a
very long time. I recovered the one on my Bandit before Adie collected
it a couple of years ago, and I recovered her 1200 seat as well, neither
has gone through again. From factory they aren't done very well, hence
the tearing problem.

Thanks. As the bike is used daily it will be difficult for me to get
the seat to you. I trust you'll be playing EoSM 19th & 20th August?
If you still have the vinyl then, have have it with you, and are able
to do it there then it would be ideal and I would, again, be thankful.

I can do it at EOSM if you like, it'll be no trouble but I'll need
reminding just beforehand.
