Went to collect another Series today. Came already stripped to a rolling chassis which has been welded and painted with new brakes, new fuel tank, new props, new shocks and springs. It also came with a truck cab, Hard top and sides.

PETROL PRESSURE WASHER MOTOCROSS MOTO X JET WASH on eBay (end time 22-Feb-10 13:25:09 GMT)

have been looking at steam cleaners only because doris says she wants one, thou i suspect she wants it for cleaning the oven and other "domestic" activities

I thought while I was replacing my jetwash it would be worthwhile getting the steamer to shift the stubborn crap.
