    Good words from everyone else, so I'll just say

    "Go get it" (or get it delivered )

    thats a good point, im not religious or whatever but the guy could be looking down on you saying 'go on son, give it the berries...' or whatever passes for the sentiment in whatever language he spoke

    I can see where you are coming from but personally i think it's ok to buy it.
    Hmmm decent biker you say? Not lowflyer then
    They call him "Ze Quiet one"
    I listen to what the rice crispies tell me to do

    Well I'd like to think there are bits of my brothers old Honda still doing the rounds. It was 33 years ago though so I bet most it will have rusted away by now.

    Not sure my mum would agree though...

    John, if you think it through it's only like carrying a donor card - your family would want to know some of you can be recycled and provide a better life for the recipients

    Why should it be any different for bike parts

    02 RD07a RWB, Powerbronze tall screen, Remus Grand Prix, TT crash bars, TT pannier frame, Zega style panniers, Alpos top box,TT bar risers, TT headlamp guard, Heated grips, mainstand, Heidenau K60s for road and light offroad, TKC80s for the dirty stuff, Scottoiler, Autocomm, TT Zumo mount, Zumo 550 and most of all A BIG GRIN !!! Oh, and a very nice RD04 HRC coloured Marathon Replica

    We are all asked to do our bit for the environment, we recycle glass, paper, tins and put food in compost heaps to rot.
    Therefore what is the difference with bike spares?
    YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE
