Err, you did read the job specification before volunteering didn't you?
Yes I did and nowhere did it say that I had to be HAPPY! :rofl: When did you ever run across a happy breakdown recovery man? I've had to use them 2 times (no not for one of my bikes) and they've been a little grumpy to say the least. I'd say that I should fit the bill nicely, wouldn't you! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

All the time. When they see my little bike they always laugh. Coming back from last year's WWHo! the recovery man near Bath said "You've come how far? ON THAT? :rofl: Then he rang his dad and brother saying, "You'll never guess what heap of junk I've got on my truck" and sent a photo. The reply from dad was, "It looks like a G2CSR." It turned out that said dad and brother were AMC 'nutters' whereas my driver with the newly acquired black eye was a modern sportsbike enthusiast.

Ok, I get the message! No derogatory comments about L/W's and I'll make sure you're in the back of the van where I can't be reached! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I was an AA patrol for 25 years it was (in the old days) the best job in the world and I was always happy. :D

I've just got back from another 70 miles run and discovered that I've lost a front tank fixing bolt. The spares scheme doesn't appear to have one 000364 so can anyone help me find out what I could replace it with. Unfortunately I don't know the specifications. Without it, my attempt at completing this year's WWHo! may fail before even setting out. :cry:

You have my sympathy Janet as one of the front tank bolts went walkabout from my G3 recently. I guess they are not the same, as it was listed as available on the spares site but in any case I was able to make one.
Now they are both wired on, as advised here by other members. ;)

Good luck with your appeal.

000364 is a plain undrilled bolt, what you require Janet is (014997)
BOLT, FIXING PETROL TANK listed in section D petrol and oil tank. It may be that the reason for the bolt going walkabout in the first place is the thread in the tank mounting plate has stripped.
