The previous owner of my trusty steed went and stuck protective sticky pads on the tank and plastic. Obviously done a long time ago as what appears to be the top layer of the plastic has de-laminated and peeled off. Ive tried petrol, white spirits and Autglym tar/glue residue remover, but NOTHING is touching these pads.
Any ideas what to try next (Fire not being a realistic option).Go out with a BANG… Light a fart!

They have stuff there that will shift caked on adhesive off almost anything without damaging whatever is underneath. If you take the bike and explain the situation, most of the time in exchange for a couple of beer tokens they will pop outside and do it for you there and then, or they will at least tell you what you need to get it off. If you need to buy it, its worth ringing round some others as this stuff is about £25 for 5 litres….

LOVE IS GIVING SOMEONE THE ABILITY TO DESTROY YOU, THEN TRUSTING THEM NOT TO.Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, But rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, VODKA in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming…….WOO HOO, WHAT A RIDE!!
