:o)  That law would need to spread a LONG way before it would affect me! 
  Anyway, there's no harm in discussing bike issues on list, but as 
someone else said, political debates on list rarely end well.

Washing?  Whassat?  :o)  No moisture.  I'd been out for a couple of 
short dry runs that day, but noticed the bike was a tiny bit sluggish 
starting so thought I'd give the battery a top-up charge.

I took the battery out to charge it overnight, and when I put it back in 
the alarm simply refused to unset.  I tried the two-button realignment 
repeatedly, the batteries in the transmitter are new, but to no avail. 
When I bought the ST 5 years ago (it's an '00 ST) the dealer provided me 
with the original alarm bypass block, which I fitted last weekend to get 
the bike running again.

Anyway, I'm running, but really wanted to know if anyone had recovered 
from a 'dead' Veto Evo by going through the unspiking procedure.

Oh, and would ANY Veto Evo fit?  I believe the loom connectors are 
different bike-to-bike, but of course I have them from my alarm?  If I 
pick one up off eBay, could I swap the loom connectors over?

Thanks once again,

Andrew
