Saturday saw me fitting a new set of brake pads to the Bullet - the ones I took out were given to me

by Andy back in 1994 - so I guess they've lasted well.

Sunday and it was time to head for Darley Moor where Andy was parading the Starcati.  OK, so there was

a bit of a failure due to a sheared off roll pin, but nothing that an  hour or so of fettling didn't cure and by the time

it came to the second parade things went fine . . . .until the return back lap when is seem that old Gremlin known

as "shit in the carburettor" struck and the last few hundred yards were done manually.
