As Oddball glided in and parked at the Hayle bike meet something was missing, it didnt register at first in fact it only registered when I shouted a greeting and he hissed back with clenched teeth "Sssssh the bike cut out as I came in and I've a feeling that it wont start" yes it was the unique "potato-potato sound that Harleys tend to make when they are running that was missing! after a play around with the leads and a quick check of the wiring we decided that a spark was absent and Oddball was last seen on the phone to girlie name insurance breakdown whilst trying to hide from the stare of a couple of hundred bikers!
Needless to say I rode home alone
