Rob,

Thanks to your generosity, the 'new' sprocket arrived just in time for the DD Cadwell weekend. However, my poorly wife had plans to stay with her friend in Devon so I never made it to Cadwell.

I don't know why I didn't spot the condition of the sprocket when I bought the bike because I thought I'd given the it a good looking over, but my mechanical inspection was probably compromised by me being in "Red, Shiny...I want it" mode.

Fordie and I put the sprocket on after the MotoGP on Saturday, just in time for the BHCN land speed record attempt.

I would have put a new chain on in ordinary circumstances, but this month and for the foreseeable I'm short of about £1000 a month since my wife has been put on sick pay. Anything new will have to wait for a bit.

Including the tools. That's the original 1993 toolkit that came with the bike by the way and I've never looked at it before. It's probably lain untouched in the underseat tray for the last 13 years
