  • Elkstone Newsletter
    Elkstone Newsletter 23rd Year: No. 7 (271) April 2010 Editor’s Bit I apologise for worrying some people because I was riding a 1909 Triumph motorcycle around the mile block in preparation for the London to Brighton Pioneer Run last March. This machine has no clutch, gears or starter and hence at every stop, the rider has to dismount, run and bump-start to get going. The practise on relatively quiet roads meant that I could proceed quite slowly in town traffic and re-start easily. So thanks for your forbearance with these practice sessions.
