The DVLA authorised the WR to be roadworthy last week so when I got home on Friday I fired her up and blasted out on her first (legal) ride.
It was going well until the sun came down and the throttle stuck 3/4 open. Got home easily enough just using the kill switch to regulate the speed.
Saturday wasn't quite so smooth. The engine timing plug fell out.
Nothing a dive into the nearest pub can't sort.
But then 200 yards later a very odd shaking started coming from the engine. The cavalry arrived.
Diagnosis: the central clutch nut had wiggled off and embedded itself in the primary practically pulling the engine and gearbox off their mounts.
To be continued...
