Bloody Drive it Day!! I've never got involved as it's not my thing but today I needed to drive the Ulster to give it a run out before its first event of the year next weekend at VSCC Curborough.
Torque tube anchor came progressively more and more loose with a 'bang' each time I hit the throttle, the 'new' throttle link rod still not set right despite much effort and adjustment in the garage and, biggest upset of all, when I got back, the very nice and very original oil filler cap had departed at some point and is now in a gutter somewhere. Torque tube anchor fixed, throttle link rod re-set (again!!) and oil cap replaced with a modern spare so Curborough here we come but I'll take a while to get over loosing the oil cap
