| Thanks for all the feedback. I have four bikes at the moment. Ones in MCN next week if it sells I'll have the money for 92 model 900ss up at a grand. I just didn't want a repeat of the past. When I was 18 I bought an old RG250 Gamma and gradually tidied it up. Magazines were filled with scare storied of siezures and thrown cranks if ridden flat out. As I was poor in those day (1990's) I didn't ever ride it over the ton and was anal with servicing and warming it up. Then about 3 years later (when it was my 2nd bike) I let a mate on it who wheelied it, and absolutly caned the tits off it. Taken in by the mood I later found myself racing him flat out at 110mph. This was the second time ever I had ridden it flat out and it had only done 7000 miles after a full top-end rebuild with genuine parts and new barrels. You guessed it the crank let go, locked the back wheel (lukily on a straight) and I was towed home. I practicley gave the bike away I was so ****ed off. It's just nice to know how much stick something can take.  |
