I killed it! Mothers rejoice...... :(

Sadly, my riding time has come to an end for a while.

I was out doing canyons with some of the guys I ride with and it was somewhat warm out. I was running really high RPMs and pushing the engine. At some point doing the 5 miles we went into the canyon, my oil pump went out or malfunctioned. It starved my engine for oil, which caused it to overheat. When it overheated, the oil stopped lubricating and my cam shaft locked into my cylinder heads. It caused the main bearing to spin and blocked off the oil flow. My Pistons overheated and more or less wielded themselves to the inside of the cylinder(s).

In short my engine is now fused together inside rather than the pistons going up and down. I either have to part it out and buy a new bike or buy a new engine.

For all of you that worry about motorcycles and me riding one, you can rest easy.......FOR A LITTLE WHILE!

I miss my baby already

[vashti]

Sorry you are disappointed, but I will sleep better tonight!

[misombra]

why you did that to your bike?

[Junket]

why you did that to your bike?

Yeah, that was dumb.

Jesus answered his mother's prayers.

I didn't do it on purpose, I had no warning. It just happened and the engine was shot almost instantly. I just got it pulled apart, the pistons fused to the block, theres no saving her

[misombra]

you blew your engine. after that there's no saving any kind of vehicle.

Seized, not blown. No parts came loose and broke the block up, just got so hot it solidified

[IndiReloaded]

Yes, relieved. Sorry.

Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. He did it, you can too. Just don't go nuts in the process & have that loose screw.

So are you going to change your screen name to "Busrider"?

I was thinking more along the lines of "reallyfastontwofeet."

Feedback?

Walksfastontwofeet. Looking for women of name Reallyawesomewithaspanner.

Have you ever rebuilt your bike, Rider? That's what my (really) oblique reference to Zen was about. If I remember, the main character does this.

[Illusional]

i guess you didn't get injured badly enough to want to stop riding.

I've doing some rebuilding, but not to this extent. I have to learn sometime, because this probably wont be the last motor I mess up....its part of the sport.

Theres two things that will stop me from riding, dying or starting a family. I do everything I can to prevent the first - I wont leave my child fatherless.

[Illusional]

well it's like they say about bikes...

it's not when you get into an accident, it's always how badly you are injured in the process.
