A beautifully crap day!

[Str8 Jacket]

Guess what?!











I blew up my bike again today.
I'll write up a story later but what started out as an awesome arvo turned to crap when I blew up the big end of the RG, this side of the taka's coming home.

Im a bit too fucked off to write about it at the moment. :angry2:

[Mom]

Though it's quite understandable....

[svr]

Two words.... 4 stroke

Whats the rg150 big-end gonna cost to fix? 'bout the same as a valve-shim on a vfr right?

[Swoop]

FFS get yourself a Honda four-stroke
Nah. Too reliable.
A spewzuki would be better... All that practice of breaking down has to come in handy for something:whistle:

[Str8 Jacket]

[merv]

She sure is Hellers - she should join That Guy on TV and get paid for her efforts.

[sinfull]

So are ya getting good at rebuilding them orrrrrrrrrrrr not ?

[Str8 Jacket]

So are ya getting good at rebuilding them orrrrrrrrrrrr not ?

Hell yeah. The only good thing about blowing them up is that they are simple to rebuild. Well, kinda. My man does alot of it.... :whistle:

[skelstar]

Hey Hels, while my offer wasn't appropriate I'd still like to help somehow. You're having a pretty bad run of it, we could at least get you and your man boozed one night up this way in sympathy... I'll let you sit on my bike!

[Kendog]

That sux, and it also sux that you are selling the buckets.

[chanceyy]

Geeezzzzz Hels .. mate as long as your ok thats the main thing .. as for skels kind offer :lol: ..

[Stickchick]

HEH!!!! should have let you take the VT for a run instead of me, that way you would have blown it up instead of me hehehehe, welcome to the jinxed club. :niceone:

[Madness]

I'll let you sit on my bike!

Not with the keys in it though, aye! :msn-wink:

[skelstar]

Indian giver!!!!!! :p

Nah, thanks for your offer of help Mr Bumbums. I really appreciate my mates! :niceone:
As for the booze drinking - You're on, wOot!


That sux, and it also sux that you are selling the buckets.

Yeah, im bummed about the bucket but its going to a home where it'll be loved and ridden like he should be. Giggidy, giggidy!!!! :devil2:

[Zuki Bandit]

Oh Crap, bugger and shit!!!

[sels1]

Jeez Hells, another one - how exasparating for you!
I'd give ya some stick, but its probably not funny any more....:shutup:

[Lissa]

Sorry to hear about this Hels, I know how hard it is when your bike craps out on ya, and all you want to do is go for a ride. I hope everything works out chick and you will be back on the road soon aye. :sunny:

[F5 Dave]

Not the bucket?!! :(

oh well, hope can get RG fixed. Shouldn't be too expensive if you give them the crank. Decent shop should know what aftermarket rod kits fit. Will be more reliable with some Japanese parts in it (ie 150s aren't made in Japan, but design is based on RG125 which was). Good rodkit will be Jap, TKJ etc, perhaps Long, although I always try & buy a genuine brg. May find rod is same as some year RM in which case Hotrods would do a kit. Finding RG150 part numbers may be a pain. If you can find a suzi part number I have a listing of other models it is used in if a common part.

[Str8 Jacket]

Cheers Dave! :niceone:

And dont worry, the bucket has gone to a great home and its still Welly based too!

[snuffles]

And where was your fluro wearing hero this time huh?:(

Tough luck

[skelstar]

Hels, I feel bad about taking the piss about letting you sit on my bike, and having being called an Indian Giver I'd like to upgrade my offer to:

...having the opportunity to probably be the first to ride on the back of Matte Mille (with your man's permission) once I'm back riding, fitting fit, and unlikely to fall over for no/some reason. As a 'hard-luck mate' bonus I'm reasonably confident that you will be the first in the Lower NI to ride on the back too (I'll confer with the previous owner).

Its fair to say that Mille will be polished 20x before you get on too. Up to your standards I hope.

Didint need ya bloody furo mate, just seeing you was obviously bad luck! :p

Must look into this...
I have the part numbers of what went into my one.

[quallman1234]

I have blown 4 up.

Bucket - twice.
RG - Once
RS125 - Once

[scracha]

By the time you add the gaskets and labour...I don't think so. Besides....Helen has about as much luck with 2-smokes as I had. I think the old VFR's are screw and locknut and need done less frequently than Hel's blows up her 2 strokes.

2 strokes are for Eastern european peasants.

250$ For a bottom end kit.
Plus about 70$ for bearings and seals.

No labour cause she has Koba!

[Str8 Jacket]

True, oh sooo true! :love:

[F5 Dave]

. . .

Oh haha hilarious. Up until recently any serious form of motorcycle sport was performed with 2 stroke engines. GP, MX, Trials, all chose 2 strokes as the only suitable race engine. The Diesels were always eligible, but eve Honda couldn't make one competitive with a zillion $ & a loose interpretation of 'maximum 4 cylinders'. It has taken legislation, racing class rewrites, & double the cc to topple them from this position.

Talking of East European, East Germany is where of course Walter Kaaden, the architect of the modern 2 stroke race engine hailed from.

[scracha]

Oh haha hilarious.

C'mon....what's wrong with a good 4 vs 2 stroke argument :jerry:

[Str8 Jacket]

My last 400cc, 4 stroker cost me in excess of $3000 in mechanical repairs and it still wouldnt go so, hmmmmmmmmmm.....

[scracha]

3 grand on a 400...bwhahahhwahhahaha. You can buy a decent one for about 2 grand.

Just because you spent 3 grand polishing a turd doesn't mean that all 4 strokes are unreliable.

[Bend-it]

yikes hels! the amt you've spent on turds and turd polishing by now... you'd have got yourself a reliable, new-ish bike with genuine low kms!!

Go with quality girl, it might cost more at the start, but pays off in the end. Some might disagree, but I'd rather ride bikes than fix them...

Ha, I got ripped off by buying it for $3000 in the first place. I spent well inexcess of that trying to keep it going!

Yes, and we all know about Helen's situation dont we. NOT!

If I could have bought a 'good newish' bike then I would have. Dont criticise what you have no idea about.
