Yes, it was about the same time they used butter for cam sprockets?
The R (in VFR) fixed all that in 1986/7 though.

I think the main issue was lack of oil to the top end. Some folks in the US came up with a mod to use an external oil line. Honda put out a service bulletin with some bullshit story and tried to cover it up. Owners that moaned to them got replacement kit. I found an artical from a cheif USA Honda guy with all the gory details. I've posted the link elsewhere on KB.

Memory fading, of duff gen to begin with.

Good link there Bonez. Very interesting.

I wonder, with advances in Oil technology, if these issues are reduced?

ok ive got a corker of a story, i was riding some local trails around the rubbish tip when i come across an old guy and his boy scavenging round for scrap copper, this guy is so dirty, looks like he hasnt washed for years and his boy is riding a chinese pit bike around in circles, it was missing the back tyre and most of the bead of the rim, so i say g'day and he is interested in my bike so i answer all his questione before he starts with some stories, he tells me about his old kwakasqwakili zxyzzx 900, says a policeman wanted to buy it from him and wanted to see how it went, so he gets up to speed with the cop alongside in him and when the cop gives him the all clear he gives it the berries, he outran the cops, who later tell him they clocked him at 270kmh! then he says he was just changing into seventh gear and it was pulling the front wheel of the deck, (must have 408bhp i reckon) and this was all before he hit the "nitro pill" whatever the f$&k that is?? wel the cop buys his bike but apparantly never rides it and then he put it in some museum, he didnt say which one, anyway he kept me entertained for a good 20 mins until i made a getaway, i'd have to say this is by far the best story iv ever heard,

huh?? 408 is a fairly large number wouldnt you think? If your going to lie a little you could go for 250 ish wouldn't ya?

Reading that and Frosty's post you quoted I'd imagine that if true they'd have been runs done at 4am when all sane people are in their beds and staying out of the way of motorbikes doing their Starship Enterprise imitations.

Me, I'm such a dummy that anyone could bullshit me or try to impress me and I'd just have the same vacant look on my face to either option. Meh.

I love the Welly to Auck in 5 hours stories and the cop runner ones they make me laugh the most.

But here's a tale that goes in the oposite direction that'll change your perception of people. It did for me, just when I thought the whole world was full of shit....

Many moons ago when I was just a lad, I used to drink with some guys who worked at Pak n save. There was this one guy (one of the trolley boys) would have been about 50 or so, was a little slow and gammy but was good company over a pint. Now one night said bloke asked for a ride home so being the good bastard I am I bundled his rusty old mountain bike into the boot of my cage. When he gave me his address I thought whoa nice address, must have a few flat mates or something. When we got to his house it was pretty flash. He invited me and another bloke who was with us in for a coffee.

He made us a brew and said do you want to see my car? Now I'd never seen him drive at all after knowing him for about 3 years so I said sure why not so he took us down to the garage and low and behold sitting in his garage was a BMW 635 CSI in extremely nice condition. He kinda looked a bit upset and told us he wasn't allowed to drive anymore after his accident and we went back upstairs. My other mate and I were gob smacked at this stage and said nothing. He took us for a bit of a tour of the house, we got to one room and he proudly said this was his study. We went inside and there were large books for africa, some very impressive solid wood office furniture and a couple of degrees on the wall with his name on them.

He sat at the desk and looked like he was about to cry. He told us he had been a lawyer. One degree on the wall proved his story. He then went on to tell us he had been out drinking at a bar on Plimmer steps in Welly and had tripped down the stairs and ended up brain damaged and permanently physically disabled, his wife couldn't take the strain and had bundled up the kids and left. All he had left was the house and his car....

As long as I live I will never look at this guy the same, ever.
