As for the nana run we did down SH22 I was the slowest of them all.

Dont know about that. Boomer and I were behind you the whole way back.
Well ridden mate.

Nice to put a face to the name finally. By the sounds of things everyone had a great ride. As usual some great pics by John. Was also nice to see catch up with and see Busa Pete's new toy in the flesh.

Having seen that rear tyre, I'm wondering how the hell you kept it upright at all. Damn good job, girl. And good luck stripping it down - the damage looked ... erm ... serious.

Hehe thanks, Just keep riding is how I see it There were no "oh shit" moments at all, an answered question as to what happend with the chain, which little did I know at the time it was an oil/engine problem.

I took off the air filter, and pottered around. Took the broken parts to my mechanic, and he said its the con rod and piston which was broken. When I explained that theres a crack at the front of the engine, with a nicely styled bullet hole he suggested I need a new engine.

So Mission now is to really strip it down, and get a new engine and drop it in.

It was one hell of a sight from behind!! just as well your were in the slow lane still you keep it upright and left the other 2 lanes free of oil for the rest of us

cheers

I guess the smoke was the impressive part?? As for being in the slow lane, well it happend while I was in the middle. But I managed to get to the side of the road safely.

Hey come on now! I've been good enough to keep my curses to my own bikes. No reason to think yours would go too.
