Approximately 4:45pm today, JD suffered a fatal stroke.

The buzzards will start to strip her as soon as we can get enough people to get her out of Derwat's truck.

Thats nasty,
i cant blow the pics to have a good look,
which bike was this one, the one with the knock?

[gonzo]

where'd the rod go

man you wern't hit by "flying debri" were ya, hope not. that s@#$.

[Crazcnuk]

Yes, but by the time this happened it had several knocks

No, but I have a burn on my leg from the hot oil.

I took the pictures with my cell phone, don't think I can change the size.

[petejw]

just read your signature,
were you riding it hard when it happened?

[MindWebs]

hmm, an ultralight XS11??

maybe shedding a few extra pounds isn't a good thing..

sorry for your loss...

Glad to hear you are allright that could have been very bad at the wrong
time in a corner.

[Crazcnuk]

As hard as it would go, which was about 120kph.

The 'knock' in my sig was a detonation issue that we've been working on, or at least we think that is what it was. Really not sure.

Basically, I can't afford to do anything with it, so it was either going to keep on going or explode.

It chose the latter.

This bike has been cursed since I got it, so I am not exactly sad to see it go.

I am going to transplant the coils and carbs onto the 78. If it runs, ok, if not they all go in the dumpster.

I had that happen to a 78 Honda Civic Wagon once. But I was running at 75 MPH with the oil light on and I had no money to buy oil. I'm sure it had oil, but that is some massive destruction.

That one ain't coming back...

I have a spare set of engine cases if you want to rebuild . It's your's for whatever the shipping is.

Sorry to hear she let go.

That sucks man. but i guess it could always be worse!

[Crazcnuk]

Thanks, I have a complete engine, apart, in my shed, and another one in the parts bike (bent valves I think).

What I don't have is patience, money or inclination.

Yup same old Crazcnuk. Hey Keith I have most of an 78E engine sitting down here. Minus an oil pan and a bolt behind the clutch (name escapes me at the moment). And a few other parts. Not at all sure of the engine but has run in the last year. If you need schtuff PM me.
