I killed my bike today
No I didn't crash!
-I ride my GZ hard. I run 70mph on the way to and from work and where ever i go on the weekends. Often i exceed 70. -Well today, on the way to work, i was going about 70ish maybe a little more ... the engine just gave out... i could tell immediately that it threw the rod ... -I just changed the oil and filter 2 weeks ago. i checked the oil this weekend before my sunday drive ... -I've been sooo meticulous about taking care of the thing i didn't think it could happen. not sure why the failure at this point... but i'd recon it's cause i ride the piss out of the thing. running your littl GZ at WOT or almost 90% of the time... eventually... is no bueno. Now to find a donor engine or just rebuild the thing... i got to figure out what's more cheap. One good thing did come out of this... My wife decided she want's to learn to ride. Said after i fix the bike she wants it to learn on... in the mean time i get to get another bike!!! :2tup: anyway's ... a year and 5000 miles later ... she's out of commission for a couple weeks...
