what does about 12500 rpm and went "bang"
yeah that is right my blade engine
went kaput on the way back from bentley last wednesday ...stupid thing ...
i suspect a slipped big end
i luckily found a replacement on a local bike breakers in colchester
just waiting on a couple off gaskets from the local honda dealer
will put on pictures later

At least it died doing what it loved!

never a good thing those bangs

i remember that noise on a blade engine not nice at all at least there easy to change over.

Bentley in Suffolk, or Little Bentley/Great Bentley in Essex?

If the former - I didn't see you there!

I guess that you went to the bike meeting in the Essex Bentley...

The big problem with that event is the police presence - every Wednesday there will be police with hand-held radar across every approach road to Great Bentley.

On Wednesdays I always drive home very steadily from Manningtree as there will be one on duty one week in three somewhere on the A137, and that's 10 or 15 miles from Gt Bentley!

When I last went there, I saw 3 or 4 bikers standing by their bikes, "helping the police with their enquiries". I was stopped once near Brantham, but as I was driving my boring tin-top and only a bit over the limit I was let off with a warning.

i will be going

i been going iether on a bike or kit car for about 3 years now and never had any probs

I'll be there on be bike weather permitting

many thanks for the help over the phone from MAC1 in desperate times
couldn`t ask for better backup

thanks guys
