Catastrophic engine failure!!!!

[80GS750]

well, i was on the highway and wanted to play around a little, so i was pushing her a little hard and then all of a sudden i lose all power!!! i rolled to a stop on the shoulder just as she died. i could get nothing out of her, it acted like the motor just wouldnt turn over...

so i get it home and tear the top end apart, No cam chain!!! it just snapped on me! so i start tearing everything apart and find all kinds of stuff gone terribly wrong..

valves bent and broken all over the place, pistons all beat up and ruined, and tons of metal in my oil pan....
























and then i woke up.

talk about a nightmare. i am just getting comfortable on my bike and she is running so well... that really scared the crap out of me...

so i start to tell my wife about my nightmare and what does she say "jeez not more about the bike"

i have been talking and thinking non stop GS for like 2 straight months now.....

That's what mine would say too.

Glad it was a dream, man.

i was so relieved when i woke up.... i just kept seeing bits of metal and oil mixed together, and cam chain bits everywhere....

We had a truck come in on a wrecker last night an my work with a major oil leak. The oil leak turned out to be a fist sized hole in the side of the block

I hear that on a pretty much daily basis myself. ;-)

I don't get that at all. Strange.
I wonder what she is up to these days.
No I don't.:-D

you poor fellows. my girl likes me bike almost as much as I do. occationally she gets jealous, and if we are in public she occationally tells me "my 'Mech' is showing" went i drool as we walk by a motorcycle shop, but other wise she likes wrenching on the bike too.


Best part is that her dad used to ride a GS400 as well. I've never had a girl's parents like me so easily.

I kind of had a nightmare like that. I start out on a ride on my 1100, and while I'm riding the bike morfs into a 79 AMF sportster.

Who would buy a motorcycle that comes from a company that makes volleyballs????
