HALL OF SHAME

 

This page is for all those of you with a less than abundant sense of mechanical sympathy, you know who you are, SHAME ON YOU!

 

 

                    

 

Why struggle when a hammer is to hand? CB750/4, gasket mating surfaces & fins mullered. It got worse inside, cam cradle threads completely stripped but still re-fitted.

“All old bikes leak don’t they?” Aaaargh

 

                

 

Yup it’s the same piston. Low oil pressure, seizure and decapitation of Royal Enfield single.

 

 

Tuned Benelli 500/4 - exhaust valve.

Four came out like this one, over revved to valve bounce stage. Ouch

 

 

Ducati 900ss, both valves snapped off & hammered into the head.

 

 

S shaped valves from another Ducati, a 748 sp. Cam belt failure.

Change those belts regularly, Desmo owners.

 

This is what a T120 con rod looks like only 50 miles after a “professional” re-build.

Some people just shouldn’t go near the inside of an engine. The bike looked stunning from the outside.

 

If your BSA single starts knocking; STOP, then get it recovered or push it home!

This one clearly didn’t do either until it seized solid!! More filings in the cases than a machine shop, ouch.

 

 

Inspired by the boys at Sidcup Motorcycle tyres, nice one. See more filth involving motorcycle rubberwear here at http://www.sidcupmotorcycletyres.co.uk/shame.htm
