Lol ya get tha picture from tha title my vn has finally shi,t itself. Was towin me dirt bike up 2 kinglake 4 a day of ridin and tha auto burnt out goin up sum pretty steep hills. I only jus managed 2 keep 1st n 2nd.
I wasnt gonna let it stuff me day up so i keep drivin 2 tha spot doin 80k in 2nd sittin on 4 grand. Tha mass oil leak didnt help cause there wasnt any oil in tha sump so tha motor was bangin off its head.
I ended up sittin at sum supermarket in tha middle of absolute f***n nowhere sinkin cans 4 2 hours till i managed 2 get hold of relo's 2 bring a car trailer.
Well...after the auto crapped itself, you do realise that the smart thing would have been to stop...that would have only cost you the tranny and a day of riding. Now...there's the tranny, the day of riding AND the repairs to the engine. Sounds like you've had a crap one.
BTW: Dunno which road you were on up to Kinglake, but the road from Whitlesea to Kinglake-West is DAMN good fun, just watch out for cop cars on the few straight bits. I know the area well enough to know how bad the hills are.
