Work was really getting along. All major fabrication was done. Tank was ready. I removed the rear wheel to get some things done on the rear suspension. To do this I put an extra jack under the block. All went fine, worked the whole day like this. At nine in the evening we heard a tremendous noise, the couch in the living room shook. The last thing i expected that this noise was coming out of the shop. A bold was torn out of the table that held the motor. It tilted of the table, landing dead on the cockpit.

Concrete floor damaged! major dents in the tank. Scratches on the top face of the tank with concrete embedded in it prove that he rotated the full 180 degrees on the way down. I cried like a small child, I can tell you that.

On top of this: oil is dripping out of the block!!!

So it took me a while to get over this and get started again. I managed to take some pictures of it all. Now the work of the re-rebuild is getting along, I'm able to write about this all. In Holland we have an saying: shared sorrow is half sorrow.

 so here are the first pictures of the re-rebuild.

wish me luck. I've booked a day at the track 28the of march. Payed for it in advance. Only need a bike...........
