Hi all,
I got my 91' domi last year, it had about 58000 or so km on the reader then. Got to enjoy it until yesterday. Stuck in some traffic jam for a small while resulted in engine overheating and dying.
Mechanics who did the spring maintenance on the bike warned me that it fould happen, as the engine was allready making noises both up and down... So they took it apart and estimated about 1000- 2000 km. Probably some previous owner was late with oil changes, or even let it run without. So.. it lasted for about 500 km more and then ...
So there - first bike for me, great everyday commuter and citybike.. Now with a dead engine. As i read some post here, engines for the dommie are a rare commodity... so im not really hoping to revive the oldtimer... But - it was fun until it lasted.
With the recession and so on i think it will be quite some time before ill have the money to get the next bike. When i do - i was thinking of a transalp.
Ill try to get the dommie to some friendly mechanics, ill let you know what will become of it. Most likely everything else exept the motor will be up for sale. Preferrably the whole thing. But i should find out by the end of the week.
