Simon on the GT185, tried to overtake a bike on the outside and pushes a little too hard, then a few corners later the GT dies.

No I decided to change engines so it's currently still a work in progress.

It's an Oregon Scientific AT2K.

I'll organise some pics of how the GT looks and throw them up somewhere this weekend. Been working on 2 Yamaha SRX250's currently.

The backend let go in a big way. I thought I was going down the road rubber side up, but I managed to get the bike upright enough for it to come back, and since it was a tight corner and I was not going that fast it didn't high side me.

Then the engine died. I think it's just rings. I'll pull her apart this weekend and have a look.
