I Killed A Honda

[hondajas]

Everybody always says: you can't kill a Honda! They never die! so on and so fourth. Well I was riding my big red 250 on a gravel road, about 15 mph and all of a sudden, bang! it coasted to a stop. :evil: Took apart the motor, what happened? Valve dropped, blew piston, camshaft, crankshaft, other valve, rockers, the entire head. There was absolutely no oil getting into the motor, maybe just a bit. Well it's parked now, no worth fixing, so I'm gonna have to buy another Big Red! (This time a mint condition one, though, don't want anything else blowing up ;) )

Why listen to everyone? Everyone, as a whole, is retarded. Don't listen to the majority. Only go by what you know, and your experience.

Honda's indestructable? What a joke...I have ran Honda for the past 15 years...While they do hold a certain degree of reliability over some of the other makes, they are...BY FAR, not indestructable. Nowhere close. I tend to break or damage something or another every time I go riding.

What year was it. And what are you gunna do with it

[ATC crazy]

Any make/model can do as you described...its just that Honda's dont do it as often as others. My advice is to look for a new engine instead of a whole new trike...since yours is "mint"

Good luck
