1986 RM250 ridden by a moron. All I got was the engine, The Junkyard dropped it off since I was the only one there who could bore a cylinder and rebuild a crank. And most everything else that required thought and skill. That's how I got the blown Ducati too.
So my guess on the RM is either no oil in gas or carb varnished up and running lean as a corn beef sandwich. Maybe both.

I don't know how people can not hear/smell/sense something is not normal with their machine. I'm a bit OCD and have saved two catastrophic engine failures due to failing cam train hardware, but even the average idiot should be able to notice a tick, whine or whatever, in an engine, that wasn't there before.

Lobster in Ensenada the combined weight was nine pounds
He drove THROUGH a cinder block wall. The water is a Koi pond with around $150,000 worth of koi. We ran a chain through the cab and lifted it straight up and out. When my guy set it on the ground I pulled the chain and then out of habit I closed the door. It latched. Hyundai makes a solid product
I was doing some diving. Trying for a reverse one and a half. Kept getting 1 and 1/3rd

tales of an SR71 pilot..
a little long but a great read. Mach 3.18 In-Flight Breakup Of An SR-71 Blackbird by Bill Weaver, Chief Test Pilot, Lockheed Among professional aviators, there's a well-worn saying: Flying is simply hours of boredom punctuated by moments of stark terror. But I don't recall too many periods...

Removing about 350 yards of debris to keep the channel clear. The dam is for drinking water supply to the city.

Bought mine new in early '79 for $3420
Was the sweetest sound I've ever heard!
Sounded like it was going a million miles an hour going through the gears.
Top speed was 130 at 6000 elevation.

Why the Bancquart CBX can rev to 20k, you decide? It's a marketing tool for his performance shop.
The CBX valve float issue was apparently addressed as follows (quoting Lionel Brancquart):-
"...we have worked a lot on the weight of the moving and rotating parts! we are 55gr lighter (tappet, valve +2mm tige de 4mm, retainer titanium Xceldyne, springPSI, twin cones, pellet) x24 parts all the parts have a surface treatment, the connecting rods are longer and lighter to accommodate piston in 66mm 2 segments and above all we have a very efficient ignition from Emanuel Guyonnet (who manufactures all the ignition for Guy Coulon Tech3)..."
