So, took the bike for a ride, and the following happened:
1. No head shake
2. Water pump did not fail
3. Clutch didn't fail
4. Engine didn't exit through itself
5. Frame didn't crack
6. Clutch fluid didn't leak
7. Oil didn't weep

Sjoe, I must be the luckiest guy ever

Het jy saam met Harleys gaan ry en nooit oor 80km/h gery.

Hey Antvan,
I also have one of these duds - 10 months and 15 500 km later it is boringly safe and reliable - maybe I should trade it for a nut frying 1190.
I just remembered, the rear tyre needs replacing - these bikes are dangerous after all.

Soos die ouens op die forum te kere gaan, val die bikes uitmekaar. Ek moet se ek vrek oor die bike. Die ding is addictive, ek kan nie van hom af bly nie. Die elektronics werk ook briljant, lekker om nie te moet stop om settings te verander nie.

Het vandag 458 kilos gery in en vanaf Mosambiek terug huis toe, pillion op en panniers met vol bagasie. Vrou het net ons king size bed by die huis vergeet anders was hy ook gelaai.

Toe ek by die huis stop na die dag se ry was ek eers lus vir ry. Ai man, die LC is die beste ding ooit...

Sover is ek seker ook net gelukkig...

Na al die opmerkings van LC probleme (van almal wat nie n LC het nie...) het ek al begin wonder of daar fout is met myne. Nog geen lekke, krake of iets wat afval nie nie, en myne hou van grondpad ry.

Jis maar die ding raak vuil. Ek kan nie verstaan wat BMW besiel het om so baie stof toe te laat nie...

One other thing. Two weeks or so ago I go for my weekly ride on Hildr in our backyard, and I come across two dudes on a dirt bike stuck in the mud. Knobblies everything. I think: "oh dear". But you know, after they wrestled themselves out I took the same line and Hildr didn't notice her Anakees were supposed to get stuck. Guess she doesn't read this forum...

Me too:
1: No head shake
2: Does not have a water pump
3: Clutch still fine after 122,000km
4: Engine also still fine after 122,000km
5: Frame also looks ok
6: Q20 leaks out of the bottom end of the clutch cable every time after I oiled it?
7: Neither weeps nor uses oil

And that with a piece of Jap crap or actually worse, a Suzuki!!!

Praise the Lord, a miracle!!!
