Rip Baby Viff....
So I am now currently bikeless again. I think the babycepter took its final breath as a whole bike. She went in the shop to get new tires, a new battery, and to check on the carbs. I got a Voicemail today from my guy saying very bluntly "call me, we need to talk about your bike." Apparently before they dug into it too much, they ran some compression tests and its not good. They decided to stop and not tear it apart before they asked me but he suspects that some rings aren't seated. He doesn't think it threw something because it has never made any suspect noises. But they noticed some rust on the heads which lead him to believe the engine may have sat without carbs for a period of time. Both him, who is the service manager, and their top technician both told me it was done. They don't know if they could find parts, and generally its just not worth it.
So rip Viff, ill miss that sweet v4 purr.....
