Not sure if this is a repost, and to think someone posted this on the local forum and tried to sledge the big K .

Tough. That's what we ride.

No I'm guessing you'd need abnormally stupid idiots.

It looks like they had a good go at it though.

I was wondering who was gonna be first to post it over here!

This story has been around for a while but I was never able to grab the original. Awesome.

Yonks old mate, but a good thing to bring up now and then, there was a video of this that circulated for awhile.

A UK Magazine did something similar on an early 90s fairyblade. But they simply rode it for 40,000 miles without servicing it. No oil change, nothing. They then stripped the engine to see what damage had been done - it was very little.

Well that makes me feel slightly less guilty for not servicing the Hornet at dead on 6,000km...
