That's a good one. I bet a great book could be written on these stories :-)

well here is another story - when i flopped the bike in the arctic this
last
summer - My valve head threads for the carburetor were elongated( they were
starting when I left NY - but the fall exacerbated the situation) - the carb
was lose - gravity pulling it down - no repair was able to endure - jb weld
,
mechanic wire - etc
when the bike was standing or idle - the carb was looking down at an angle -
at 20mph - the carb was sucked into a normal position - rode it home that
way
for 6,000 miles - I have to get a new valve head - the threads are not
repairable
ok - its not a loopframe ( german boxer ) but it is similiar experience
richard
PS - the bike is put away pending complete restoration- I have not openend
up
yet to see how much damage internally( if any) there was from dirt
