Presenting.... ye broken crank....

[lumpyv]

ask Honda for compo, " only just run in " etc etc

I reckon your posh rods rejected it.

Very lucky it didn't total the motor when it went and I hope you put the lotto on that day

if the engine hadn't been idling at the time it likely would have taken everything out......

I keep seeing that image in my head, especially while I was riding today. It had to have been fractured for a long time, maybe even a casting flaw? I don't think you can break a crank at idle.

[mik_str]

if it was a bad casting, it managed to hold together for 150,000 miles nonetheless.......

Wow...thanks for posting the pics Mic. You got off lightly as has been said it could have been a whole different story at speed.
