Funny how things go round

I sold today a bunch of DS7 pistons I didn't need to a gent in Germany. These guy work on Adler motorcycles from the 50's… a direct link to YAm as the Adler MB250 was used as the basis of all YDS bike. No wonder the pistons fit straight into the german bike!
I'm sure they could use RDLC pistons from Wiseco if they didn't have the reed windows cut in. Read somewhere that Wiseco would do them at no extra charge. Something to check.

HEre's their little museum with NSU and Adler bikes.

When things go really sour.

After leaving hospital, I couldn't avoid a taxi opening its traffic side door right in front of me... Down I go and the sucker just leaves the scene! The RD has a few scratches more (Great!) and I've got a pretty blue foor and ankle.

It looks like I've manged to bend a rod on the 1WU... never push start a bike downhill, if you think the crank might be full of oil and gas... Hydrolock is not a myth! So much for a 10'000 km bike... It is now vibbing quite badly. HAve to keep it on the road untill the 31K is Ok.
