<p>[QUOTE=&quot;midas1, post: 3599393, member: 21309&quot;]During my early 20s I had a 750cc Norton Atlas motorcycle.&nbsp;&nbsp; Above 90mph it would vibrate and shake so much I couldn&#039;t read the tach or the speedometer.&nbsp; Nuts,bolts and would start falling off above a 100mph.&nbsp; One night,above 110mph+, I&#039;m trying to keep it in a straight line watching for stuff vibrating loose when the right side cylinder head gasket blew, fire started shooting out of the blown head gasket.</p><p>Was reluctant to remove my (R) leg from the path of the fire because of instability and the vibrations.&nbsp; After that event and baking drive chains in the oven w/ lubricate my girlfriend told me she goes or the bike goes.&nbsp; The bike went.&nbsp; Still wonder if I made the right decision.</p><p><br /></p><p>picture from wikipedia:</p><p><img src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/12/Norton_Atlas_1967.jpg/300px-Norton_Atlas_1967.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
